welch and mr. scott and others have raised on this point, but i want to say to the american people and our constituents, we are not cutting. we are addressing common sense areas that are rife for reform and it is very important that we understand that because in the long run what's going to happen is if we don't deal with these issues, if we don't deal with the waste, fraud and abuse and if we don't deal with gaming the system and bounties and otherwise, the ultimate effect of this will be that those people legitimately receiving assistance and that nearly 80% of the benefits under the payments of this entire bill goes to snap benefits. if we don't deal with those issues in a four square way we'll bankrupt the system and so then we won't have a situation of having to deal with common sense reform. we'll have a system that goes belly up and we won't be able to have benefits for everybody and i don't think anybody wants that. i think mr. welch makes good points and so does mr. mcgovern with how we wa

welch considered him the first casualty of the cold war as he may well have been. the society attracted tens of thousands of followers around the country. but it quickly became apparent that welch was a conspiracy theorist of the first order. and because there weren't very many organizations on the right, the more liberal media leaped on the john birch society as a way to tar the emerging conservative movement as a bunch of folks much like the john birch society's founders. today, one finds folks like him among the truthers and the birthers, but in those days his bizarre theories were easily caricatured by a hostile establishment and used to tar conservatives like buckley himself as part of what the president liked to refer to as the lunatic fringe. buckley famously read the birchers out of the movement and those of us in his camp followed suit. at the time, i was a board member of the young americans for freedom which i later chaired. we passed a resolution denouncing the birchers at our national convention. they walked out. it wasn't easy at the time. but it was

do you think that jack welch is right?first of all, let me say that he has a record of increasing jobs in massachusetts when he was governor and he has a record of knowing the private sector. he has a record of running the olympics and getting it out of the ditch and making it a great olympics in utah. he has a record of performance. what people are going to be voting on when they go into that booth is the obama record. and it is abysmal. the obama record is nothing but more debt, more regulations, more taxes and now a health care bill that is going to transform for the worse the greatest health care system in the world. we're going to be taking away the doctor/patient relationship. eventually we're going to have a government system. and we're going to be like canada and great britain. those are wonderful countries, but the one thing that people don't like about the way those countries run is their health care because there's no capability to get the extraordinary care that we have in this country. and that is why obamacar

i think some of this is a response to the rupert murdoch tweet, jack welch treat, "wall street journal" op-ed, bill kristol comments, basically questioning whether the staff is up to it. now, adding staff is different than subtracting staff. no one in mitt romney's senior staff orbit is being fired or demoted. i talked to lots of people in that world yesterday and they made that very clear. i think what they are trying to do is recognizing that what you don't want to do is have this story line, this staff shakeup story line run endlessly. add a few senior people and hope that it quells it. i would say the best thing to quell it is today's jobs report. >> chris cillizza, talk to you later. thank you very much for starting us off. >>> the president called it a step in the right direction. mitt romney called it a kick in the gut. for the american people, it's just another dismal jobs report. capping the weakest economic quarter in two years. hilda solis is u.s. labor secretary and joins me now. great to see you. thank you very much. thanks for taking this on. this is not great news. tell
