first up, here's steve scalise. representative scalise, when it comes to telecom bills and the fcc, what's sure general philosophy, your approach? >> guest: my philosophy is that one of the things that we've seen in terms of great innovation, job creation and technology in the technology industry is the fact that technologies move so fast that government hasn't figured out how to regulate it and slow it down. and that's something that, i think, has been a great hallmark of an industry that has really been a success story in our economy, but also something that's given people so many great things to do to help change their lives. i mean, what technology's done especially in the video marketplace has been revolutionary, and in large part it's happened because the government hasn't figured out how to slow it down. when you look at what the fcc proposes many times, we've had some pushback because we see them trying to come in and get the government involved in regulating the internet, for example, and interfering with so

. >> we're now joined by representative steve scalise who is chairman of the republican study committee. steve? >> thank you, grover, and i want to thank grover for the leadership he provides through americans for tax reform. number one, highlighting just what tax policy means to real families across this country. but also how important it is to cut tax rates, to get economic growth, to get more people back to work in this country. and i think the importance of this highlight leading up to april 15th so important especially today when we're actually voting on a house budget. because we've had some really incredible debates up on the house floor because our budgets are our visions for the country. how are we going to actually get our country moving again? the republican study committee just had a budget on the floor. paul ryan is bringing forward the house republican budget on floor. both of those budgets actually get to balance within the ten-year window, and what's so interesting about that is we do all of that by putting americans back in charge of their government, by getting washing

steve scalise brought up that document we talked about yesterday. the internal signoff form with the lead design engineer for the chevy cobalt apparently signed off on a change to the ignition switch in 2006. now, that engineer, still a current employee at gm, later testified in a civil lawsuit deposition last year that he knew nothing about that change. now, barra was asked about that point-blank why the change was made, why the part number was not changed, and the safety concern was not publicized. and why no recall was issued. now, yesterday, she didn't directly answer the questions, citing the ongoing investigation that gm has commissioned. now, she reiterated that she hoped to find the answers to what happened. in today's senate hearing, however, she did call the part change without changing the part number "unacceptable." and we've reached out to ray degeorgio for comment but have not heard back. andrea, we are still waiting to get some of these clear answers to the specifics, those technical specifications that senators are grilling barra abo

that's the chairman of the ,epublican study committee steve scalise. i mentioned the pushback by the american people and by congress and now the discussion that has been kicked off by the chairman ,f the ways and means committee congressman from michigan. he is taking the lead in drawing what the future can look like and how we move there and also where we are going with tax extenders. from auld just say free-market conservative perspective, i think the most important tax decision to make is to maintain what is called bonus depreciation. all it really is is moving towards expensing. it is sort of halfway towards expensing. whoever call the bonus depreciation i think made a mistake. than fullally less expensing, which is where we ought to be on new investment in the united states, but maintaining that and expanding it to all investment, i think, is ultimately the right way to go. cap -- --ave camp -- dave kemp. >> thank you for all you've done -- chairman dave camp. >> thank you for all you've done. we do not really have the kind of growing economy, the
