peterson, are there some similarities? yeah. you know, with healthcare reform, one of the things that i'm really looking forward to is the coverage of screening and brief intervention in primary healthcare or other healthcare settings. i think if you think of going to the doctor 50 years ago and you weren't typically routinely screened for high blood pressure, for example. now, it's done routinely. i think the same way of thinking about substance use disorders or mental health disorders in that they are something that can be screened for. if detected early, they can be effectively treated. and if you apply this kind of screening universally, then it is-it's a really good avenue for us to catch problems early to get people education or brief intervention or refer them to the help that they need. and when we come back, we're going to continue to look at some other methodologies that are current and new and that we need to know about. we'll be right back. for more information on national recovery month, to find out how to get invol

peterson?president will be forced to allow these to run their course simply so that republicans in the house won't have to face the wroth, or the wrath as you like to say, of grover norquist? >> i think it's a distinct possibility and it's more about forcing republicans in the house to face the wrath of the american people when the president puts on the table he wants to cut taxes for 98% of americans after we sort of go over the fiscal cliff or the fiscal slope. and this is a really interesting thing though, martin, and i think progressives have it right here, which is when we're talking about this grand bargain or we're talking about cuts in tax cuts and revenue, we need to talk about what these things mean. when we're talking about getting more revenue through tax cuts, we're asking the top 2% of people in america who can afford to do so to pay a little more in taxes. but when you start talking about some kind of grand bargain where you're cutting medicare and medicaid, we're talking about p

peterson, mr. boehner also said something very curious today.e said, and i'm quoting him, he took a great risk in his speech the day after the election when he said he was open to more revenue. he was putting revenues on the table, but the only thing he said was exactly what mitt romney had been saying for the last years, closing loopholes and reducing deductions. >> and, martin, he still had to walk that back afterwards. professor reich is right here. what the american people need to understand is that we're looking at a political party that for different reasons can sometimes put politics ahead of the people. and the reasons here have to do with the monied interests and the way they represent the 1% from a political perspective. so, again, my hope is that once the tea party congress within -- the tea party caucus within the congress is diminished in the new year, we've gone off the fiscal curb, we can have some reality in the discussions we need to have. >> but professor reich, boehner says there's a stalemate. but realistically, is the stalem

james peterson, last thought here. there is a pattern now of real dishonesty on the part of the romney campaign ads. they're out there saying that romney's been accused of outlawing birth control, contraception. nobody's ever accused him of that. they've said that he's not supporting the right of women to have it covered in their health plans. why are they putting out these desperate ads like jeep's going to china and women are under attack for buying birth control pills? i mean, it's an absurdity. who would be so uninformed as to believe these ads? >> well, chris, that's a different question. there are such a thing as uninformed voters and that's fine, that's part of our process. but this is the silly season. you know this, chris. you've studied many more elections than i have. this is the silly season. and that's why you get that kind of desperation. it's kind of strange, though, because i'm not sure whether they're making the appeal to the right demographics in the state they need to make these certain appeals to. i

peterson, i want to go to you because you've mentioned some of the issues that the physicians are facing in terms of when they do their screening and so on, and you also mentioned off camera that you were attempting to work with them on motivational interviewing skills. you want to talk a little bit about that? yeah, and i'm speaking from my experience working with trying to implement sbirt into primary healthcare settings and emergency departments or emergency room settings in wisconsin. one of the things that was very difficult in terms of the implementation, one i mentioned earlier, that busy physicians, it's very difficult for them to find time. the very brief screening itself, however, you can do universally to everybody who walks in the office in a very short period of time. pencil and paper are up on a kiosk. that will give you enough information to know what to do with that person next. that, in itself, doesn't take the time, but talking to patients does. in wisconsin, we used paraprofessionals that we trained very intensively to work with people, and that was very effective. the

in washington, democratic strategist julian epstein and in chicago professor james peterson of lehighniversity. good afternoon. julian, it seems mitt romney's legacy will include something other than just deriding 47% of the nation as parasights because his idea of capping deductions is being discussed but will this produce enough revenue and will democrats be satisfied if taxes do not go up for the top 2% given what the president has already said? >> it's not that democrats want taxes to go up for anybody. it's just that the math doesn't work otherwise. if you begin to cap deductions, you may get taxes to 16% or 16.5% of gdp, but there is no republican in the congress that proposes spending to be less than 19% or 20% of gdp. even if you take the republicans' own math, it doesn't work. you have a huge gap you have to make up. that's point one. point two, as some republicans have pointed out, this was an issue that was litigated by the last election, and the democrats won this argument, and the polls show that the public is in favor of tax fairness. and what this is really about at thi
