party, but both parties show towards the gap, the unemployment rate, the jobs deficit, the disconnect between the issue in the country and the response in washington? >> you know, i probably should be shocked, but i'm a little bit inured to it. it's been going on for such a long time. i think what you have to conclude is that there are far too many policy makers up here who really, a, don't think that much, about the problems that you just outlined. i mean, you've just shown, i think, pretty compelling evidence that the kind of rising star of the republican party really doesn't have much going on in terms of his economic record. i mean, when i think about chris christie economics, by the way, a, i can't really figure out what they are. and b, i know that when the chips are down, he comes running to washington for help. >> sounds like rand paul there. >> he actually has some keynesian credentials there. so think about that for a second. so, no, it doesn't surprise me, but it definitely disappoints me
