They wrote that thing, to protect us from that sort of thing. Okay, chris. Chris, i guess one of the issues i would have with your assessment is we have cut the deficits by more than half of what they were when george bush was president. The dow was about 7,000. It exceeded 17,000. The economy was up as i said, over 12 . Corporate profits up over 46 and so the suggestion that these policies were bad for america just frankly doesnt make sense to me.

For those middle class workers who have been looking at their pay stubs saying i dont see those statistics. And thats why i believe and why democrats believe, the focus has to be the middle class.
