>> look, all day long representative boehner has been saying taxes can't be on the table. revenues can't be on the table. you know, by the way, nancy pelosi somewhat to my surprise said, you can't begin these negotiations without revenues on the table and entitlements on the table. she is trying to do what the president has done which is to come to the table with an open mind. you simply can't achieve a sustainable budget deficit simply on the basis of spending cuts alone. now let me go back to a point that doug has very deeply wrong here. you are absolutely right, doug. the president inherited the worst recession since the great depression. then because of the stimulus act and the action of the federal reserve, an economy falling off a cliff was then growing again as you correctly pointed out starting in mid 2009. >> how fast? >> since then it's been stuck absolutely in neutral. >> his policies have failed. >> we need to build on the programs that got us here going forward. >> they didn't get us here.
