your mack penny plan is? >> really simple.ix years, we cut 1% of spending for six years. >> sean: wait. we freeze the 2011 levels? >> that's right. >> sean: $3.6 trillion? >> we freeze it at that level. take 1% for six years. >> sean: one pen out of every dollar? >> one penny out of every dollar. this isn't a big lift, and washington can do it. then we cap spending to 18% of gdp in the seventh year. in the eighth year, the budget is balanced, and after 10 years we cut $7.5 trillion. all of this talk about the cuts, the supposed cuts that happened in this last bill that passed, those aren't cuts. those are fantasy cuts, reductions in the rate of growth. everyone knows if you continue to spend $1.6 trillion more than you bring in, you have to borrow that money, it adds to the debt. we can't continue to do that. >> sean: your fellow floridian marco rubio spelled it out best giving his argument. he said we take in $180 billion a month, right? >> uh-huh. >> sean: we spent $120 billion more. we spend $300 billion. only take in 180.

. >> host: is the legislation similar to what mary bono mack is pursuing? >> guest: well, congresswoman mack's legislation on the house side, i think, is a good starting point, but i don't think it goes as far as congressman rush's bill from the last congress. one of the accomplishments in the last congress was to recognize, also, the significant role that the information broker industry plays in this particular area and the need, i think, to establish some new privacy safeguards for that industry. what congresswoman bono mack felt was at this point she just wanted to focus on the security side without looking at the privacy issues. our view is that the privacy issues need to be considered at the same time. >> host: final question, mr. nagesh. >> host: speaking to data minimization, we've seen attention there between the privacy experts and many industries feel there needs to be as little data kept as possible whereas in law enforcement, and we've seen in the house bill which under the purpose of cutting down child porn -- >> guest: yes, i testified on that

i'm consuelo mack.ember the greenspan years of the 1990s and the wall street pundits and investors believed we tamed the boom and bust economic beast and were forever destined to live in a goldilocks economy of steady growth, low price and near full employment? did we ever really believe that? we sure did. this week's guest yale professor robert shiller wrote about it in a recent new york time column as quote, the origins of the current economic crisis. a particular kind of social epidemic and speculative bubble that generated pervasive optomism and complacency and he said markets are driven by stories and word of mouth contagion. well the market story is far different today than it was a decade ago. this week alone we have more evidence of decelerating growth and nervous reaction to it. revised second quarter gdp turned out to be slower than initially report and below consensus forecasts and more recent reports from several reserve banks are showing spreading weakness in business activity. in a much an

ryan mack is with us. seems like the same discussion every single day.e have to have it because there are still a lot of people out there wondering what the heck to do. and you are actually taking an interesting approach here. you're calling what we are seeing now the new normal. tell me what you mean by that. >> essentially, the new normal essentially means in 2005, '06, businesses that were essentially borrowing excessively and hoping that today, for tomorrow, they are going to be able to earn excessively to pay off their debt they acquired today. essentially what they are doing now is paring back and keeping cash on hand to sustain themselves. they are being more moderate in their approach. we are going to be in this quite some time. if we think businesses are hiring at the same rate they were before it's not going to happen so they are being more prudent and wise as a matter of fact with their debt act circumstances levels. >> are you saying what we have seen take place is, in some way, a blessing? >> i actually do believe that. again, we are taking

joining me is connie mack, and you voted on a deal with bipartisan support and saved america from going into catastrophic default and i only assume that you are quite happy for the country to go into catastrophic default? >> well, then you would have assumed wrong obviously. my point is this, that we now have over about $14.5 trillion of debt. and with this bill that passed today, we are assured to have over $17 trillion in debt, and none of the cuts in the bills are cuts off of real numbers. they are all cuts off of increases in spending, and what i have heard over and over again from my constituents, people around the state, and all over the country that have been calling my office, they are saying enough is enough. we want a solution, and we don't want a deal or a compromise. we want to solve the problem. so my vote was for solving the problem. and this bill did not do that. >> the problem is that any sensible economist around the world says that you cannot get america out of this catastrophic debt is now in without raising taxation, and you are implaque bli opposed to this? >> well,

i was asking if you heard, for example, the mack plan, we free spending levels, 18% gdp and we balancehe budget in 8 years. why can't we debate these issues. cap and balance was good plan. why did they cut it off. why not? >> the spine is still missing that president reagan talked about. he reminded as our spine is stiffened that strengthens others around you and to stand on principle and do what is right. when we go forward and how to strengthen our economy and talk about the need to cut, to cap, to balance the budget. to balance the budget, seaan, which is so fundamental, democrats preached it for many years and they have the opportunity in the last couple of months and they scannedered that opportunity. at the didn't want the balanced budget amendment. we have to take a symbolic vote sometime after october. i, too, i am puzzled by the wasteful opportunities we have here in congress as we see the doors open to finally see the fundamental economic change, the reform the transformation that would be healthy when indictments our entitlements and big government programs that need to spop

other mayors, including mayor mack, have had to do the same thing. i feel like i have to do every day. and i just came out of a primary myself. a seven-way race with 48% of the vote. i think the public does understand. there has to be some give and take. there has to be some change. and our federal and state governments need to take that lesson from the voters. >> mayor mack, the last word. as you were watching these debt ceiling debates were you scratching your head and saying why can't anyone negotiate in good faith and get things done quickly? >> you know, i think there were so many elements that came into play. people were trying to make their points. they were trying to make -- i believe the congress was trying to make america aware of the concerns -- the fiscal concerns of our country. but i think it was the wrong time to do it. and i am in agreement with mayor walling in that i think the president did a job of keeping the debate about the issues we face about health care, about the medicare costs, about social security and things of that natur

>> well, connie mack's idea sounds interesting. i haven't seen the specifics. but it sounds like the right steps, certainly. look, we've gone from government at all levels, federal, state and local level from being roughly 27% of our economy, that was during the kennedy years to today, 37% of our economy. the democrats say let us tax you more. let us take more of your economy. we are inches from no longer having a free economy. i say, i'm not willing to keep government growing. i'm insistent that we cap the amount of government spending as a percentage of the total economy and balance our budget. those are principles that are critical. i'm going to fight for those things. if i'm president of the united states and if we have republicans in both houses and majority in both houses, you are going to see us finally draw a line on the growth of government. we cannot go on with government borrowing more and more and eating more and more into the future of america's economic vitality. i'm not going to allow that. >> sean: i want to pick that up and maybe get to some sp
