i would be happy to say, if the people of california or massachusetts or tennessee want to have socializedmedicine, let them try it and see how it works. they could learn from massachusetts or learn from tennessee. they shut down medicine in tennessee. if states want to try, let the experiments begin at the state level. but at the federal level, we have to stop a lot of stuff. the first place i would start with, shut down that department of education. i had a group i was talking to down at a honda dealership a couple of days ago and i asked them, how much benefit do you think you have gotten from a whole bunch of bureaucrats that work at the department of education. has it helped your kid at all? and there was a blank look, i don't think it helped at all. what if you shut down the department of education at the federal level. why can't that be done at the state level. gosh, it would be nice if -- but we can't afford it. debt and deficit as a percentage of g.d.p. here's the united states and we are right alongside grease and spain and -- greece and spain and these european countries that ar

saw that with the gates situation when he made that off the cuff comment about the massachusetts police acting stupidly, or whatever he said, a fire storm erupted. i think that's why he's been quiet. so i think that he has got advisers telling him, you need those independent white voters come the mid terms and come 2012 and if you isolate them by talking about race that's going to be a problem. guest: but if we get elected just to figure out how we get reelected, we've got a problem. and i think he ought to be free nouf talk about ifplt now guest: we agree. he ought to be. guest: but this whole thing about advisers saying don't do this because, i never believed that you get elected to office to try to figure out what can i do to get reelected. it should be what can i do to make the nation better or my constituents better and lou do doy that. guest: i think to some extent he's caught between his own dilemma and contradiction. he would prefer to be that race to be not descriptive of his presidentssy. yet it seems to be defining and not descriptive in the country so the dilemma he faces is how do you become a

weren't allowed to dock in rhode island versus home state of massachusetts we wouldn't be talking about this issue and the tax flat progressive or otherwise doesn't mean that congress is going to do the work to close every other loophole that exists to see people reduce their tax burden so all you get with a flat tax is allowing people who already make a lot of money and who don't have too high a tax burden to have a lower tax burden i don't really see how that math works out let's make it so they pay less which puts us further into a deficit problem and further increases the responsibility of the middle and lower class i just don't get ryan or you have flat fact and you are a flat tax than i even you know i think what we're getting at here is progress of it and that's the real goal here not to have necessarily. any rate you're graduated rates the goal that seems to be attained for here is progress seventy if you take a look at income tax collections over the last thirty years the income tax despite rates going down have gotten more and more and more progressive even as the top rate has gone down that's because as and as the eco

when the scott brown election took place in massachusetts on the 19th of january, at the last few days, we were looking at whether or not we were going to make an independent expenditure in that state. i was told there were 13 different groups advertising for and against the candidates. it has become basically white noise. running campaigns is about the message. it is about the messenger. it is about the discipline that candidates show. is about campaign tactics. it is also about timing. the timing this year will be very good for republican candidates. a big part is the money that you can spend on your candidates. committee fund raising reports are due on tuesday. what is your july report going to look like? >> it's somewhere north of $4 million but i don't know. i don't remember but i think that's about right. but our numbers have been strong. we are up about 20% or more over were we were two years ago. people ask how much money we need to win the election and i always say, as much as we can raise. you never know what the circumstances will be. our biggest challenge is going to the allocation. we have so many compe

i can throw bombs all day or tote the party line or make something happen for massachusetts when it is important." i think that is what voters are looking for in this election. if they do not see it from republicans -- by the way, the senate is also getting very close. a year ago, i would have laughed out loud if you had said that the republicans would win control of the senate. today, it is still something of a long shot, but it is not out of the question. but if republicans do take control and they do not have an agenda for moving the country for, if they do not look like they're competent, our voters will be just as happy to throw them out in 2012. they are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for and want something done. this merry go round will keep spending until they get that. i would like to open it up for questions or accusations or comments or anything. does that work for you? you want to do the microphone. >> i come from oregon's third congressional district, east side. the 60 districts that are showing states, paid as a picture of those districts and why they are s

or two. when you count your blessings, as the governor of massachusetts brought up yesterday for those that follow this program, sometimes it is when you are in a crisis that is a crossroads that there is an opportunity and it depends on the decision is made. first of all, i think that we have the money. 35 years ago, 25 years ago, i worked the same feat in washington, d.c., which advocated getting rid of nuclear weapons and catholic bishops. we are working on moral issues and immoral policies. rather than making judgments about people on welfare and this and that, i think we have to ask if our policies are moral. are we morally bankrupt? we have to say, in the first stance and this perspective, we have two occupations. we do not have wars. we have occupations. the first started will oil going to afghanistan. we have to reinvest how much we are putting into making war around the world and against the people of those policies. host: thank you for the call. we want to move on with others. i promise i will follow up with closed captioning tomorrow morning. he discusses himself as a maverick on our tw

or something like that. and you should suggest that to state and local government, and maybe your congressmen and navy blue will do that in washington. host: robert in boston, massachusetts. caller: thank you for taking my call. i just want to thank the small banks, but also i wanted to ask the question -- there are lots of times when you want to cash a check and you go in and a charge to $5. -- and they charge you $5. guest: each bank can set up policy. i know there are lots of things that do not do that -- banks that do not do that. sometimes the bank is reluctant for whatever reason and they do charge a fee. i hope our bankers would be more flexible, but they're not called the independent bankers for nothing. each one set its own policy. host: the thing there might be more incentive for policies to change as banks look towards the future as the regulations take effect and maybe even go further? guest: that may be the case. certainly people are very engaged in the process and they will be going to the banks, as they should, and say i do not like the policy you have on this or that or the other than. i will find another bank that will give me a better deal. if enough cu

in massachusetts, they had a comprehensive approach to juvenile crime where they had a dozen or so murders every year. they had a comprehensive approach to the problem. they reduced juvenile murders from 13 a year to zero for three consecutive years. and in pennsylvania, they invested in comprehensive programs in 100 different localities and $60 million and counted up a few years later and figured they saved over $300 million, five times more than they spent because they were effective in reducing crime and other social problems. in virginia, they had an area where they had 19 murders one year and came in with an evidence-based approach to crime reduction and in a couple of years, they had two murders. if you look at $2.5 million invested, there is no doubt we saved that much in reduced medical care at the medical college of virginia trauma unit. we can reduce crime and save money. 700,000 prisoners are being released from prison every year. and we know that 2/3 of them are going right back to prison without intervention. so this is an opportunity for investment. we know that the united st
