next 12 months? right now, i think in the last several weeks, the our pea an central bank, the imf have taken a 2008 style meltdown, post lehman brothers situation off the table for the moment. it s encouraged markets, it s gotten us to not worry about a banking crisis erupting tomorrow. it s going to be a weak economy over there. they re engineering a recession in europe, based on all these awe stairity plans they re opposing. 8.6%. what do we suspect will happen in unemployment over the next 12 months? most likely it goes down. it doesn t really plummet. we should expect continued job growth. you mentioned the unemployment situation has improved. the weekly claims have broken below the level. it usually means things are improving rapidly, even those consumer confidence numbers. people say, the jobs are hard to get, versus jobs easier to get answer has improved to levels
the fairest, best possible policy that we could have chosen. it s the first major challenge to the awe stairity moves by the government. opposition labor party leaders took up the fight. what really concerns me is the impact this will have on social mobility and people getting on in our country. after recent protests turned violent, police tried to do more to contain the rioters. still at least nine people were injured. at least 22 protesters hurt. some ten protesters arrested. there have been violent, unprovoked attack. the vote went ahead as scheduled and passed. that meant some members of the governing coalition rebelled and late tonight, police pushed the remaining protesters away from parliament, hoping to restore calm for now, at least. university tuition hikes are just the beginning of austerity efforts here. more protests should be expected at the prim and proper image of the brits takes some hits as well.

that s self-righteous. morgan, make your point. i agree with bill. actually i can t help but think of the european union and their bailout mess. greece accepted here excepted here, ireland and portugal, they were forced to put awe stairity plans in awe sterrity plans in place. the fact that states have to take this money and can t use it toward what they need to is only going to keep spending out of control. steve, if a state rejects the money and that money goes to another state, isn t that an encouragement for all states just to spend everything that comes their way? that s what s been feeding this gravy train for 40 years. you lose it or use it. it s there, let s grab it or somebody else will grab it. that s what rubio wants to stop. good thing. it encourages wrecklessness. we got to stop it. as for california, if it wants more tax money, lower taxes there, quentin. you have the highest in the country. you ll get money coming in
