And continue -- the economy element that's basically what to Republican Fed Chairman said yesterday testified before congress.

You know it's not very difficult time coming out this recession and it is a different -- and 19969.

-- and I were more like 1997.

Now he's 61 -- the economy was but do different kind of war all that and present is getting what they would do things were not in that that -- doesn't exist today -- just coming out of worst recession have.

-- very estimated that -- jobs at the numbers are -- about a some some -- -- -- -- more numbers are better than not good but I'm I'm not very -- now like his recovery that much is asked why do you -- look at -- Dixiecrat -- rally as some of carbon sequestration -- caught the macroeconomic advisors Goldman Sachs -- could have taken -- -- quite often -- -- why are we doing that now I mean it doesn't make any sense cannot talk about this who lost an earlier I mean the president's front and out there and I know you're a Democrat in there and your friends -- -- dead fish and what Colin and you guys probably still on your morning coffee calls and just drill called.

But the point is.

We're really talk about cutting 44 billion.

We have sixteen and a trillion dollars in debt six trillion of which came from Obama -- -- to help me out of we have three point eight trillion dollars -- -- -- we can't cut 44 million levs here in the.

But -- yeah.

It's -- -- how about I have anything to -- that -- as -- thought no no now -- we should we can't have a lot -- I'm probably get out of to health care -- numbers are looking good.

Right now -- we just we we have to try to keep -- keep to the extent that we have a recovery keeping on.

And I get a get a private the best private forecasters macroeconomic -- out of Saint Louis -- wouldn't.

Both say he's got to take a half a percent offered GDP we don't have about half a percent to give right now can't let me.

-- -- when there was a report that came out this week on health care it's gonna add over a long period of time six point two trillion.

Dollars -- -- are you suggesting we don't you think it's immoral to put this debt.

On our kids yeah -- get far more run and we're at right now we have 75% of GDP do we get an -- The good in those years if that health care costs in the last three years you've really started to flatten if that -- -- to continue.

We don't know that it we know we're not certain but if that were to continue that would be the best news possible for our children off a -- guys just.

You know do you notice as well as odd bit of weight or what would billion dollar natural gas coming -- -- got a cheap source energy Galloway good news -- -- -- -- this President -- didn't cheaper energy only on private -- because as it opened up public lands and then it was around the -- last week that -- Wear them out of the middle east of -- oil and energy got to go out back and you know what right now we're at right now.

You know we continue NFL I don't know if that's gonna go to and -- -- and I think things -- starting to look a little about a high grade and I'm looking about a look for for a certain market people -- Boston.

The payroll tax cut that was putting and that that was that temporarily.

And and it just costs a bank I still think it's Dicey after after they get to god that was before but it's not where they should be -- -- -- a whole -- about the middle -- -- -- -- -- -- last.
