conversation? i don t know the answer to some of these things but would love to have a debate about trade, taxes and banks as way to get this prosperity back into this country. because you re almost a year away from an election, dylan. it s not going to happen. unless things get so, so bad. until you hit 10% unemployment, see $5 no politician will take the risk to come up way plan they could potentially fail at come october. karen, it s clear. we talked to senator coburn who says very ex-less plicitly, no . come up way deal tuesday, will have to vote on it. he believes it will do it because it s absurd. the congress when they re back to the wall will do it. and we perpetuated this thing without ever having any of the real debate all of us are so desperate to get our teeth into? that s exactly right, dylan. i applaud your presentation in the the beginning. one thing i wand to add.
