the role of e gornme in a 21st century in the united states of america, and how do you resolve that questi in aay that's the backdrop of this eire debate. yes, it's about the precise level of spending cuts, about the tax level, whether there should be increased revenues from some place or another, but it's really this bigger question, how big should the government be? 19% or 20% of th, or 22% or 23%? >> rose: al?any single group ths looked at this, bowles-simpson, the gang of six, the national science foundation, every single one has concluded that to deal with the structural long-term problems you have to deal with entitlements and taxes. you can't do it without that. and i think obama was late to the game. you can justifiably criticize him for not getting in much earlier, not doing it in his budget, but he came to the game. basically what the republican rank and file said to their leaders was, we don't want to play in this game. i think in that sense, there's an imbalance. i tnk you could have gotten that grand bargain through enough democrats to pass the house and sete. it was the repub

but the questi is the magnitude, right? and i think we've learned in recent years thathe magnitude of the economic fectf tax increases is smaller than is often claime so we have a huge deficit. we're not raising taxes for fun, we're raising taxes because the alternative to know tax increase is really radical changes to medica and social security. that's what i like about the paul ryan plan. it's honest that says "if we don't raise taxes at all, we're effectivelgetting rid of medicare." so to me a balanced approach this which you have some increases of revenue which i don't think need to have these terrible economic effects, because they have not recently, is paired with some really significant changes to medicare and social security. if you step back from the metrics on this which is important and think in terms of common sense, it makes sense that a tax increase in someone's rate from, say, 36% to 39% is not going to suddenly cause them do all kinds of things differently and, indeed, the empirical evidence is that the diff

we say "peril," what we means that there are big questions about the management of if tompany, big questis about where it's going to go for both. the b sky b acquision was about growth. newspapers make up 3 3-% of the profits. it's a pimple. it means nothing. >> it's said the only reason the print maintains its place in the portfolio is because rupert loved newspapers. >> absolutely. so the question about what happens to it, we have to be very careful about divorcing our own projections of pert murdoch, this grea character, no question, from newscorp, which is a multinational company with lots of business interests that will find a way. i mean, i think it will find a way. it's certainly put itself at risk in a way that it didn't have to. we've talked about the silliness, the poor decisions, the lack of transparency that could have felt it. but be careful about the difference between rupert murdoch and newscorp. >> rose: what happens to newscorp, wh happens to rupert murdoch and in fact he's the man ere on the scene she can feel and know the center of the... the hot cente of this controvers

and host: what is the role of the public in answering these questis? caller: we need access to these debates and there should be a hearing of that. we should not be leftondering what president obama is going to do and what those democrats are going to do. host: have you been in contact with representatives about this? caller: yes. regularly. i have not had any response yet. host: will this affect el new vote in november of 2012? -- will this affect how you vote in november of 2012 democrats caller: i am not sure how why will vote yet. host: this twitter message says -- host: grayson, ga., and you are on the line for "washington journal." caller: this entire situation appears to be caed by the public and who they voted for, the role of the public in this is to learn and understand the scope of the problem that they caused. host: in your opinion, what is the scope of the problem? w do we go taking care of that? caller: in libertari, so i do believe in a much smaller role. juan paul, i guarantee that if he brought it back to the side that we originally in
