upticks in the economy, jobs are van issuing. editor of the "huffington post" and author of the new book "thirld world america, how politicians are abandoning the middle class and betrying the dream." democratic congress, democratic president, mortar i believe unemployment news especially if you're out of work. what does this mean for democrats in november? >> very bad news, christine, very bad news, indeed. the fact on top of it that some of the additional job losses as we see reported among teachers and losses by state governments at the very moment when the new school year is starting. that shows how much pain. i'm here in atlanta, your headquarters, i've been talking to a lot of people out of work and a lot of people still at work but worried they are going to be next. that's really why the economic

anxiety is so deep among people still working. >> if you have your job, you're going to feel those local and state job cuts because it's going to mean fewer teachers in the classrooms for your kids, fewer services, right down to going to the county park is going to cost more money. all these things people feel because state budgets cut and meaning more job loss. we have our good friend steven moore, editorial writer for "the wall street journal." voters say the economy, specifically unemployment is their top concern. what realistically changes if republicans take one or both houses of congress in november? >> first of all, let me say, christine, last month all the economists at the national bureau of economic research said the recession is long over, we're out of the recession. but what this report shows us we're still in a jobs recession and that's what matters most to americans. you're right, these numbers could not come at a worse time for democrats. they have to face the voters in

three weeks. republicans are running on an agenda of change just like barack obama did two years ago. what they are talking about doing is stopping the spending, reversing a lot of the stimulus spending they don't think and i don't think works. they are talking about cutting tax rates for businesses to get them to hire more workers. >> one thing interesting about the job numbers i'll point out to both of you, one thing disappearing are stimulus jobs. some people are calling for we don't need stimulus, the stimulus didn't work. actually the pulling back of some of that stimulus, we're seeing it in these numbers. that could prove, stephen, the stimulus did work in some places. there are people working in the last few years because of the stimulus. >> the problem is you can't keep spending money forever. we did get a bump of employment when we spend $800 million. what are we going to do, continue to run deficits for a trillion dollars the rest of our lives. the problem is here we are two

years later after that stimulus started and we have a higher unemployment rate than when we started. i do think it's a failure. i do think radical changes for getting taxes down. >> failed experiment or something that blunted the impact of the economy. >> first of all it's absurd for stephen to say it's a radical change. what proposing is exactly what they were proposing during the eight years when they were in charge for most of that time and brought the economy to the brink of collapse. of course the stimulus helped but it didn't help enough. the problem with the stimulus is it was inadequate. it did not really create the kind of jobs the administration hoped it would create. right now the solution is not to abandon any government efforts to create jobs. the private sector is sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars that they are not spending to

create jobs. that's what we need to do what fdr did during the great depression. infrastructure projects. the infrastructure is crumbling. why not use this time to create jobs and renew our unfra struck. it's in desperate need of renewal even if we're at full moimt. >> i want to look at three major issues that matter to your money, taxes. president obama believes tax cuts should be extended. republicans say everyone, including the wealthy should get the extension. the president wants to exclude the rich. the budget. both sides preach fiscal discipline. if you're not going to raise money, you need to spend less. both sides agree the government should provide popular entitlements like social security, medicare. the rhetoric is similar when it comes to slashing debt without specifying sacrifices.

one area of contrast between president obama and republicans, health care reform. republicans say repeal it. stephen moore, you've been a proponent of repealing health care reform. what other major differences can voters expect if republicans win one or both houses of congress. could they really repeal health care reform? that sounds like messy and difficult and almost impossible? >> christine, i don't know if they can get it repealed. i know this is a top agenda item for the republicans i've been talking to and i think they are exactly correct. you know, one of the things that ties into this loss of jobs and one reason i'm worried about where we're headed with jobs, the health care bill is just kicking in. that adds significant costs to employers. look what happened to the insurance premiums. i talk to small businessmen all the time and they say their insurance costs keep rising month after month after month. i do think suspending that bill or repealing it until we get back to 6 or 7% unemployment would make a big difference in terms of inspiring businesses to

inspire workers or at least stop firing them. >> arianna. >> the problem with businesses is not that they need to be inspired, they need to see where the demand is coming from. they are making business decisions. right now the problem is that while we all came together and spent hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out wall street, we have not brought the same urgency to bear to saving main street. even though, for example, we still have about $70 billion left in t.a.r.p. money. why not begin to spend that in ways that would create jobs right now. i mean, there's so many ways to do that. right now the "huffington post" has suggestions around the equivalent of fdr works and progress administration that built our modern infrastructure. green jobs in renewable energy where you actually create public-private partnerships. what republicans want a payroll tax holiday. basically we need to bring

republicans and democrats together and realize that we have a major crisis in this country that is affecting young and old people. we have 4 million young people between 16 and 24 who are out of work. that is really basically killing the american dream at this most sensitive age. >> arianna, what you're talking about. everything you just said we did that. we just spend a trillion dollars on all those contracts and it didn't work. >> we have to pay the bills here, believe it or not, and then we'll get right to this vigorous discussion. >> we didn't get jobs from a trillion dollars of spending. let's not do it again. >> stick around. you have two minutes. coming right back after this break. what's around the corner is one of life's great questions.

