privileges in congress and as fannie became more political, who would be better at running it than jim johnson? maxwell named johnson the new ceo end-1991 maxwell retired and took home a retirement package that was more than $20 million. even charles schumer who was normally a big fan of fannie mae was taken aback. schumer, and i think maxwell did a good job but that is enough. under johnson any perfected its lobbying. went around the country financing housing project in the district of any congressman who might prove useful. the congressman loved posing for pictures in front of those projects and taking credit for bringing money into their districts. fannie mae was going to need a lot of friends because there was a political problem to be dealt with. in the 1980s thousands of savings and loan institutions had gone bust largely because they made a lot of crazy loans on real-estate. the deposits of those were insured by uncle sam so the government ended up with the bill for $124 billion and congress felt obliged to see what else might go wrong and lead to more bailouts. hud was still regulating

bob talked about jim johnson in that study that was done. so the conclusion was if we don't, don't give up the chart, we have to hug the charter. went to protect the chart at all cost. jim johnson was one of them came up with a strategy is to the way to do that is affordable housing. because the only regulator, the real regular of fannie mae was congress but it was the only ones who could change the charter. and if you could basically co-op congress and capture them through affordable housing, then you would protect the charter and then you could do all the things from earnings perspectives that they went on to do. y. johnson? a friend of mine had been at fannie in one of the regional office for long times it was very simple. fanny had a near-death expense in the early '80s in interest rate risk, and they risk, and they thought they had sold it through hedging. they had a near-death experience in credit risks, and ed, you change the underlying in 1985. they thought it fixed that. they were left with one risk. political. who do you bring in t

jim demint is a senator. he is the leader, the ramrod of all those right wing challenges. he put up ron johnsono beat mitch mcconnell because he's too liberal. he's leaving, quitting his senate seat, giving it up, to run the heritage foundation. we have other stuff coming up, but let's start with that. >> first of all, he's going to make a lot more money. ed fuelner, who is leaving, makes $1 million a year. demint has a net worth of $40,000. secondly, the leadership has tried to rein him in. they've said, you can't go out and go after these conservative republicans with really conservative republicans in primaries because you're setting us up to lose senate seats. now that he's out of there, he can become a kind of cross between grover norquist and the jim demint he always was. he can drive these hard right ideas, but he can also sponsor hard right candidates in republican primaries. i think he thinks he's going to be more important at the heritage foundation than he is in the senate. >> let me ask you about that, john. it looks to me not just -- the money is always a draw for some people, i'm

jim demint, who he leaves behind. demint's political operation spent a lot of time and money to get young conservatives elected to the senate. guys like mike lee, ted cruz, marco rubio, ron johnson, pat toomey and rand paul. yeah, rand paul, the man who wants to abolish virtually every government agency and restore the gold standard. with jim demint gone, i guess you could look at rand paul as the de facto leader of the tea party senators. establishment republicans, they ought to be nervous. senator lindsey graham looked like he was in a state of shock on the senate floor today. >> i met with jim demint this morning, and i, to say i was stunned is an understatement. he has always been a friend. somebody i could count on. personally, we've really enjoyed our time together. and i just -- i was stunned this morning. >> the tea party has poisoned, i think, the well of the senate and the republican ideology. the gop is so far out of the mainstream right now you can hardly recognize them from ten years ago. a new quinnipiac poll shows americans support raising taxes on the wealthy 65% to 31%. republicans, i think they're in the wilderness. they face a changing demographical situation

jim webb. the support of veterans benefits i think was probably better than anybody since the end of world war two, better than lyndon johnsonr a number of other people that came after that. that would be my choice, easily. host: if you want to give us a call, the numbers are on your screen the lead story in "the washington post" talks about syria -- fort lauderdale, fla., on our democrats line. caller: how're you doing? my choice would be -- merry christmas to you, by the way -- my choice would be jim webb, the senator from virginia. i think he probably did more for veterans benefits than anybody i can remember. i studied history going back to the end of world war two, to the days of harry truman and others. i think he did more than presidents like lyndon johnson and richard nixon who somewhat opposed an increase in veterans benefits while i was in college in the early 1970's. host: you are about the third or fourth person to mention senator web. caller: he deserves it. host: michigan, on our independent line, go ahead caller: good morning and mary christmas. i will miss or ron paul and dennis kucinich. if we had locked in

johnson: lastly, the bill directs g.a.o. to conduct a study to determine whether the medicare program should use smart card technology, an idea advanced by my colleagues, jim gerlach of pennsylvania and earl blumenauer of oregon to prevent waste, fraud and abuse in the medicare program. members should know this isn't the first time c.m.s. has been directed to act. starting in 2002, g.a.o. first called for ending the use of social security numbers on government documents. then in 2005, the fiscal year 2006, labor-hhs bill urged the secretary to accelerate planning for removing social security numbers and asked for a report. then in 2007, o.m.b. issued a directive to all federal agencies to develop plans for reducing the use of social security numbers. and then in 2008, my colleague, lloyd doggett, and i brought a bill to the floor to end the use of social security numbers on medicare cards. most recently, at an august, twelve, joint hearing, they talked about a lack of a serious plan to stop displaying the social security number. while c.m.s. fails to act, both the public and private sector are working to protect their customers and businesses from identity

jim cramer. becky quick. we're coming to you from capitol hill. and we're here encouraging lawmakers to rise above partisan politics and negotiate a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff. joining us now senator ron johnsonan from wisconsin. thanks so much for coming. >> good morning. >> i'm getting worried here. because clock is ticking. should we allow a vacation without legislation? >> no, i'm happy to stay here until we get this thing fixed. understand how absurd this process is. we've done this with the debt ceiling. with the super committee. now we're back here again where we've got two people, and they're unelected staffs negotiating the financial future of america. i mean this is absolutely absurd. and why is that? it's because the democrats haven't shown us their plan. we have nothing to compromise with. listen, i'm happy to work with anybody, who's willing to first acknowledge the problem. and then work with me in good faith to fix it. but i don't see that from the other side. i mean the house has passed two budgets, including proposals to save medicare. the democrats in the senate have not passed a budget in three years. they haven't voted for any plan whatsoever because they don't want their
