i am dagen: mcdowell, this is bull's and bears. welcome to everybody.s the economic message of the democratic party the real issue here? >> it is. welcome back, we missed you last week, back with us. second of all, what the democrats miss is this part of that country. the small entrepreneur, who works hard and basically sees the democratic message as one big ponzi scheme, moving money from a to be at the expense of that veterinarian or hard-working entrepreneur or backdoor worker. the vast majority of america is looking to provide essential government services but beyond that, scale down, stop trying to spread the wealth around equally to the detriment of everyone who is working hard for a living. to go back -- phil flynn was for smaller government. that is the winning message, instead they are doing the opposite. arthel: dagen: and two losses in the special election and more than that, more in recent months and now you hear democrats talk about we need to change the message to jobs and the economy. >> gary was right, not just about the message but tact

maria: it's exactly what dagen mcdowell just said. transfer you want to point out the 22 million number was slightly higher in terms of the number of people will not have insurance in a decade. this is based on the current projection. it's because they choose not to buy it because these bills get rid of the individual mandate and the employer mandate, which is really hurt small businesses. i don't think that it's about bill, but it is financially oriented. it is meant to fix the mushrooming problem that is medicaid, returning it for going to block grants for being an open-ended entitlement. it is about the finances. it's about cutting taxes in this country that have hamstrung businesses that have smaller businesses from hiring. in terms of messaging, people want more health care. they want cheaper health care and they don't message on that. >> alex, robert wolfe. how are you? >> i agree with you on the idea that there's a good chance to thread the needle here. it seems to be there or three buckets of naysayers. you have something like
