where governor romney identified big bird because the best he could come up with in terms of a cut was pbs, which i guess makes the point. >> michael, it's a lot worse than that. because you may recall that president obama through the affordable care act generated $700 billion over ten years of savings in medicare. did mitt romney and paul ryan say that's exactly what we mean when we talk about stabilizing the entitlements or reforming the entitlements? no. they attacked him for those cuts and said we'll put them back in. so the hypocrisy is very deep. bob is absolutely right. this is a little economicy, but do this thought experiment. suppose you found an honest republican, and there are some, and you said we can balance the budget if we collect 25% of gdp in revenue and spend 25% of gdp in outlays. those balance 0u9 but those percentages are considerably higher than what we usually spe spend. they would run from you in horror. they're not interested in balancing the budget. they're interested in shrinking the government. however, when it comes to plans, krugman is partially right. there

in is sort of tea leaf reading off an interview from a local nevada media outlet, the pbs station in las vegas. let's take a listen. >> we need to do is change the filibuster. we have things that are so stupid. if i want to get on a bill, i have to file -- lyndon johnson filed it once in his six years. i filed it 390 some odd times. so we've got to change that. if you invoke that on a piece of legislation, people get 30 hours to sit around and do nothing. i want to get rid of that. i think we should not have the 30-hours post. and i think that we have to make sure that on a regular piece of legislation, if somebody wants to continue objecting to it after it's been invoked they should have to stand and talk. there should be a talking filibuster. >> okay. so there's -- can you explain this 30-hour thing? i think that -- in the grand scheme of things is the most egregious which is, you know, filibustering the motion to proceed and then, there's this weird kind of period after you filibuster with motion to proceed where it's mandated no one can do anything? >> well, there are two familia
