Representative Brad Jones

You forgot to mention the former Red Sox Manny Ramirez is becoming a woman how high did forget to mention that but put it out in the -- news that baseball he would ask me now to ad -- he's already got the hair. Over the next fifty games will be working on the grass you combine the scare them stick to those elements -- a okay it was so wonderful program that any -- in the field I could see it now -- is very excited about free car is for welfare recipients and -- excited about it but you are here very supportive. All over it this is so this is so typical. Of what I would call a dopey journalism. The headline is that designed to -- one response and it certainly got me to respond yesterday I was such -- cans down the road and I read the deet -- of the program and found out that was started by governor Mitt Romney and look close around it. Hmm this might make some sense. Well a savvy -- politician like Brad Jones the Republican in a minority leader in the house would not get sucked in because he -- the trouble he has seen this before your scope of vision is from within the system. And you need to step back from the system a little bit. While I I'm I'm just trying to three of owning aren't justify how it's possible opry -- Iraq I appreciate it pretty commit to buy defect Brad Jones -- WRK once again how are you sir.

If they agonize so you interact with the boys what's gone on. And -- in my -- and my currently fighting a tough. Do you feel like you're a step with the times Brett yeah. How real. Currently at an eye on and it it meanwhile respond to advocate -- are off the ground. In -- you know certainly is timely and immediately cut the program so there he touted the -- the Leo. And the blind that this is one that seems like it should -- says well.

Why I don't understand why you are surprised by the so this is how Democrats work is what they do every day of the week.

Well I I will I look you know nothing surprises me. Anymore and state government but you know it just its feed -- we have an integrated utility emailed me. Are equally across the country just you know flaming air or making comments. And it just you know it's it's it is typical. An and I Tom I appreciate it is you know when money was coming over the tree and some need to do it some excessive -- need to spend the money here -- and oh Brad don't -- that slack. I'm -- the fact is now that was and what it is true if you don't have money coming in -- in under the door. And you know this is one. A lot of questions masses while other any guidelines of and so driving to and from work out of its democratic to a packed and wallet -- like well. That's ridiculous.

there are restrictions on the -- but but -- I just want to make sure I'm understanding the program and I'm I'm going off the newspaper reports. As I understand it is a dollar for dollar reduction in net cash benefit that a recipient of welfare recipient would receive. They get the -- which has been donated to the state and in the state pays for the insurance and a AAA membership which I think is absurd but the ER. But there's a dollar for dollar reduction and so in the end it's not a dime out of the taxpayer's. Pocket and it and not an additional died and any getting the person to what to employment right.

That this the end of the year at the end of the year. They eaten by their own statistics. At least 40% of the people back on welfare and it go to the track.

that's an American that -- is. Count me out on that one are you guys are being Sarah going to be -- let's give everybody -- car. I think to. Collect kind EI almost that -- are alleged that's exactly right you know without dad -- just presented a more compelling -- every cent apparently -- mattress was so you're subject to the emotional part of the argument more than the illogical I say -- wouldn't know it is very it's a very logic.

Argument that Brad May and if in fact the by the department of statistics let's say it's 20%. The car should be taken back by the state the only purpose for the county on purpose that I find acceptable disgust me. Is to get it to and from work you're going to migrate off wealthier. Get this self sustaining. Position in -- from work I'm far if it if it's a short term investment of a path into tech and a dollar for dollar reduction sign me up in a going to get to keep the cup and then go back on the full welfare benefits illiterate I would say get that that point the taxpayer as I get -- I would say I'm not into that anyway.

You have otherwise forget about there is a program that there is yes there's the well first -- the relocation program it's a one way ticket. -- That's coming later that will be the explanation for why they need a new Carter replace the old one Brad don't you see it coming down the pike. Exactly 617266. Exceeds sixty in my can molding your NW RQ a with a representative Brad Jones hi Mike. Good morning my time I start over.

got -- right there. And I want questioned the Margaret's. -- liable. Or responsible silent gets into a major factor in this -- in the -- major lawsuit is stayed on the hook.

RFI so you can and the payouts will be astronomical having insurance the insurance that's try to -- providing insurance what what happens when the insurance doesn't cover the damage and what happens in they'll be reached and to trust when it happens when he our policy doesn't coveted implement the states doesn't have to -- known to the stable and have to pay that -- Why would that netted a high will reach across -- get in front some liberal judge wholesale where the deep pockets in this story well still go to the state become familiar with the concept known as sovereign immunity -- okay you can't sue the state for. That type of situation wants is to limit they'll just tell them that you -- alleged. Stop I mean and if the -- at the jet the column makes good point you have to think these things through I'm sure the insurance policy covers. Injuries and damages that would be done by the owner IE the welfare recipient of the Kyra. -- Governor Deval Patrick he was attacked. You know I'll believe on high Sierra. Eric in Quinn zero W marquis out.

