between greece and europe calls for is a combination of policies that will fix greece's problems and the financing path, new financing and payment terms that would go along with that, that would leave greece in a sustainable situation. a think that there is perhaps narrow path forward here. we are trying to chart that path. payments will have to be consistent with their ability to pay. that can be achieved in a number of ways. we structured our suggestions in terms of maturity periods and grace periods, because we know that europe is more inclined to accept that than other methods. it is not a haircut or

no haircut situation. there are other ways that could work and if implemented, you believe would work? yes, we have done a debt sustainability analysis. we have done the math. which way do you prefer? how would you do it? how would you go about it? in europe'sderstand legal structure, haircuts are have ansioned, so we approach we think is a practical one. of these 300 billion euros how much -- again, i do not want to phrase it in terms of reductions, because then it sounds like we are talking about a haircut. what is manageable? .et's put it that way everybody who owns a house, for the most part, has a monthly nut.

what is manageable for greece? thet: i think you put it way we do. since greece will recover slowly and it will be some years before it can generate payments, we are focused on, as you would put it, the annual debt service will. we think that there has to be many years of grace where there is not principal repayment and then it quite long, perhaps 60 , repayment, and if you look at it that way, there is a paymentatch the annual requirement with greece's ability to meet those payments. erik: are you optimistic, david -- and will merkel and her finance minister ruled out what since have you gotten behind the scenes that they are prepared to consider some of these ideas -- e have you gotten

behind you think they are prepared to consider some of these ideas? guest: they do not consider haircut something in addition under european law. we had a discussion about this in 2012, where europe provided assurance to the imf that greece's that would be made sustainable. but now there will be i need to be more specific. matt: what do you think about the idea that greece it needs a timeout? it needs to leave the euro zone and the european currency for a short while? would that be at all a possibility? and greecepe altogether set down and decided not to go that route -- yet, you float the bloom -- guest: i am not sure float the balloon is correct.

theyargue for that because knew there would be inflation and the greek wages would fall. it would obviously help restore competitiveness. what really matters are great policies. it, you wouldgrex still have a messy situation. what really matters is greece adopts policies to fix its problems are not, not in or out, and they have chosen in. that is the route they have chosen and we will help them work on that push. david lynch, the first deputy director of the imf. much more in the next hour. we will look at how presidential candidate jeb bush is positioning himself as a nerdy tech guy. hmm? all right, and we will

debate about whether technology closes the income gap or widens it because they take away jobs. er caren he took the ub to thumbtack, the driver -- i believe we have a picture of the driver -- did not know who jeb bush was. and later on said if he was going to vote, that he would actually vote for hillary clinton. that was a little bizarre. pimm: the other thing also about this trip, and also the comments being made have to do with uber's position legally in the state of california. whether the drivers are considered contractors or employees. maintains their contractors. the judge handed down a ruling, and said, no, they are employees if they meet certain guidelines.

head of fixed income trading when goldman sachs had its ipo and that was the event that propelled all of this wealth. it started from that one incident. he gave aack and speech at a business school in south africa back in the spring. i looked at some of his quotes. he grew up in public housing in brooklyn so he came from humble beginnings. he told the folks at the school that i know i am a big fat cat plutocrat kind of guy but i will tiger you that i have been the beneficiary of some of these redistribution policies. even he had discussed the inequities between the haves and the have-nots back then. he was the beneficiary of scholarships when he went to harvard. at this point, when you look at where he began and you look at where he ended up, you cannot vote anything but a classic american success story. betty: that is a terrific point. when you compare him to some of his other peers who have just as big names that are in a
