the fact of the matter -- look, even the president's top economist christine romer and her husband did research in 2007 when she was in the private sector in which she said taxes of the type that the president is talking about have a direct negative impact on our gdp. we are close to the tipping point right now in terms of what our debt is versus the gdp. for the president to say what he wants us to do is to raise taxes, which will have a negative affect on the growth of our economy, in other words, make the gdp even smaller, is just crazy. and so all i can say to you is i know what the polls are saying but the fact of the matter is i'd rather look at my grand kids than look at the polls and i'd like to be honest with them and i think we are being honest with them. the american people finally will reward good behavior. the fact of the matter is i think we are doing the right thing. we've got to continue to do the right thing and not be knocked off because the president has a press conference or two. alisyn: congressman dan l u.n. gren we really appreciate you taking a brick to come on
