welch co-sponsored bill to cut wastefulassethe house. legislation co-sponsored by congressman peter welch of vermont to eliminate wasteful federal spending passed the u.s. house today by bipartisan vote 254-173. the bill grants the president a form of line-item veto authority on spending bills that passes constitutional muster. and previous attempts to enact executive line-item veto authority have been struck down by the supreme court as unconstitutional. well, first of all, what -- why do you want to do this? why do you think a line-item veto-type mechanism will be helpful? >> well, first of all, this is a line-item veto where the president can say, cancel out the bridge to nowhere. but then, congress has the opportunity to vote to approve it by a majority vote. not two-thirds. so congress will have the final say, the power of the purse that it is granted in the constitution. the reason i want it, is because it does allow the president to scrub the budget, identify speak things that he determines or she determines are wasteful, but then

congressman welch, let's go to the most horrifying. they are killing people in syria. there was obviously effort at the u.n. russia and china did not want to participate. we know the narrative over the weekend. we're seeing russia selling more weapons to the syrian government. we know there's an economic relationship between iran, syria, russia, and china. not that it's an evil conspiracy, by the way. we have one with saudi arabia. other people have them with other parts of the area. that's a relationship set. how do we help that man on that youtube video not get killed? >> i wish i had an answer. the military is coming in with tanks in the neighborhood. it would be like going into a small town in the u.s. and literally unloading this canon fire into homes where women, children, and men were. what's our ability to stop that? militarily, it doesn't seem as though there's a viable option. obviously, the administration is doing everything it can diplomatically and through the u.n. the arab league supports the efforts we're making and condemning assad. at the end of the da

jack welch is the former ceo and the founder of the jack welch institute. suzy welch also joins us.alk slowly through tax plans because sometimes i think talking about tax plans on television is really, really hard and really, really confusing. but let's say you're a ceo and you hear the obama plan and you hear the mitt romney plan where essentially it sounds fairly close dropping from 35% to 25%. in one case 35% to 28 percent perfection. what's the real difference in those plans? >> look, soledad, they're both directionally correct. we've got to get the corporate tax rate more competitive on a global scale. these are moves in the right direction. i don't want to get in the weeds as to which particular one is better than the other. they're both directionally correct. >> but when i look at the corporate tax rates around the world, we have a little graphic of this, i'll throw it up. >> we say united states is at 35%, france is at 34%, belgium at 33%, spain at 30%, japan at 30%, mexico at 30%. it sounds like we're kind of competitive, right? >> well, i think we would be a lot better of

welch: thank you. the chair: the gentleman from vermont is recognized for three minutes. mr. welch: thank you. there's two constitutional principles, there's one practical problem, and there's one democratic ideal. the most important constitutional principle is the power of the purse that must be retained by congress. no one could give a better affirmation of why that's important than the chairman of the appropriations committee except for the author of the federalist paper that the gentleman quoted. does this violate congress' power of the purse? it reserves to the congress the right to overturn by majority vote a recommendation by the executive that focuses on a single item of spending. now, that may make life somewhat more difficult for those of us in congress. it may make it particularly more difficult for the appropriators who will have to deal with the incredible complexities of a large and multifaceted federal budget, but mind you it does not in any way violate the constitutional right that this

welch from vermont. >> i just have a short statement. you know, i find this extremely discouraging. mr. gensler's rate if you want us to abide by the rules to make a passionate statement, but you know, this institution from congress and the house and senate is seen rightly by americans is totally dysfunctional and where in the process of proving a point. there is a fundamental difference between deliberation and distract the delay. that's my view and it's the american people's view. the rule is we work on the house, those are designed by senators and house members. they don't get elevated to the level of constitutional rights. they are rules that often times they're the interest of the majority party in both bodies. the problem we are having here is democrats can't work with republicans and either body. the senate i believe is seen as having a series of procedures that have one purpose and that is to delay and not get to an answer to move forward on business that america needs to be done. it is an astonishing spec to call what we're doing in this congress and refusing to do the peop

there's also other types of cooperatives, producer co-ops, welch's or farmer's natural. housing co-ops where consumers own the co-op and finally worker co-ops where workers own the business. it depends on what people's interests are, the type of co-op they want to join. >> what questions should you be asking? >> i actually have a question about, what about freelancers and service-oriented people? can they create co-ops? i feel like there's a rumbling of collectives popping up that act like co-ops but might not know it. what about independent people who are marketers, accountants, lawyers, can they rally together to get a cheaper share of voice out there so they're not the little guy fighting the big guy? >> that's a really good question. i've formed an affiliation with a group called -- it's a cooperative consultants. people scattered throughout the country but we share resources, website and other information. there's also a group called the freelancers union. it's not a cooperative but cooperative spirit in that they're working together to give health care benefits to
