education policy in all sorts of other arenas and that is to have the federal government be the kickstarter give subsidies to states to be the incubators of change rather than imposing a top down approach as the obama plan is which it's better than nothing without question but i think a single top down approach doesn't really work and this is not states' rights this is that each state is quite different and so the federal government provides funding to let's say ten or twelve states to try to reach universal coverage and the health care world and you can do it different ways of mississippi wants to do health savings accounts i don't think that's going to work but if they meet the guidelines of ninety nine percent coverage and are well evaluated then the states become the incubators of change and so what ends up happening is you don't have these ridiculous bumper sticker mentality death panel type complaints or charges why because you've had a five year history of several states trying different things maybe a single payer in vermont maybe a romney care in massachusetts maybe a plan like our

we're making some progress, but we still need to kickstart or jump-start the economy.create jobs. cutting the pay roll tax is one of, maybe the only, action that congress can take in the next few weeks or months to do just that. to create jobs. we've got to do this now. we've got to give taxpayers the kind of center they should have by the end of the year, and i think it makes a lot of sense. we've cut this surtax way down from what it was. it's a reasonable compromise. it's a reasonable way to get revenue, to be able to give middle income families the break they should have a right to expect. >> the other interesting thing that's in this plan is that we want to eliminate the number of millionaires collecting food stamps. are there really that many millionaires collecting food stamps? >> well, the reason we put that in there, that's republicans, insisting on having that in their proposal last week. that's a measure of how far we're willing to go to compromise, but i think republican senators should ask themselves. shouldn't a few americans help us provide a tax cut at

think there is a pretty wide consensus that it is helpful to give people money when you're trying to kickstart economy. there is a fair amount of consensus that you want to give people money in a not temper way. you want them to think the money -- the business is like a temporary tweet. then they are more likely to save it. i do think that does grow out of the neoclassical idea that people are coldly dispassionate calculators and if they get the check they will think i have the money now, but in the future i will not have the money coming in, so maybe i should save it away. one of the ramifications of the kind of research we have been talking about is that people may not actually be so dispassionate and rational about this, and these temporary stimulus payments may do something. it is on something behavioral, as have looked at a lot, but the fine -- but the kind of thing people may be interested in. host: martin on the republican line. thank you for holding. caller: good morning. i am wondering if language and the use of language has much to do with your spouse and of your theories in the arti

we need to kickstart, jump-start job creation across the country. and we can do that in large measure -- not completely but in marglarge measure by a payroll x cut. it is time to move on. we should get this vote done on the house version and then we can go to the negotiation table. while we're doing that, we can get some other things. but to hold up a vote on the house bill doesn't make any sense at all. so we've only got days now until the end of the year, about 17 days, i guess, and we've got other work to do as well. but the main thing we've got to do right now is come together to protect 160 million american workers so that they can conclude the year and go into the holiday season and begin a new year with peace of mind and know that they're going to have that payroll tax cut in their take-home pay. and also to give those who are out of work, their families, their communities, and the country some assurance on unemployment insurance. so it's not time to play politics here in washington. this is the holiday season. people -- if there's any time o
