Goes wrong, trying to make it so that if it blows up at least pension and retirement will be covered. that s not the case now as we saw with many of the newspapers i referenced. bernie comes out and says business is bad. she s laying it out for you exactly why it s bad and what she wants to do to change it. it s ceos like the ceo of ge doesn t want to see her in power, why freeze the pensions of thousands of your employees? that s an example of the company whose core confidence moved from operations to tax avoidance and that ultimately came back to bite them. what we have is not a failure of markets or a failure of capitalism. we have a failure of regulation. we keep waiting for these companies to call on their better angels and mark zuckerberg is all of a sudden going to discover a concern or a regard for the commonwealth. he wakes up every morning and does his job in a pure play capitalism and that is he focuses on earnings, lies, delays, takes advantage of the congress with only ....
John boehner is pulled by two groups. one he does not want to be obstructionist not to allow tax cuts for lower group to go through and doesn t want tax cuts to go through. he is pulled on that side and by his own party. what i hope is that the vast majority of the republicans hold true and if some of the republicans peel off, i would, that would be fine. if they pushed through obama s bill, but i do not want to see them punished. but the republicans need to have this position for 2014 and the rest of 2013 when the economy goes in the garbage dump. republicans are right. bill: two more quick questions on this. sure. bill: when these congressional leaders speak, what sort of code words should we be listening for today? well i don t know what they would say to each other but on the outside, using the word rates left revenues and that type of stuff are code words especially coming from the president. if he talks about raising ....
