$35,000, nor can joe walsh's deadbeat dad lawyer explain why joe walsh's campaign fund has paid him14,000 for the loan while joe walsh hasn't paid the several years of child support he owes the mother of his first three children. nor can joe walsh's deadbeat dad lawyer explain how the impoverished joe walsh was able to take vacations with his girlfriend in 2004 to mexico and italy while refusing to pay child support. in a court filing in december of last year, laura walsh's attorneys wrote, "the apparent availability of large sums of money from either his employment, his family, or his campaign, has allowed him to live quite a comfortable lifestyle, while at the same time, due to his failure to pay child support or any of his share of the educational costs or medical expenses, laura and his children were denied any of these advantages." it is time to deny deadbeat dad, joe walsh, some advantages. in order to teach deadbeat dad, joe walsh, a lesson about family values, yes, the very same family values that so many republicans try to exploit politically while failing to come close to

joe walsh doesn't believe it will happen.t not anywhere or on or near tuesday. >> we are so obsessed with august 2nd. i think what's important is that we get this right. the administration has been trying to scare folks into this notion of default. >> you're okay with a potential default on august 2nd? you would let that date pass? >> default is not an option. the administration knows more people in your profession should know that. we've got plenty of government revenues in the month of august to service our debt. default isn't even on the table. i'm not obsessed with august 2nd. truthfully. >> joe walsh is not so obsessed with august 2nd. earlier tonight he was one of 22 republicans who voted against the republican's own debt ceiling bill. part of the reason joe walsh might think nothing happens when you don't meet your financial obligations is when it comes to child support, it appears he hasn't met those obligations for quite some time. so far nothing has happened. in 2008, when joe walsh stopped paying his mortgage, the

court documents accuse walsh of oeg more than $117,000.nowledges that he owes child support but he disputes the amount. and he defends himself by saying he's just like all the other deadbeat dads out there. >> i know that story just broke. it's interesting that it just broke right now as i'm out there trying my best to fight this president and fight the democrats and sol of this debt crisis. but, look, i'm the most openly vetted candidate in the world. i've had financial troubles. i talked about them throughout the campaign. this is where real america is. >> so walsh thinks real america doesn't pay child support. and, therefore, it's okay if he doesn't either. walsh leaving his ex-wife high and dry with three kids is terribly inexcusable. he said he is just doing what real america does is deadbeat psycho talk. the american people want jobs. not fights over the debt ceiling. there's a way to get jobs back in america and i'm going to tell you how it's going to all happen coming up.

walsh's considered contribution to the debate. he won't even vote for speaker boehner's plan. >> well, you see the exactly the dilemma we are facing which is a core of hard right tea party members in the house of representatives who don't think it is a problem if the united states doesn't pay the bills and every american family has to pay the mortgage and make the car payment and get up one day and say i'm not making the payments anymore, but that is what they are proposing but the single exception is that we will pay china and the bondholders, but it is okay not to pay the troops and not the pay social security and anything that is not in the form of a treasury bond obligation, they are willing to write off, and say, you are on your own. we think that is reckless and we also think that is in itself jack up interest rates and cost americans much more through their purchases of all of the goods and services throughout the economy when you have interest rates going up. >> mr. van hollen we understand that the white house has issued

congressman walsh, let me start with you. what if congress doesn't act by august 2nd? >> chris, i'm not obsessed with august 2nd. we're obsessed with getting this right. we met with standard & poor's yesterday and they walked us through various scenarios. they made a couple of things very clear. they may downgrade our credit rating even if we raise the debt ceiling. what they told us -- >> well, the chances would certainly increase, wouldn't it, congressman, if this doesn't get done? >> what they told us for certain was if we raise the debt ceiling without real fundamental structural spending reform, serious reform, we still risk having our credit rating downgraded. so we have to make sure we do this right, whether it's august 2 pd, 3rd, we all want to get this done as soon as we can. but clearly what we heard yesterday was we have to do this right. >> congressman welch, what would doing it right be? these reports we heard about there would be some delay about closing some of these tax loopholes, that entitlements are on the line, potentially the mortgage tax credit co

we had joe walsh on and he responded just as fierce.h, they're really going at it. who would have thought that we'd hear about hobbits from lord of the rings. but john mccain reference that had yesterday. let's step back. he was on the senate floor yesterday basically blasting democrats and bom saying the president was leading from behind, his words, not mine. he also blasted some of his republicans saying that it's foolish to think that a balanced budget will be passed in the next few days before the debt ceiling deadline. and then the senator took on the tea party. he read from a "wall street journal," quoted from a "wall street journal" op-ed. take a listen at this. >> republican house failed to raise the debt ceiling would somehow escape all the blame. and then democrats would have no choice but to pass a balanced budget amendment and reform entitlements and the tea party hobbits could return to middle earth having defeated morador. this is the kind of crack political thinking that turns sharon engel and christine o'donnell into not

those who think the tea party republicans should hold their ground is freshman representative joe walsh and he joins me now from capitol hill. thank you very much for joining us. are you really prepared to risk the country going into default over this? >> no. no one wants to risk default. nobody up here in this town wants to do that, jane. we just want to make sure we get this right, that we get the solution right. we met with a couple of the credit agencies last week and they were pretty clear, they told us even if we raised the debt ceiling and we don't enact real spending reform, our credit rating will probably still go down. we want to try to avoid that. >> but if you're not willing to compromise or negotiate, how are you going to reach an agreement? >> well, your house republicans passed a plan last week called cut, cap and balance, that i would argue is a compromise. a number of us freshmen ran on the platform that we would never raise the debt ceiling. we voted last week to raise the debt ceiling and all we wanted in exchange for that was real spending cuts, real spending caps, a

. >> so congressman walsh doesn't sound too wired. maybe he hasn't read the new reports, say, from credit suisse which says if the u.s. eventually defaults on its payments stocks could fall 30% in the next year and the economy could contract 5% over the same period and every month that there's a stalemate, 1% comes off the u.s. gross domestic product, the gdp. happy friday. on the upside third quarter say there's less than a 1% chance that the default scenario actually happens. but what if it does happen? the president has suggested that the august social security checks might not go out. not everyone agrees that those checks are hangs in the balance however. cnn money points out that social security has an enormous trust fund and that the social security act requires the fund and payroll tacks be used to pay those benefits. medicare and medicaid represent another bill. they have to pay out several billion dollars for those programs next week and they represent some of the biggest payments. and a debt default doomsday could mean stude

cut, cap and balance met the credit agency's criteria to avoid a downgrade. >> congressman joe walsh, sticking around for us tonight. >>> a lot to talk about still. we're going to be live in the 11:00 hour to continue with this breaking news. no vote tonight, a very tense night on capitol hill. and at the white house.
