i know it's real because it has our nation's previous seal, a unicorn ferching ason tawr. saucy. we did receive a bit of pushback on that from the only creature perhaps more noble than a freshly felched unicorn. and the point is this. we heard from the rare gray-bearded urban laureate economist paul krugman. anyway, he wrote on his blog there he called me lazy. said there was a lack of professionalism on the part of of me and my staff. for finding privilege olity in the idea of a temporary trillion dollar coin. first of all, lazy? i'm banging it out 22 minutes a day.

the message of the obama campaign, let me go tax evil rich people and it's nothing, but unicorns andr the rest of us. that's not true. and the worst part is president obama got the tax hike he wanted. he offered no cuts then and nows' going to come back and say we've already had the cuts. there are no cuts. how do you make the case that a, i misled you on what the tax hike could accomplish and, b, we're still not going to cut. the last time we did balance was the fiscal cliff deal. all taxes no cuts. >> megyn: simon, what do you think of it? i know president obama wants to continue raising taxes on the rich. and he doesn't think that he's done yet. but americans may not buy the argument that this is just about the rich, given what we just saw happen on january 1st, with everybody taxed. >> let's see what happens. and i think that right now, jay carney laid it out. i think the president has already put a lot of spending cuts on the table. he's already accepted a trillion dollars of domestic spending cuts. i think you'll see a lot of emphasis in the next few months reducing the cost of
