am the co-chair of this progressive caucus, along with raul grijalva, along with sheila jackson lee, barley, maxine waters, and lynn woolsey. i have a statement from our caucus that i would like to share. while toadying to increase the debt ceiling is a necessary step, the deficit reduction measures included will further harm our economy and hurt working americans with and implement still about 9% and stagnating economic growth. taking out of the economy money that will only place a heavier burden on working families. this is the wrong approach for our economy at the wrong time. it goes against our basic values. for that reason we and many of our members of the progressive caucus will be voting know. progressives are committed to a prosperity for the working middle class and we believe that reasonable deficit reduction can be achieved while advancing our values. the de's appeal -- today's deal falls short. the party republicans have held our comic hostage to those demands, but as a reduction should be enacted -- should not be enacted in a hostage situation. we have long said the fault on the full f

you look at people saying this, representative wilson, maxine waters, reverend jesse jackson equatingth slavery, guy needness -- goodness, isn't there a racial tone that really isn't deserved? >> i don't believe -- based on the comments i quoted a few moments ago, you've got a bunch of high profile tea party leaders and congresspeople who have made racially continuing dollars comments and it's a shame, and i don't condone it on either side, however, i understand where someone like jesse jackson or maxine waters or frederica wilson might be coming from given untoward statements representing the tea party and congresspeople identifying with the tea party. one other thing, michele bachmann, the other part of what was said by fledericka wilson, saying they want to get obama out of office and michele bachmann's big headline was one-term president. >> that's fine. that's what parties want. they're allowed to want that. gregg: there's been name calling on both sides, including most recently governor rick perry referring to ben bernanke as being treasonous, aren't he's invectives and epithets

where is sharpton and jesse jackson barbara lee and maxine waters on the flash mobs?re are they on those. >> that's my point. that's the absence of this quote, unquote leadership in the black community which, as i say are nothing more than overseers of this 21st century plantation. the republican party has not done very well in reach out. that's where we have opportunity to show the corner stone and bedrock of the. individual responsibility and accountability. faith and family. hard work ethic. these are the things to reexcept and get a thriving economic community within our inner cities. >> laura: today the president recontinued the bus tour i guess it's mercifully coming to an end. he is continuing the bus tour. he talked about how innovation also lead to fewer jobs. computerized you don't need people because you have great technology. atm machines where you used have to bank tellers. i'm thinking to myself now innovation is to blame for the loss of jobs republicans tea party mean congress, innovation is now the problem. >> yeah. you are absolutely right. don't forg

. >> and maxine waters is al close to jesse jackson. and i think if president clinton had abandoned, entirely, affirmative action, i think the white house knew they probably would have seen a challenge from jackson in the primaries, which they didn't want. >> what about... is this insight into the president, on page 307, where you quote bill clinton as saying, "what would you have me do? look, i'm a democratic president confronted with republican right-wing attitudes. if i come toongress with progressive prevention pac, it will never pass. so, in essence, what i've done, i've forced th to take this prevention stuff." i mean, is that what's going on in this town all the time because there's a republican core and a democratic president? >> well, that's right. and clinton likes to view things optimistically, so he was trying s to mane"look, i'm getting them to do all these good things, and they're the ones who are being snookered." whereas she was saying, you know, "you're being had by the republican congress." it's all how you look at it.

maxine waters, now we heard from wilson saying the tea party is the real enemy. we heard barbara boxer the senator from california talking about hostage takers referring the tea party and jesse jacksonthe tea party should be called the fort sumter party that out to preteblght slavery. >> what we saw in this last congress is people are fed up with the excessive spending and the debt. i think 70% of mayor cans think the spending is excessive and our debt is excessive. president obama and the democrats had two years, big majorities in 2009 and 2010. they continued to grow the debt and burden us with taxes and regulations that slowed down the economy. megyn: why are folks -- these democrats we are talking about making the tea party -- there is an ideological difference, but why are they making you public enemy number one? >> when you are losing the argument, the american people want to see some control of our spending and they want to see our debt being brought down. they want to see pro jobs economic policies developed and they are not getting that. so the democrats are desperate on the wrong side of history. so the only thing they can do is to make vicious and untrue and fabricated at
