Representative Earl Blumenauer talked about ongoing budget and debt negotiations and proposed plans, and he responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. He also discussed possible cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and the Defense Department budget. Among his comments he said that going back to pre-2001 tax levels is not a sacrifice, and called the current negotiations over raising the debt ceiling “a high stakes game of chicken that could have implications for the global economy.”

C-SPAN Radio’s Nancy Calo read news headlines at the end of the program. close
