i think they re clueless at the moment. and especially donald trump, who is the decision maker. i think that he is not sure which way he wants to go. i think, still, rudy giuliani is the leading candidate, because he is the one that has been the most loyal, who s worked the hardest. on the other hand, donald trump cares about appearances and is upset that giuliani is not getting the rave reviews from outsiders that he was hoping. romney looks the part of the secretary of state, although romney and he trashed each other. ting there still could be somebody that comes up at the last minute. other focus we ve talked about, obviously, david petraeus, who was there today. bob corker. the senator who chairs the foreign relations committee. there s any number of folks. but i m curious as to this notion that the secretary of state should be a reward for a job well done in a campaign. that s why we have an embassy in bermuda or the bahamas or something. i was a campaign hack and i m for re

jobs and they don t have an income and cost of living in many cases continue to rise over the period, david. and so the poverty rate is the worst in the depths was a recession. the poverty rate declines we all agree. we all agree on that. we have spent a lot on anti-poverty and we have cut poverty programs, except maybe the of the most recent. and (talking all at once.) they are supporting the reagan economic policiless as a way to get the economy going. we heard him say that. i am not supporting reagan economics. we hear it. you are saying that the economy did better and that s why people got out of the poverty rate. it was the policies of the reagan administration and anti-welfare policy of the clinton administration. hang on, and also the local
