now. all -- want to deal with it. >> david: vicki, go ahead and respond. >> i didn't -- well, i didn't use the word angry but i was talking specifically about confidence. and american businesses, big businesses are sitting on a lot of cash. that's a sign of a lack of confidence. they don't want to spend. consumer confidence is remarkably low. that's what i think this administration needs to address by saying, hey, we are not going to increase your tax burden. we are going to do things to decrease your tax burden. not that drunking sailor spending you are in favor of. >> quickly david, i beg your pardon. dave bernanke already said purchases of treasuries use confidence in the u.s.' ability to control rates, you will see those bond rates turn on a dime. >> let's get off of bond rates for a second. the fact is the confidence, the american public does want some confidence that their government is going to start acting sensibly, not spending like drunken sailors. wouldn't that give us some confidence to know that they are trying to fix social security?
