election? >> over time, you will see that a class warfare argument can have a temporary benefit. but i am worried, because this economy is in a very fragile recovery right now. and especially with gas prices now at 4.14 a gallon, for example, in chicagoland, people are not feeling very wealthy. i'm pretty worried, also, about the federal reserve missing a huge inflation signal that's now hitting this economy, and a big tax increase could also put an engine behind inflation which would hurt this economic recovery. i think in the long run, we should look at the gang of six, three republicans, three democrats, that are looking in putting in the bipartisan commission report on decifit reduction. that report offers us a chance to solve this problem, just as reagan and o'neill did in 1983. gregg: i want to throw one more poll at you and we'll put it on the screen.
