were hanging on to all the money , because you don t know how the future will go. is anything happening this week making you more inclined to open up your wallet? guest: i think so. i don t know that i can say here is an exact point because this is a multifaceted group of programs the president put forth but it is hope, a feeling we are headed in the right correction that americans can get out, now, and possibly compete with the rest of the world. at least we have a better shot, a better chance. so i am very upbeat and positive that the president would go against some of his own party leaders to do this. but one thing we need to be very careful about, is the price of oil at $90 today and that is the invisible problem. neil: and that is the lifeblood of industries like yours because of the cot of doing business.
research shows we published in the wall street journal editorial, very clear, that when you extend unmoment benefits you actually increase unemployment and the reason for that is people when they get benefits, they will wait until the benefits run out before they look for a job. neil: there is dispute we hear from the white house that it isn t 13 months and i can t make anything of this. guest: i called the speaker s office today and they said it was 13 months. neil: will save two million jobs that is what they think. guest: i am not sure how giving people not to work money will save jobs two million jobs. that is an interesting concept. neil: that is not a good sign for the show. guest: if that s true, if we save two million jobs by increasing unemployment, all we need is everyone to be unemployed.

keep the money and the money is not messing and with it, whatever version of messing around with it, is, that is good for the individual, and, probably, for the economy. i don t get why it was social security that did this but, what do i know? neil: well, that s true. what do you think of this battle among democrats over the tax? guest: watching this is a circus, like a star trek bar and it is amazing the personalities involved. neil: but they are turning on obama? guest: they will string him. this is bad. neil: one guy is open to the idea of a primary challenge. guest: but it says where they are as far as what the vote just happened and they didn t get that message. so it is kind of dilutional thing, i will go ahead and be that way anyway, even though we lost 60 seats because of being that way?
democrats hold supermajority in both the house of representatives and the senate nothing like we have seen since the days of johnson. with that said, i think that nancy pelosi is probably taken by surprise here and they don t know how to react. neil: all right. it is a barn burner. thank you very much. more jobless benefits but 13 more months of benefits, the difference between being kind difference between being kind and stupid. capital, loaning money is the start of the relationship, not the end. work with polaris every day. at ge capital, we succeed only when they do. whoo! awesome! yes! we ve got to get you out of the office more often. my turn to drive. i m off to the post offic.. ok.
