i m serious. this isn t evenan ideological question. who dreams that up? i don t know. i don t know. we reoing to tax investments that create jobs. eventually though, within the next five, six years, they re going to have to raise taxes on something to pay for the past which raises a legitimate question in my mind. let me stop you then. you said metime, what n the next five or six years? yeah. great. guess what? we re at 9% unemployment, 15%. can t do it now. barack obama ev en said during the campaign, if the economy ws bad, he probably wouldn t raise taxes on he can say the rich now. i say the job creats. now is not the time to do it. sure, if they if they have to do it, let s go back to the clinton era, but not now. the other element, in gibbs s statement that mika just read, i think a lot of people are sick of hearing aboutthe failed policies of the past. do you know how tough it was when we got here?
