how do you extend the bush tax cuts and cut the deficit? experts say it is impossible. >> it is not impossible. any time taxes decreased, revenue increased because you are putting money back into the private citizens who then go start businesses and create jobs based on the private sector, not government spending. they go spend that money on those new businesses that are starting. so it happened under kennedy and reagan. when you decrease taxes, revenues increase. >> should creationism be taught in public schools? >> that doesn't have anything to do with what i will do in congress. >> do you think it should be taught in public schools? >> nothing to do what i would do in congress. my opinion on that is irrelevant. >> let me ask you about afghanistan. the president's timetable for withdrawal, good or bad idea? >> we need to make the foreign policy decisions based on effectiveness and not time. we need to look at what's going on over there and before we make any decisions we need to examine whether or not it's weakening our own security. >> i

. >> on a fiscal level, the bush era tax cuts are set to expire at the end of the year. congress will not act on a possible extension until after the elections. you think they should be extends for everyone? >> i think they should be extended for everyone for two years. so i think this would be the wrong time to raise taxes on anybody. i think at the end of two years, we can look and see, does the economy continue to need stimulus? has the administration and the congress made some progress on bringing down fiscal deficits? if they have, well, then we can have extension, maybe not at exactly the same rates, but i wouldn't commit as the president has suggested, to a middle-class tax cut forever because i think that would add $2 trillion to the national debt between now and the end of the decade. >> marty, what about the dollar? of course, it's been tumbling recently against other currencies. it helps exports because it's making those products cheaper around the world. but is a devalued american currency a good thing? >> there are pluses and minuses. if you're a consumer, i

you have been consistent that you want to extent all the bush tax cuts. but that would add $4 trillion to the deficit. you said at the very beginning, the first issue you mentioned was the national debt. if you're so concerned about the national debt, how are you going to pay for $4 trillion loss of revenue from loss of tax cuts? >> you look at whose money is it. the people's money who earned the money. we give up some to pay taxes. i'm not seeing it as a cost to government. but i will immediately introduce bills to reduce spending so i think we should offset it. i'm not opposed to introducing bills that will reduce -- >> chris: no way you are going to get $4 trillion by spending cuts. >> we're going to introduce legislation that will reduce spending. i will introduce legislation that will balance the budget. we have want a balanced budget amendment introduced if i'm elected and we will have a balanced budget that will be introduced if i'm elected. what i'll say about the bush tax cuts, businesses made calculations on these for five or ten years. business

now we want to see the bush tax cuts extended. e question will be whether or not the republican leadership in congress is able to make clear that they are doing all they possibly can towards those objectives, even in the face of what will facea veto was likely from president obama. the expectation of change in the midterm election is the time normally see in a presidential election. even if we have massive gains on election day, the republicans will not have the white house. it means you must be thinking about incremental change, and hopefully ways to work together to get things done. >> let me add that in 1994 new to gingrich and company came up with a contract for america with 10 items. each item was supported by specific pieces of legislation. all but two republicans in the entire congress signed on to the contract with america. it was a much more unified republican party. but now you have a leader john boehner putting forward something for america -- what was a call? a bunch of platitudes. they could not get their caucus to agr

despite the massive global demonstrations bush and the corporate media ignored and minimized the protests there are signs of protests like the sign of the policy based upon a focus group. the silence dissent and free speech there are still several thousand of these antiwar protest as roaming around the streets of manhattan so anything could happen and anti-war demonstrators tried to shut down san francisco's financial district again this morning when you think the spring see that that's pepper spray tracy i'll guarantee you they have cans of pepper sprays you can see quite a stray but once the war against saddam begins we expect every american to support our military and if they can't do that to shut up we heard of course the usual antiwar slogans the same rhetoric we've heard before no solutions simply slogans being shouted by most of those protesters and those like susan sarandon the corporate media took an active role in the purse for war and clear channel the radio conglomerate and a major contributor to the bush campaign even organize pro-war rallies and encourage confrontations betw

that's the bush era. i've seen one estimate where if you discount the consumption that we based on people taking second mortgages on their houses, refinancing their houses, that consumption but it actually had a growth rate of over 1% a year during the bush years. so are they going to do the same thing? and why should we expect any different results in the next -- with republican congressmen we had. >> a couple things. i understand from 2001 to 2000 from your startingith then-president bush commended inheriting recession at the beginning of his term that was then, after some brief period of growth, the attacks of september 11 had a devastating effect on our economy and we had to reconfigure entire government to respond to that. and of course, we also had as a result of the tax relief the president passed, 52 months of uninterrupted job creation. that's longest run of job creation in american history. and the fact is in sevn, with the tax cuts becausef the economic growth and the few unemployed, we have mor

