what's your reaction to what senator mcconnell said? >> my reaction is senator mcconnell didn't say one thing about how to create jobs. we should be doing that. we should be doing... deficit reduction is necessary but not sufficient. there hasn't been enough focus on jobs and job creation. we democrats are going to put forth an agenda this summer and this fall. jobs first. now economists will tell you or rather you look at the election and there were two mandates. one: get the deficit down. get rid of wasteful spending. but two and even more important create jobs and get the economy growing. an economist will tell you that one of the best ways to do that- - we're going to look at two things. one is infrastructure and one is some kind of encouraging of employment. now economists will tell you that when you build infrastructure it creates new jobs. and we should be doing something like that. our roads, our highways, our water and sewer, that's the old type of infrastructure. they should be doing some more of that. we should also be doing

mcconnell had a handgun on him and he told police he pulled it out and shot the dog.ill trying to determine whether mcconnell was justified in defending itself. >> it's hard to say at this point, we are conducting some follow-up investigation and once that's complete we will determine whether he did the right thing or not. cormack hopkin said the dog could not have been on mcconnell's property because there is no blood trail. hawkins says he and mcconnell haven't spoken in months, but in the past he said it neighbor complained about jasmine and one of her puppies barking loudly at night. he does admit that jasmine godfrey from her collar on saturday but he does not believe mcconnell story for that she needed to be killed. >> if anything, she might have gone over there to be petted. >> i did speak briefly with charles mcconnell but he only said that his attorney advised not to comment. their competence that he is considering legal action against his neighbor. christian schaefer. >> and after pit bull brutally attacked an elderly woman in an area, the owner get consent

senator mcconnell, i think, feels the same way on his side. and then we'll make a determination later today as to how we will proceed on this next week. i think it would be fruitless at this stage to have a bunch of votes -- well, we'd have to have consent to have the votes. i don't think there will be any votes this afternoon.

senator mcconnell is someone i have a great deal of respect for. though i very seldom agree with him on political issues. the fact of the matter is. we have, on the table, all kinds of revenue raises that they keep calling, tax increases. how do you call closing loopholes, to all companies, that are making billions of dollars of profits, closing up these loopholes that would generate $40 billion, $50 billion in revenue, a tax hike? that is not a tax hike. that is no tax hike, you hike taxes when you raise rates. we are not asking anybody to raise anybody's rates. we want us to have an effective tax collection and close these loopholes, stop giving billions of dollars, in breaks, to millionaires and billionaires, if you look at proposal that republicans put forward, they give a tax cut to -- of $200,000 per millionaire, by raising the expenses on -- >> right. >> -- for medicare on seniors by $6,000 a year. what is the fairness in that? >> congressman clyburn, you have seen, though, what you heard was senator mcconnell just been saying, obviously, th

but senator mcconnell has said no. the only way they're going to sacrifice is closing loopholes in the tax code. they don't need loans to help their kids get to college. and one other thing, senator mcconnell says we should take anything about corporate loopholes, about taxing wealthy people off the table. his "my way or the highway" approach is what is standing in the way of getting an agreement. the person standing in the way right now is senator mcconnell. you haven't heard such strident language from the other leaders. when he says take everything we want and nothing you want, we will not get an agreement. that is what he is saying. so the bottom line is very simple. senator mcconnell cutting medicare benefits will not make us stronger. firing teachers will not make us stronger. rolling back investments and innovations in research and high tech in the future will not make us stronger. but ending tax subsidies will make us stronger. meet us part of the way here. don't say my way or no way. because that is too risky.

senator mcconnell is being contradicted by many in his own party. it seems he has ventured out on a limb, and many in his own caucus are sawing it off. he seems to even be contradicting himself. he was among the 34 republicans who voted to end ethanol subsidies. he is for it and against it at the same time. it makes no sense for leader mcconnell to on one hand say he agrees that ethanol subsidies are wasteful but then to stick to an ideological, wait-out-there principle that we can't eliminate that subsidy in the debt limit deal. leader mcconnell, which is it? are you for eliminating the ethanol subsidy or not? if you are ok with including it in the debt ceiling, why not other revenues to ensure that other sacrifices are shared? it is clear that certain republicans are twisting themselves into knots in their attempts to justify this idea that we cannot include revenues in this deal. [inaudible question] >> whatever the amount of money , is his significant. it could be $3 billion if senator feinstein and others come it a compromise, it will be at lea

many in senator mcconnell's own party are abandoning mcconnell's approach. one said that i think that the president's on fiscal commission said that there is a lot of money being used in tax expenditures. we should get them all on the table and see which ones makes sense. senator alexander, another member of the leadership. it is a the time to take a hard look that and more tax breaks. not one of us. another member of the republican leadership. yesterday, fox news reported that the senator is putting together his own debt reduction plan that seeks to cut $9 trillion and $1 trillion of that is from revenue breaks. senator mcconnell's command is being contradicted by many in his own party. it seems that he has ventured out on a limb and many in his own caucus are sawing that off. he was one of the 34 republicans that voted to end the ethanol subsidies. he is for and against it at the same time. it makes no sense for leader mcconnell to say that he agrees the ethanol subsidies are always full. -- are wasteful. he is sticking to a wide out ideological principle.

