the judge says in her final summation, you are nothing, mr. baker, but a pebble in the pond.you are nothing but poor white trash. all my life, i was a bad boy. i look back and i see all the stupid mistakes that i made. and i see the young people that's here at this prison and i hear all the stories because i listen and i think to myself, you do not know how fortunate you are. you're going out there with another chance, whether it's five years, ten years or what. you're getting another chance. i'll never get that chance. i would give my leg, my arm, for that chance. i'm never going to get it. i'm going to die right here. it's fun to break the law and dance with the devil. but see, when you got to pay the fiddler, it ain't nothing nice. trust me, i'm living it. i'm living it. >> when it comes to serving hard time, white trash baker is hardly alone. >> me, myself, i got 35 to life. i'm here on a three strikes case. in the mid-'80s i had a burglary and attempted burglary. i did four years for it. those are strike one and strike two. in 1996, i caught a drug charge, a methamphetam

>> i cannot answer for mr. baker and the -- mr. gaynor and butehner and the rest, we need to work together in a balanced way to have growth, revenue, and give a message of fiscal soundness. that is a headwind to our economic growth. what is happening in europe is a headwind. the slow recovery of the housing market is a headwind. not as much credit as people need is a headwind. one headwind we can do something about is a message of fiscal responsibility coming from the congress. that is a decision that we have to make. the president came to the table and agree on it. republican walks away -- the republicans walked away. could we take strong bipartisanship, yielding on both sides on the issues. again, just a discussion of it undermines the credibility. the stability and the credibility is a headwind for economic growth. you'll have to ask them how sincere they are about revenue. we are very sincere about the cats. >> madam speaker, you are civil, you are normal, and you are funny. i thank you very much on behalf of the audience. >> t

mr. president, i also heard from a constituent of mine named dallas baker. he told me he loves serving his community and making a difference. but he said, "my daughters and i are all making sacrifices now. we are comfortable but we are losing ground. if taxes went up for middle-class families like his, it would only get harder. mr. president, rob and alan and dallas are among the 98% of workers the democrats' bill would extend our tax cuts for. those are the people i'm fighting for. them and millions across america. middle-class families who have been struggling, who have sacrificed so much, who shouldn't see their taxes go up. but, mr. president, my republican colleagues don't seem to be focused on people like rob and alan and douglas. they are much more concerned about the tax cuts for the wealthiest americans, many of whom happen to be their biggest campaign and super pac donors. they may claim to be here talking about small business orientation but they aren't speaking for the small business owners i hear from. not small business owners like rob and alan
