but when you look at history, look at 1920 under calvin coolidge, 1986 under ronald reagan, 2000 under president bush, all tax cuts equated to higher economic growth. and look under president obama we've gone from 2.1 in revenue going to the government to 3.3, a 50% gain in tax revenue. and yet the debt has doubled and we've had under 3% gdp growth in under ten years. to try to cherry pick that is more than misleading. >> thank you. thanks everybody. cavuto on business is about 20 minutes from now. kennedy is in for neil today. hello, kennedy, what have you got? >> hey, dagen, the nation's second largest labor union slashing its budget saying when president-elect trump takes office unions will take a loss. but some here say that means all workers will win. plus, brawling teens creating havoc at malls across the country, now calls to ban minors without an adult to keep shoppers safe. we'll debate it at the bottom of the hour. >> thank you, kennedy. we can't wait. >>> but up here first, one of president obama's last acts, slapping russia with sanctions over accusations of trying to inter

bailey's vote under the count act, an more importantly congress had no power to exclude his vote under the constitution. to do so would be a violation of the rights of the sovereign states. some have argued that the bailey precedent is not applicable when an elector violates his or her state's law when casting a faithless vote. i find this suspect. unless no candidate reaches a majority, congress' role in the counting process appears to be ministerial. count votes and announce the result. the faithful electors is rightly resolved at the state level before the results reach congress. at the present time, however, a hodgepodge of state laws exist to deal with faithless electors. some of which are ill-equipped to handle the problem. fortunately, the uniform law commission has proposed the faithful presidential electors act which has already been enacted in four states. the faithful presidential electors act provides a stayed administered pledge of faithfulness with any attempt by an elector to submit a vote in violation of that pledge constituting a resignation from the office of elector.

however there is that repeal process under way.is a budget measure that has gone through today and that will make way for a repeal and replace bill. however there is yet to be a replacement. we spoke to people today in the house and there was a clear choice — keep affordable care or have chaos. they fear in the meantime amidst the uncertainty, insurance payments would continue to rise. there are also 20 million americans who now have insurance under obamacare who did not previously have it. the worry is what will happen to them. many have pre—existing conditions, be it multiple sclerosis, viruses, diseases, cancer, and many would not have health insurance without obamaca re. what do they do? republicans have said that they will not pull the rug from under those people, that they want to repeal the act and replace it at the same time within the first 100 days of a donald trump presidency. so far the ideas coming forward have not been able to form into a cohesive plan that republicans can back. the other big story. donald trump has a

under the u.s. constitution, after legislation is passed, if members of congress want to clarify or change executive branch regulations, they have a responsibility to address the matter in a transparent way through open regular order. republicans don't want to do that, however, because the public might find out what they are doing. this republican scheme sets a dangerous precedent by expanding the ability of the congress to use the congressional review act to disprove hundreds of carefully crafted policies at one time with very little notice or debate. republicans want to reach back to last may and cherry-pick policies they don't agree with. but how would the public know? well, that will be difficult. in many instances, republicans don't want the public to know. so i urge my colleagues to reject this power grab by the new republican congress. it's just like what they tried to do yesterday with the office of congressional ethics. these policies don't just come out of thin air. there's a long, painsta

under medicare, the 60 million americans under medicare used to have something called a doughnut hole. it was an odd invention when this bill was written into law, and it said that medicare for seniors would cover the front end of your prescription costs if they're high. then you have to take the middle part out of your savings and then late year medicare kicked back in. it was costing seniors $1,000, $2,000 a year. we eliminated it with the affordable care act, so now if you repeal that, what happens to seniors and their prescription drug costs? those are legitimate questions which need to be answered before we go blindly into repealing the affordable care act. let's work together, democrats and republicans, to make this a better law. i've said it before and i'll say it again. the only perfect law that i'm aware of was carried down a mountain by senator moses on clay tablets. the rest of the efforts that we put into this are always subject to review, amendment and improvement, and the affordable care act, i would put in that category. if there's a good-faith effort on the republican

obamacare was sold under false pretenses. the american people have paid by seeing their premiums skyrocket, their deductibles unaffordable, and their choices diminish. we are going to keep that promise. i am frankly disappointed that the democratic leader has now taken the position of obstruction when it comes to reforming a health care program that they know is flawed. less than half of the democratic caucus who voted for obamacare is still in the senate. president obama will be gone. many of the democratic senators have identified pieces of obamacare that they would like to change. former president bill clinton called it a crazy program which has caused premiums to skyrocket. the point is i hope once our colleagues get past the denial of november 8, they get over their anger and the various stages of their grief following the election that they will decide that it is in their best interests to work together to replace obamacare with coverage that you get to choose at a price people can afford. >> is there a political risk t
