To emulating the success. we have chatted about this, things government can do right and those it cant, those involving detroit directors working in concert for the same cause and those that do not, and i guess we could respectfully disagree as to whether nasa works and so many others have not, my fear, though, we would not have had the same liberty then if we were dealing with the same debt we were today and, yet, you are now compounding it by arguing for more spending. >> the whole discussion ...

Games on how they are going to deal with the question of tax cuts across the board but they are really attacking the stimulus part of the presidents offer. >> well, you and i both know the best way to grow is from the middle out,ç not from the top down. the best way to get this economy going is to get some jobs out there for some people and thats in infrastructure, education, job restraining. weve got to get people back to work. then, when theyve got the money, they can go out and start buying...

Now that if we agreed to revenue, lets talk about the balanced approach and the two and a half times the spending cuts. the president wont talk about that. in geithners proposal, he offers a new stimulus program where hes now spending even more money than what he can -- martha: you know, both sides are pretty well staked out here. the question is, whats going to happen? are you all going to find a way to, you know, sort of come forward a little bit? perhaps you might say, well, you know, well ra...

Theres evidence of job growth and expansion there. but i should point out the survey that looked for any signs of recovery has just identified those three cities as the only ones in the entire country which are experiencing a measurable comeback from the so-called great depression. so knoxville, dallas and pittsburgh are in a very small club. looking deeply at the numbers, we see knoxville informed in infrastructure -- invested in infrastructure, often spending money from the government through ...

Not growing. >> those are two different pointings. >> not at all. it was part of the stimulus plan. >> they pointed out something. shes right. 12 million jobs no matter what. and governor romney -- >> and you are talking about an entirely different issue. >> not at all. >> it was part of the stimulus plan, rick, quickly though. >> it is not the same as time as 1.9 million per job. ty are long-term changes. >> that exactly the same. it was a stimulus program and they claimed they were going to la...

This is part of his closing argument for the presidency. he delivered the speech at a company called kinsler construction services. mr. romney argued that president obamas stimulus had failed to help private companies. >> a new stimulus three years after the recession officially ended, that may spare government, but it wont stimulate the private sector than it did four years ago. >> thats what mitt romney said today at kinsler construction services in ames, iowa. you know that blissful moment wa...

Me are job creators and dont like having a bulls eye painted on our back and the president has tried to put himself between me and my employees. >> how? >> by class warfare and calling a group, billionaires and millionaires that dont give their share. i gave 120% of my salary and bonus away to charities as i do most years. i cant stand the idea of being demagogued, thats put down by a president who hasnt created any jobs and doesnt understand how the economy works. >> mike: what do you add to th...

You are completely opposed to the stimulus, but you applied for money under the stimulus program. >> how about this, andy. you took my money. you threw it up in the air and i wanted to grab a little bit of it. >> i guess that is always the decent answer. that was bidens most effective attack. >> that doesnt work. not only did he ask for money, and according to joe, and joe doesnt lie, in the e-mail ryan said this will create jobs and stimulate the economy. >> he needed to specify. >> he needed t...

But free for the telling by mr. romney is that as the u.s. unemployment rate hit 9.5% in june 2009 and a shocked public was looking for a response, the new president introduced the affordable care act for the next few months. when mr. obama signed the law into march in 2010, the unemployment rate was 9.8%. if an opponent wanted to describe this in partisan terms, he might say that the president signed an entitlement dream while the economy burned. >> i think theres a certain spin on it. i think ...

As we clearly know. so far, though, we havent seen any real benefit from the stimulus program, for example, to boost jobs. yet the president says give me more time. just stay the course. how do you think thats going to impact voters going forward? >> im going to disagree with you there because i think most economists would agree the stimulus did create or save a ton of jobs. i will also say on anniversary of the collapse of leapen brothers, four years ago, the market was in free fall. peopler pa...
