look at judd gregg from new hampshire. he stepped down as a senator and has now been hired by goldman sachs and they're giving him a lot of money and they are taking a thousand jobs from our economy and moving them overseas. he helped to write the bill that gave goldman sachs millions of dollars and now they are rewarding him. we are not seeing what they are really doing. i had my fingers crossed that the commission would have some reasonable, moderate individuals on there because our country was once run by moderates individuals. republicans and democrats both. host: is the obama white house planning an october surprise for next year to give the president's reelection campaign a boost? right below that is this item. and in "the hill" -- deirdre tweets -- cincinnati, ronald on our independent line. can or should washington do more to help the economy? caller: yes, they should. don't you think it's about time to put money back into the country by getting jobs for people? host: how would you like to see that happen? caller:

senator gregg was just a key member of the commission. it is no doubt by far the big structural issue in the united states is our fiscal deficit. it is a formidable issue. coming back to the bowl since then deficit commission, i think what they show to the rest of the world is what a lot of the markets already understand. we are such a rich country and such a big economy that if we act soon and there is a shared sacrifice, we can solve the problem by exporting the sacrifice brought different segments of our country's social upper passed to sacrifice too much. the longer we wait, obviously, the more difficult it will be. what do we have to do to get our fiscal house in order? i think it comes down to -- we need to grow. when we go about it, we have to reform entitlements. we have to reform a tax system. we have to reform a tax system so it gives us the revenues we need and give us growth. i start off by saying, despite all the criticism and how poorly the government performed and all of that, i think the criticism is deserving. let me tell

senator judd gregg. [applause] >> the first question to each speaker comes in the previous secretary. last week we welcome robert rice to have the following questions ch.-- robert reischau >> you get to pose a question to our next speaker and the next speaker -- maybe this is a site with your next question -- but our next speaker is your dartmouth classmate and former treasury secretary henry paulson when. is sitting in that chair, what would you like him to answer? [laughter] >> i have two related questions. why in the wall street bailout did you got condition those funds on wall street doing several things it needed to do, the delay with regard to mortgage mitigation and making money available to main street through small regional banks? also, putting some constraints on lobbying by wall street firms, particularly during the time congress was trying to reform the financial system? [applause] secondly, after you explain all of that -- [laughter] i would like you to tell us whether the social benefits of

i do -- with senator gregg because he knows more about it. if one of the lessons i learned in washington is it is almost impossible to get something big and difficult and controversial gun without a crisis. twice we got congress to act, and they did it before the system collapsed, but it took a crisis. and even if the vast majority of members of congress, in my judgment, understood the deficit and were determined to disarm the about it, it would still be an ugly process to get there. it would take time and be an ugly process. i will get to the tea party. i get all of my republican friends and democrat friends -- mainly democrats -- asking about the tea party and trying to put me on the spot. i start off by saying -- you know what? the tea party did not come on to capitol hill with guns and take over by force. they were elected. elections have consequences and voters from both parties respond to the people who voted for them. and there were a lot of people came in the last election, the voters wanted them to come in and change government. and