policy in the region than just the war on terror so i thought you know the bush administration was probably incorrect to narrow the frame like that just in terms of war on terror there are much more significant issues ok how about you david what do you think about that i mean over the last six years when we were going in the right direction making the right decisions because the situation on the afghan pakistani border is not good i mean i used to think that pakistan's favorite game was cricket but it looks like now blowing up fuel fuel convoy so ok i mean fifty seven in the last couple of days i mean how is it going. well i don't think you would be the one to say under the taliban things were just really fine you know of no with no one is making that stand and nobody's merely names like nobody's making that claim here no no no i'm delighted to hear that i'm really delighted to hear that so if you ask are we going in the right direction and the answer is yes we are things are better in afghanistan than they were under the taliban things are better in pakistan than they were in many previous

laura bush model. one of thet costs more to get into a michelle obama fund-raising than a barack obama fund-raiser. >> why would that be? because she's not out on the campaign trail as much as the president and supply and demand if there's more of the president and his price goes down? >> exactly. in these particular cases it's just more expensive to see michelle obama and she's doing the big fundraisers and the white house in some ways is trying to protect michelle obama. that's why she's not at a big campaign rally. she has to maintain that role as first lady and her high approval ratings keeping it invite only and more personal sort of setting. >> it's interesting. sophie nelson wrote an opinion spot saying she's worried about putting the first lady on the campaign trail. it was only two years ago during the 2008 campaign that michelle obama became fodder for political conservatives and pundits. i'm not sure it is wise that it may resurrect that old stereoty stereotype. is there any concern about that for the

i will get to the book, i promise. these bushed tax cuts. democrats are saying that they will delay that vote until after the midterm elections. republicans want to press that vote on this side of the elections. what do you make of the politics around the bush tax cuts? >> i think democrats are making a mistake. having a vote before the elections would highlight the difference between the parties, because republicans want to extend the bush tax cuts to the top 2% at a time when so much wealth and income has been going to the top, and those of most tax cuts were mostly benefiting the top 2% to begin with. and the obama administration say, no, we want the bush tax cuts extended for the bottom 98%. the budget deficit is big enough. we cannot afford to give the people at the top another $36 billion, a windfall they never expected. i think it is another fight the democrats should take on. it would illustrate the differences between parties. but apparently, the democrats are punting. tavis: what do make of republicans, republicans wanting to force

we have been in the majority since 2006. when president bush was still in the majority, obviously, when you have a divided government like that, either the executive branch gets everything they want so we weren't able to steamroll the president. in the last couple of years, we have had the majority but because of the unfortunate way that the republicans haveav conducted themselves and used procedural motions and the threat of filibuster to require every single bill to get 60 votes, they've essentiallyge brought legislation almost to at screeching halt and refused ton be cooperative. the president has reached across the aisle repeatedly, tried to get the republicans in the senate to work with us and come up with bypartisan compromise. they've been more interested on victory on election day andes regaining power so they've had no interest in that unfortunately. host: governor mansion in west virginia running for robert byrd seat. the editorial in the "wall street journal" says that a mansion spokesperson tells the "wall street journal" that there

active role in the purse for war and clear channel the radio conglomerate and a major contributor to the bush campaign even organize pro-war rallies and encourage confrontations between the peace movement and the pro-war demonstrators. the media outlets quick to patrol the piece as anti-catholic and. anything i'm jodan and i'm tracy barry thank you for being with us tonight protesters burned old glory holed up. just simply create chaos at rush hour in contrast to the carpet coverage of the protests independent media were out in the streets and organized special broadcast to give the lease. program the largest ever collaboration of progressive broadcast media the march itself just a part of what's become the most massive diverse global peace movement in history well the corporate media in the us continues to build the illusion that us citizens are united for war it is very clear that more than a million people in new york today joining millions of people around the world have completely destroyed that myth and are saying yes to peace and no to bush but the corporate media is eager to wage war.

. >> that was passed in the bush administration. >> the 2005 energy act. dick cheney's legacy to us. just pump it down there. i say, you know, if gas drilling is so safe, then there's though problems where gas drilling, how come there are so many problems with gas drilling? if you people think that what you're putting in the ground is so safe, why not come into regulation under the clean water act and the safe drinking water act? they've been fighting it tooth and nail. >> would it matter, in terms of the companies disclosing what they're doing with this stuff, to me, that's the most incredible thing. they don't have to tell us and it's our drinking water. it's everybody's. it's one big aquaphor out there.

these special interests like the way the economic policies of the bush administration's worked because they serve the special interest agenda very, very well, at the expense of working americans and taxpayers. >> and quickly because i'm told we're running out of time here, in new jersey you have a congressman in a county -- a congressman who's running for re-election. and the charge is, and it's been pretty well documented, that the democratic party in the county with congressman adler funded and put up a tea party candidate in order to split the republican vote so your congressman could get back in. is that fair game? >> i'm not -- i'm not familiar with that. people should be -- no. people should be focused. people should be very focused on their own elections and getting out their messages in these campaigns. and that's what our candidates are doing across the board. and what is very clear and the reason i'm heartened as we get toward election day is people do not want to go back to the same economic policies that created the worst economic disaster since the great depression. are we
