.uest: that is a good guess there are a few areas where they could cooperate. one is lowering the price of health care. william would think that would be a good idea. another might be infrastructure projects, but the big problem there is finding the money to pay for infrastructure when we ,ave trillion dollar deficits so i am not hopeful about that one. don't see much cooperation on other areas. he talked about taxes. well, the president did mention the 10% middle-class tax cut. maybe they could come together on something like that, but there is no plan coming out of the white house on that. it's not like anybody has been writing legislation for this. william is probably on the ball. not too much will come out of this congress. guest: when the president made his argument that it was a great victory for him tuesday night, he talked about how he was happy to have the opportunity to work with the democrats. we should remember, how did we know the president from before he was president? the art of the deal. he is a transactional business guy. try to find some thing

i want to get a response. ,uest: what i would say to you my colleagues in congress, my republican colleaguesou should talk about the moral horror of passing on the debt and deficit to the next generation. , more debtave done and deficit in the history of the country. ist to me is something that egregious and something that we hope to turn around with investments in the growth of the american economy. last time we have budgetary surpluses, when we had growth at 4%. i don't quite understand the idea around previous administration's providing huge tax cut is that were never paid for. there is not a tax cut in human history that ever paid for itself. we talk about supply-side economics, trickle down and the new term, it is just a rebranding of that old discredited theory. here is what we know. it just does not work. it is not ideological. it is commonsensical. if the color looks at the record he will see where the vast majority of debt and deficit has been accumulated. it has been under republican controlled washington. we will hear more from nancy pelosi, holding a news conference at 11:00 a.m.
