fail? or is it on the wrong track? >> it would be a lot shorter answer if i told you anything they had done right. they have been regulation crazy. they have piled cost after cost, delay after delay, in the path of those who would hire americans. they have been for -- more taxes on the threat of more taxes on a recurring basis. as if that wasn't enough to stop the economic growth, they have chosen to be sadly divisive, castigating individual businesses, business sector, even individuals by name. and so, they have had -- as pure an anti-growth economic policy as one could imagine. no one should be surprised that the economy has responded as it has, businesses are scared to death to risk any of the money that they have in their treasuries.
