deal with the sequesters we would not let this get away from us. we shouldn't this time. for mr. obama to suggest i've cut a trillion in spending because he saved money on the wars in afghanistan is gimmicks. they a work. >> i have to be honest, it's both sides. it strikes me these lawmakers on either side don't have a real fix to what we're looking at, the national debt, screaming out of control. we're going to exceed that limit on monday night. >> i wouldn't disagree but look at the facts. we did have a republican controlled congress that passed a bill. if reid didn't like the bill, let it go for debate. let his senate vote it down and say no, we're not going to accept these conditions. >> let me ask you this, then. interesting question. president obama gets his own deal, sends it over to the republicans, they have the same dilemma. >> well, they may. but i think you would at least see a fair dee beat. look, i think the average american realizes we have to cut spending. you know the numbers. >> craig, i have to ask you -- i have to stop you. i don't think they do. we ran a package ye

indianapolis. we had a situation near our live shot a semi truck got stuck next to us. this is what we're dealing with now in the area, just so much snowfall and it was so bad during the day they couldn't get any of it out. right now the roads still dangerous in this area and we'll see a lot of clean up in the indianapolis area. >> thank you very much. >>> the storm now barreling towards the northeast to maria in the fox news weather center with the latest. jill pointed something important out. on the backside of that storm, cold weather behind it. >> we have temperatures right now in the single digits and teens across the midwest, minnesota and dakotas so temperatures are cold, even in areas where we're not experiencing winter weather but the storm has everything. it has severe weather, reports of tornadoes and unfortunately that -- a lot occurred across areas in the south on christmas day. people had their homes damaged and we have reports of many injuries and fatalities from the same storm system headed northeast. many messages you just saw out of indiana are what you'll see in penn
. you don't get us off this cliff we will. they proposing a backup plan canceling tax increases due to hit in two weeks on everyone earning less than $1 million and the speaker boehner says he is raising even more revenue than he first proposed putting it now on the president would has to come up with spending cuts. fast. welcome, everyone, i am neil cavuto. they are get close but still in deal. republicans want to make clear that if they don't get a deal it ain't or fault. they hiked taxes more than they wanted waiting for democrats they say who have not delivered any spending cuts they promised. no word on that. to capitol hill senior producer on how all of this is going down. that is the latest? >>reporter: we are told in the past couple of minutes that an official tells ed henry it is worst in the past 24 hours. they felt they took a step back because of plan (b) that speaker boehner is proposing to the conference meeting in closed conference in less than an hour, for show them what the plan is. we understand they will have two votes, probably thursday, one would renew all so-ca
the victims, they will put them on tv and say you got to give us the hundred and that brings me to a second point. if we are going to give, it will probably be well over $50 billion, why not have a policy when we have a crisis like this, and a natural emergency, cut other government programs c do we always have this unlimited credit card to increase the amount of the debt? that is why it gets to the point where geithner's proposal to wipe away the debt ceiling altogether is such a dangerous idea. it is like giving congress unlimited credit card where they can borrow for anything they want to spend money on. >>neil: i asked pennsylvania congressman after sandy, and said we n $12 billion to fema's budget, add it right now, and his part was speaking but i don't think his head was. >>guest: not compared to what happened with katrina. even to this day there are areas of new orleans that have not been cleaned up and $140 billion is a lost money but this is half of that but sandy was half the storm of katrina. i have skepticism this will help the people that we, you have shown on the show, the peo
