down off these peaks of omicron we could go back to robust job growth and they certainly ought to be hoping that s what happens. otherwise they are going to be in for a very long year. sandra: douglas it seems the administration wants to take credit for that but guys like larry kudlow, our friend who joins us often here, andy puzder who joined us last hour, saying no matter who is in power you are going to get the major snapback, after you shut down the country you ll get strong economic growth. we did. and he said if the administration and president would have gotten more out of the way we would have seen even more robust growth. this was puzder last hour. when you measure g.d.p. it s against the prior year. the prior year, the state governments, republicans and democrats shut economies down. everybody knew it was going to recover this year. so trying to claim credit for the recovery with, based on his economic policies is just absurd. sandra: ok, so i ll have you react to that.