Good morning guys you're. I only ask that all practically you know listener and -- what -- think people's -- What -- is why I bought a pain. I asked why I'd bought a -- account which are why I bought a for any input data -- to is that when they can get a recap our out of these people ally.

Eric you're failing to understand what the Democrats are up to this it's only the beginning of central place at all now. Surely don't get to you -- judge ruled out in the legislature when he's the Iraq as a member are as -- a legislative -- When Democrats led with the help of Republicans the -- of help and bill weld signed it. Very -- wealthy every fall.

And it's -- right there are copying you not you. Use -- but how can you up French well he's got. Caught I'll meet each one and nineteen cents -- out. You wanna raid deep in the mail -- Any key and --

You just Fed up just go ahead Brad decision batting practice -- A lot of I don't know if my current my friend they do what -- what I said Howard voted I'm with the on the gas back in -- bill that that's exactly why. -- exactly why. In this economy or even a better economy yet reaching into the taxpayer Kol paired rapists practices say hey we need some -- but things like this little.

Brad since you walk around in the in the building and somehow I have an immunity to the disease are you able to observe it in such a way. They you can explain how it is. That these wackos. Think that they should be raising taxes because these are desperate times billions of dollars in deficits we need to revenue streams and by the way they're increasing this budget can you explain that.

I think it's because he's spent too much time walking around simply in the building and not enough time walking around outside the building and cracked and people. And why and then reading the newspaper and an endlessly canoes and listen to radio just -- you grow still. And it just got my local paper -- to make false foreclosure sales in you know my come out. That are coming up. They're so little thing that's it reading a local little newspaper about the story that type of things that -- time. Deployments and doesn't -- demand on the food pantry. Well but it doesn't take you know much to research just a few little -- indicators. The types -- called my office yet. From the district of phase reasonably affluent for call for help. You know you'd you'd get sick calls then in six months for the -- that you didn't get called over you know all the traffic years. That's all anecdotal note that people were caught a lot of people who need help but don't reach out sure. That are hurting and and and and and the need to be able to kinda green and in extrapolate say they're they're the problem.

It's a very interesting about the compassion the Democrats claim they feel great compassion for. Public advocacy groups that are protesting on the on the steps of the of the Statehouse but. For -- they don't seem to have compassion jerking -- your regular working full court trying to make ends meet and they are paying taxes to help people are working.

Let me read a question though Brett Brett do you want to take you leadership team offered some complimentary remarks. Two. Not to the ways and means budget put up by representative -- telegraph there were no gimmicks as accurate at least that I could find accounting gimmicks. He did not depend upon the rainy day fund he offered no tax increases was a pretty stark budget. And you folks I as I say offered some I think grudging praise since then it looks as if in numbers have dropped the revenue numbers have dropped by about a billion. Dollars. How did not have significant layoffs in the amount to mental retardation mental health. Teaches cops firefighters I mean that's inevitable as a not.

eat your ultimately going to have to have layoffs are the mark my points so atomic. You know weeks said a year ago. -- bit things we're going to be bad I would say we'd say there was going to be bad of the act. But in my opinion is the administration has been it police at least on interstate eight step -- Behind -- they should be taking action the last section would take you now you know -- out yesterday. Another draw are almost 500 million to half a million dollars in the -- You know we're gonna we're gonna use stimulus money that we hoped to be able to use -- FY eleven. To get through to get through the remainder of this year. That means what we've done -- we it would throw some money we're going to drive a little further up the mountains so the clip we -- Going forward going to be that much steeper. And it's it's very very.

Another want to -- give you credit the warning flags have been out did no question about what he's going to do about the health care reform. That that everybody was pat themselves on the back about include Mitt Romney I --

I think one of the questions needs to be. You know -- do you look at suspending. You know prescription coverage is as apportioned out to drive down rates. You know one of the things that you -- an incident back in the Romney people now you know the current administration has made some. To stay -- decisions which has helped drive up the cost. That decisions that weren't necessarily envision having been made by you know if it Romney's people were still error or control -- what you work output coming out. An and obviously it's gonna be increased demand with the economy. You go now. If you know in and you know we we promoted dvds want to apple what one thing we -- the budget we obviously have fat mass self. And you know fifteen devastated basically sit and look similar program that forced everybody to manage here. We sold about 50% of that people who are in managed care either ignorant -- carefully acclamation. What are Secret Service. Is that a report out you know vice incredible people. That day that if you forced everybody to managed care paradigm model. You would save up to a billion dollars -- while. While that's a lot and we offered that we got a -- amendments and let's direct and then let's have them report to -- with anybody they don't shift housewives. Less expensive not have a minute managed care program now I've -- defeated but we could -- democratic support because it even the chair of the health -- it. He thought this is what we should be doing this would save money. That was a reasonable. Constructive reform -- for during the budget and it would reject.

It was -- armed Brad Jones house minority leader if anything -- reminds us elections matter. We're going to keep talking about this coming up Thomas -- 680 WRKO.
