you give us a little nugget. peter: the europeans will run the printing press to keep the committee going, the chinese have lots of tools to avoid the kind of bubble burt we had. and we may well get through this. right now we are forecasting for slower growth, and not a recession. juliet: peter, merry christmas and have a wonderful holiday. stopped at the gate for having a cup can cake. the t.s.a. called it a security threat, rather, a it should be a security treat. and the human christmas tree: well, got to do it somehow, one man s mission to save christmas. this is awesome, coming up.
that americans for tax reform pledge. witness you have that, there is no movement. democrats want taxes. guest: we certainly want to increase taxes on people who can afford it. like during the kennedy era when america was at its most sotsful and wealthy paid people more taxes. here is the problem, there is a lot of infighting, the super committee, the debt ceiling and the americans don t have anything to show. we have a policy right now, talking about a tank of gas, we cannot pay for this. and there is no plan on the table to pay for this. americans particularly independents, and conservatives, want to see, listen, we want to see the tax cuts and we want do see the reduces government spending and to be able to pay for the programs. juliet: we talked how this would affect john boehner, the speaker, will he emerge unscathed?