we heard mcconnell talking taxes. house wants to close some of the tax loopholes but republicans are saying, hey, that's a tax increase. who blinks first, dana? >> reporter: i don't know. if you can answer that question, maybe you can solve the crisis. >> that's why i'm asking you. >> reporter: it's unclear who is going to -- i was just talking to a democratic source who say they have roughly about $300 billion to $400 billion that they would love to deal with when it comes to getting rid of some of those tax subsidies, things like getting rid of oil and gas subsidies and getting rid of subsidies for companies that -- from the perspective of democrats ship jobs overseas, things like that. but anything like that, republicans are really dug in saying they don't believe that's the way to go on this particular issue. and this issue is broadly coming up with an agreement that will allow republicans and some democrats to say, yes, i will agree to increase the debt ceiling to allow the government to borrow more at a time pol

senator mcconnell said we cannot consider the repeal of the tunnel. this is a subsidy that is not needed. that is hurting our economy. it is hurting our economy directly and senator mikulski and i represent maryland, we can tell you what impact it has on the poultry industry. it will help us preserve jobs in agriculture in this region because of the cost of corn associated with corn ethanol. not only will the repeal of the subsidy help us to bring forward a credible plan to deal with our deficit, ethanol is one example. there are many examples of the polls. not necessarily tax breaks in the code that we could agree upon. we're moving forward with a response will plan to reduce our national deficit. we need to increase our debt ceiling and make sure that our nation is not put at risk. the president's call was the right. -- the right one. we urge senator mcconnell to be responsible and allow us to consider in this package tax breaks that should not be there. locals that we can close so we can move our nation four. let me turn it over. >> thank you. i am

senator mitch mcconnell. separate meetings today at the white house.ou think is likely to happen? >> well, we remember that the republicans for weeks have been saying that the president has to get involved in these budget talks. last week the house -- the house majority leader, the number two republican, eric cantor, pulled out of the budget talks. today the president finally gets involved with the two leaders, the senate, harry reid, and mitch mcconnell, the republican. they're going to have talks at the white house. the talks are obviously about the debt ceiling. are they going to be to raise the debt ceiling a month away from the deadline, august 2nd, or the debt ceiling to be raised, and republicans are saying that nothing is going to happen unless the president begins, and where are they willing to compromise? are republicans willing to compromise in any way, and where are democrats willing to compromise on spending, on medicare cuts? it's not clear that either side made any progress, but now that the president is involved, perhaps something will

to be bad i mean and maybe i'm inferring things here but you know that there's a rule that mitch mcconnellcame out and said his job is to keep president obama from being reelected right and which is if they can crash the economy that's going to be bad for president obama that's right and that's that's that's really graham bell thank you again for the great work you're doing and promoting your work sharing programs for. thanks for being good on your four for the work throughout this debate on our debt republicans often cite what's happening on the other side of the planet in japan as a warning of what could happen if we don't get our debt under control currently our debt is about ninety five percent of g.d.p. japan's debt on the other hand is about two hundred twenty five percent of g.d.p. far worse than ours and republicans claim that because of their enormous debt japan is suffering from a lost decade of economic activity that the once rory age an economic powerhouse of the one nine hundred eighty s. was badly wounded by out of control spending and has been limping along ever since and th

. >> mitch mcconnell, the leader obviously on the senate side said i think i can safely say that thisongress is not going to raise taxes so why are we still talking about it? isn't there a point here? because his point is even when democrats controlled the house and the senate and the president was in the white house they could not pass any kind of tax increase, they could not deal with any of the subsidies so why either bother to fight for it at this point? >> they could not pass it because the republicans obstructed it -- >> and they still would, so isn't it pointless? >> no, it's not pointless, unless it's pointless to not reduce the deficit. this is a 10-year proposal. this will affect -- this is not a six-month agreement that they had with the continuing resolution. this is a 10-year proposal. if we agree on values that say we are going to educate our children and respect the dignity of the retirement of our seniors and create jobs, and we're going to do so in a way that reduces the deficit, you couldn't possibly just buy into the cuts without the revenue and the recognition for

in an opinion piece on cnn.com, republican leader mcconnell claimed tax hikes can't -- when leader mcconnell is talking about tax hikes, he's talking about the rates that the wealthiest americans pay in taxes, often lower than ordinary american families, believe it or not, gas and oil and other subsidies that go to big industries, and tax loopholes that generations of corporate lobbyists have wangled into the tax code. that's what they're talking about when they talk about tax hikes in this context. let's take a specific look at what the republicans are fighting so hard to protect. last month republicans filibustered a measure that would have ended $21 billion in unnecessary tax subsidies for the largest oil companies in the nation, companies that have been enjoying record multibillion-dollar profits and do not need continued support from the american taxpayer. when we tried to break the republican filibuster, republicans voted to protect those big oil subsidies even though they add to the deficit. that happened right here on the senate floor just a short time ago. to keep our american ship
