Plan to under three hours and I don't know where they spend it. It's really it's to one western district in Indiana. There's been dollars in one congressional district for the governorship of West Virginia and it was down I think it's very dangerous. Well I want to congratulate ours. I hope I can actually the Senate passing by. I think it was mandatory financial future of this country but actual markets of this country. I think it was a great step in the right direction. I think you're doing a good thing I want to pay for it. Why I just I don't know not really sure where that line in order to do that without you feeling like you're pretty wretched. Yeah you're the past number of weeks. Jack's. Back to life after a great deal of reflection.
Course I was barely get any opportunity to talk to the president and I know that. President Ford is well-spoken very many members of Congress regarding the importance of it. Basically I see it as something that you simply have to do for a number of reasons and I think number one. Is the fact that if you view this tax bill. As part of the tax bill that we had last year no one will be talking to the fact that it's so large taxing increase of all this might in fact it's still. A substantial cut. In the marginal rates and a substantial lessening of the increased burden of taxes that you know. So when you look at the packages together you're still talking in terms of a dramatic step in lessening the tax for individuals number one number two. I look at the tax bill itself and there's certainly anyone who has examined it is going to tell you that approximately. Only 17 percent is really new taxes. Most of us certainly are. Closing some tax loopholes and then the taxes on
corporations that are not profitable. In other areas of course it is. Eliminating some tax avoidance schemes. And I can tell you very frankly there's another reason. Besides the deficit the looming deficit problem and some others are going to vote in favor of that. And that's a fact very frankly as you look at the otherwise deficit picture that will be coming here in the next two three four years something that. Can Get A. Nose done with dark hair and the gray hair and I think that that type of vote now is number one would be something along the lines of making sure that that doesn't continue to grow. And number two I think will preserve the main thrust. Of the tax package that we passed last year. And one of the main reasons I was thinking more originally of voting against it. Was the fact that. It would all lemonade. The pressure. Congress to make some substantial reductions in reforms and entitlements another program.
Because I felt that perhaps originally if they have the additional 100 billion dollars over three years they'd most certainly find a place to spend. But after having looking looks at the deficits that will be coming in the next two years. Even with. The tax bill that we passed Mr. Brown. The deficit the prospect of them and the natural tendency after looking at those. Prospective deficit from the fact that that should frighten members of Congress enough certainly to act responsibly in the next two or three years with regard to spending. I don't. I don't. I don't think anything's going I don't know what we're talking and that's one reason why I have. Gone on. In the hope that it's a threat. To the allies and already the retreat. Mining I understand that bill. Last night. Which last year was forecast 90 some billion dollars a day.
Forget I'm going to. Go all. You can do. Something. That I really hate being more serious like that and you're the billion dollars of new taxes in your area. Bring out some of this. So you still have a gun or it's not like we are putting all this money in the hands of the people. Who produce enormous. Coming in only. The. Lima. Several. Years real couldn't exist to do. Do we have any of that really wrong for leaving on. Their own. We know.
The only life we. Had. Was. What we. We have. Is that no matter what you do about putting money in the hands of people. As long as you have these high interest rates. You're not going to have the surgery. Well this is where you get. Your nothing. And. Your Congress is not going to be certainly not deterred by any lack of money spending. Just. Right. I think it does it all began with the garrison project at the St.. Jackson you. Know somebody. Did the same thing you know if. You don't start it it's already absorbed too much. Good. Bye. My dear. There it's right. It's
making full every month additional. Doing. How did the weather should be in my opinion and your opinion. Well thank you for your. Willingness to what are you doing. You're right exactly and with you I heard that President Ford did get a few. That's why I really can't tell you it works for the viewer.
OK. Making up
my mind there isn't much more fun for me like what you're receiving. Just a word about North Korea. The fact that you're. Not. Reading this. Rationing was never one for the money. Monday
was a busy start for your morning 10:30 last night this week. So I got on the plane coming back to the scene right after this. I fell asleep when I was doing. Yon's a bit of a pleasure for me to answer. The United States because for me it's been a great pleasure. We're sort of supporters and people of the state of New Jersey like ourselves to know that I think some people but even more than that everyone you meet a person that has a big impact on you need to do something
even worse or you know some people think. Through step by step by step taken sometimes more to the right decision. And when they do very often it's wrong. I think you need someone who has the instincts that seems to know exactly where we're going where we really want people and also to get to work with the person who is commonly known as a great coach. She's a born individual you know she's a very very you want and I know I as a Republican running for re-election in the state of New Jersey are obviously quite new for me. Very dry congressional song Leave me somebody I can tell you that's going to do so well
with any other company you know the one I want to thank you again for your help. Sir your latest today your financial support my actions obviously can't be won with just good intentions of taking money from a foreign worker. And obviously it takes outstanding candidates and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to introduce an individual that is outstanding first standing in here an outstanding legislator a fine New Jersey the next owner of the state of New Jersey because I'm sad. Did you know.
That something will come. On. And sometimes like petty I think it's those two speeches of presidents one on the other. I keep thinking
this correlates to this. I do write down to speak with so many years of experience in politics. I.
Whether or not they come to reason with us and we can sit down and get something going. How realistic do you think it is for you to go back to work. I'm still say 50 50. House opinions. My friends my wife my family they think it's all over but I still got support of my friends here I know there's 12000 of guys out here with me. I don't. Really like friends but yeah that's right I think responded that the other day. Yeah he said it's not something I ask is if the courts ordered you to go back to the armory in which I do it if I had I was ordered to call somebody doesn't because I mean you're going to have I was in court this morning and the guy. Vacated for a little while. And then said You know I can't find no can't order people back to work. George offered the job to have been from which they've been fired and he postponed it for another two and a half weeks and maybe that's something. He's going to do in that time. So.
From Oklahoma City where one of the airports you've worked at since you got out of Oklahoma City New York subversive I can't directly where. Did you get that. I get all the Air Force I was on the register I waited six months I worked a non federal control tower out in Indiana. Other. Number of males I worked there for six months.
