host: rutledge, vt., on the republican line. caller: hello. i wanted to ask a question about the health-care system that you're proposing for the state. there's lots of talk about how much it will cost, a lot of talk about the fact of vermont is one of the help the states in the union and that is one of the most taxed state in the union. how will we pay for this? i have heard anything from 5% have an 11% peril taxes -- 5%- 11% payroll taxes. guest: if you think i am not paying a health-care tax, i did not know how you're looking at the economics of this. i have a small business, 18-20 employees. and this is how it works in vermont. we have three insurance companies. you get your bill. dear bill goes up anywhere between 12%-30% in one year. it is a costa cannot control. do you call the other providers and say, "i just got my bill from blue cross and it is up 30%. what are you doing? they say they are doing that. the next year, your bill comes 15%, 30%. we all look from the triangle and there is not a sustainable rate for anyone who is paying. i

host could talk about the cut vt cap balance vote. it's a re tpublican-led effort n the house. do you think any democrats willt vote for it?ocrats wl >> guest: i can't imagine that they will and frankly i think it very, very bad policy. some of the measures that are in this bill already exist in california. for example, it only takes a majority vote to cut taxes in california, two-thirds vote to raise revenue. everybody every year watches the impact that happens in california where the government gets to the point of shutting down because we are not able to raise revenue. if our hands are tied in california, why in the world would i want our hands to be tied across the country? the cap i think is bad news. if you were to cap spending at 18%, the last time we spent 18% was in 1966. so when you have a crisis like a recession, if you have a cap on spending, how do you raise unemployment when you have large numbers of people that are unemployed? i think it is very unwise and does not have a thing to do with raising the debt ceiling. it is going to be debated, it should be debated c
