mr. president, it's just not martin feldstein who said we ought to go after those tax expenditures. it's also alan greenspan, the former chairman of the federal reserve. here's what he said. "i think that the republicans ought to identify a very significant amount of so-called tax expenditures which in fact are misclassified. they are expenditures, they are outlays and many are subsidies and subsidies are not the type of thing that you want for an efficient market system. there are a lot of them." mr. president health care reforms that's what we're proposing. let's go after these subsidies, these subsidies, these exclusions. while we're at it, let's go after these offshore tax havens, abusive tax shelters. let's shut them down. if there is any doubt about where this money is going, here it is. 26.5% of tax expenditures go to the top 1% in this country. 26.5% of all tax expenditures go to the top 1%. so when we're saying you may have to reduce tax expenditures 17%, you could do it all just with the top 1%, those earning over $1.1 million a year. because that's where the benefit is go

martin. >> the clock is ticking, congressman, and what did you think of the farcical scenes of mr. boehner incapable of securing enough support for the plan, and do you think it is likely to pass today? >> well, martin, many weeks ago, speaker of the house john boehner called for an adult moment, and last night we saw them heading in the exact opposite direction. this is a time, as the president said, for responsible compromise, and instead of reaching out across the aisle, what he is doing is to catering to the far right tea party extreme of his own party, and went from a bill that is already, you know, uncompromising to one that is even worse. >> so are you calling him a child? >> well, i'm saying he was headed in the wrong direction by his own -- he has not met his own call for the adult moment at this particular point in time. we hope we get to that point quickly. unfortunately, because house republicans refuse to come up with the sensible compromise, we are going to have to ask harry reid and mitch mcconnell to see what they can iron out. >> i wanted to ask you that, because ha
