his budget which failed 97-0, back in february, and his deficit reduction speech at george washington universitydoes it seem as though the president has, in fact, move moved to the other side? >>chris: a lot rhetorically and i will tell you there are some democrats who feel he has moved too far. when they heard of this possibility of a deal they howled. first they howled that the president is contemplating big changes, reforms, and, yes, cuts to the benefits if social security, and medicare and medicaid, and they think this would make it harder for them to run for re-election next year demonizing the republicans as wanting to take away all the entitlement benefits. and there is a question of timing. in the previous deal that fell apart when boehner walked away the tax officers were beginning to come right away and some of the spending cuts would not come for a while and republicans say that is always how it is but if this deal the spending cuts come first and the tax reform next. democrats are worried we will get the spenting cuts but are we sure the republicans will make good on the revenue inc

that was done in april at george washington university. the president has been up front what he wants. he wants to no longer extend the bush tax cuts and let them lapse. that is adding to our debt. that is something we need to address. we have an issue of rich people are not rich enough problem in the country. we have a middle class that is shrinking. poor people are no longer working. if we go with the boehner plan, we will fight about this in the next six months. they are stopping us from moving forward as a nation. >> ron, go ahead. >> i think tara is absolutely right. >> say that again? >> she is absolutely right. lost in the discussion, it is all about jobs. the democrats are focused on politics. they are not focusing on jobs. the president said his stimulus plan would take unemployment beneath 8%. when you look at the projections of what would happen with no stimulus plan, they said it would be at 7.4%. it is at 9.4%. i worked on capitol hill for nine years. i worked for the budget chairman committee in the last budget. president oba

they said he said a plan was given at a speech at george washington university. they said they don't score a speech. the white house says they have some sort of outline, i'm not sure what that is. in the house, with speaker boehner, he says he does have a plan but he has two problems. he was apparently overly optimistic about the cuts. that's a big problem. number two, he has 90 something new freshmen republicans who don't want to go along with him unless there's a balanced budget amendment in it. he has a rob lem internal lip. not -- he has a problem internally, so now what? >> he's got a problem internally because he didn't have to reinvent any wheel here. i do respect speaker boehner's effort trying to negotiate with joel low as he characterizes negotiating with president obama. the internal problem he has is reventing the wheel in the 11th hour when we had cut, cap and balance that passed the house. we don't need to retreat and wave the white flag because the senate is saying they won't allow a vote on cut, cap and balance. now we have to think up another pla

at george washington university the president put on a table a plan that did over $4 trillion in savings over a 12-year period, cuts orn the domestic discretionary but also recognizing that we have to deal with the defense side of the equation. we had a hearing in the budget committee yesterday which was somewhat promising because on a bipartisan basis people recognized there are savings to be made on the pentagon side of the equation. so tough decisions will be made. we have offered ways to strengthen medicare, for example, by giving medicare the same kind of bargaining rights that the veterans administration has when it comes to prescription drugs, things like that. >> had when it comes to this tax deal, it seems the idea of, quote, raising revenue woo come under the guise of lowering tax rates but eliminating some deductions and potentially popular ones, maybe lowering the percentage of deductions when it comes to charitable giving, lowering the amount you can deduct on a home. is that going to be -- will you be comfortable with something like that, that while it will lower rates to a

researchers at the george washington university school of business are suggesting the fha loan limitshould be rolled back even further. >> so you need to come up with that extra 104 out of your pocket or you would need to have a jumbo loan, and that would be more expensive. >> jumbo loans are not attractive to most homebuyers. >> the interest rate is higher, but also it's more difficult to qualify because there are fewer lenders that are providing loans of that size. >> the concern is by reducing the conforming loan limits, thousands of californian homebuyers will be shut out of home ownership unless they can come up with a higher down payment. >> people don't have it. incomes have dropped. there's so much unemployment. >> industry experts say lowering the lone limits could affect home values and our economic recovery. >> what we are seeing are closed doors up and down the neighborhood. >> but not everyone agrees. russell is a business owner in burlingame. >> i don't think it's going to have a huge effect only because the area we are in, the real estate prices are high enough where th
