signed we had seen the early evidence that the economy was picking up steam. we did have a disappointment on the jobs last month as you say. but retail sales in november turned out strong. so people are already more optimistic about next year. the stimulus package, and that is what it is. it raises the possibility that unemployment will be moving down, not rapidly, but nonetheless going in the right direction. the other thing it does is remove the major source of uncertainty. for the possibility of a dramatic rise in taxes just has the president s stimulus program is wearing off. this almost eliminates the risk of a double-dip recession. we let dylan go to get ready for his show. now richard, as waer hearing greg talk about the idea of how this will play out over the next two years, which really leads ups up to the next presidential