and while it can never be fully answered, it helps to have a financial partner like northern trust. by gaining a keen understanding of your financial needs, we're able to tailor a plan using a full suite... of sophisticated investment strategies and solutions. so whatever's around the corner can be faced with confidence. ♪ northern trust. look ahead with us at northerntrust.com. as a part time sales associate with walmart. when william came in i knew he had everything he needed to be a leader in this company.

all right. when we left off stephen moore and arianna huffington were having a vigorous debate. stephen moore we left it off with you. i want you to continue that thought, please. >> i was just saying what arianna was talking about spending more money on shovel-ready projects and more temporary tax cuts and other kinds of projects to hire teachers, we did that for the last year and a half. the one thing my daddy taught me, if you have a losing strategy, always change it.

so this isn't working. we should try a radical change in direction. arianna, when you mentioned what president roosevelt did back in the depression, that didn't do much to end the depression. the last great recession we had, president reagan cut business taxes for individuals and we had one of the strongest and busiest expansions in history. why don't we try that for once? >> stephen, you're rewriting history. the problem was not that they were ineffective, they were inadequate. in the stimulus $300 billion of tax cuts that you love. on top of it, you republicans have been complete hypocrites when it comes to the deficit. you want to add $700 billion to it by extending the tax cuts to the wealthiest americans. that doesn't make sense. let's find areas of agreement

that would create jobs. start a visa program that would allow immigrants with skills and ideas to create jobs and come to this country. this has bipartisan support. >> i love it. >> they agree. >> we're in agreement. >> i want to bring in the director of the economic research institute. he's trying to get in there. >> that's a good discussion. >> this is where i saw you out of the corner of my eye getting excited comparing recessions and recovers. this one is tough. this one is a real bear. >> absolutely. but there's actually some patterns here kind of typical. it's just that what we've had is a jungle variety recession as opposed to garden variety recessions we were used to. i love talking about the recessi depression, not because we want to go there but there's interesting insights.

hoover in '32 raised taxes. nine months later the recession-depressed ended. the economy started growing 10% a year. for four years unemployment fell by 11%. i'm not suggesting tripling the tax rate is going to give us a strong recovery but what i am saying it's more complicated than cutting taxes and increasing spending to get a rule out of the economy. the business cycle is really powerful. it's more powerful than these policies of taxing and spending and interest rates. can you do thing on the contours to take off the highs and lows if it's politically what everybody wants to do but you're not going to change or dictate the business cycle. >> don't tell that to the political ad campaigns, everybody heading into the next month. everyone is trying to use the economy for their benefit or to hurt their opponent. right, arianna? >> absolutely. that's why christine, what would be great if we in the media do a

better job at putting the flashlight we have on people's stories. talking to real people about what's happening in their life is going to wake everybody up to the crisis. talking to brenda in atlanta, that i write about in my book, who lost her job in human resources, a good job after 13 years, has not been able to get another job three years so she's making homemade praline cookies and selling them on line. people are trying to make due. it's getting harder and harder and we need to address this human crisis. >> stephen moore, how are republicans going to make it any better? how can they make the job situation different? >> i hope what they do, christine is they add some confidence to the business sector. the business community and employers really feel like

there's been kind of a war on business in this administration with the cost of obama care. >> front page of the "wall street journal" said this was a historic turn around for many businesses in america. they are making money. >> those are large. i'm talking small businesses with tiny profit margins and feel like the added cost of regulations and health care and taxes are making it difficult to expand their business. >> we'll have a discussion about the economics of job numbers after discussion of the politics. arianna, thank you very much. the book is fantastic. also stephen moore, "wall street journal" writing, thank you. hiring for the holidays, what that means long-term to the job crisis in the country. who is hiring for how long next? what's this option? that's new.

personal pricing now on brakes. tell us what you want to pay. we do our best to make that work. deal! my money. my choice. my meineke. the economy lost 95,000 jobs in september and the unemployment rate remains at 9.6%. with the private sector gaining 64,000 jobs in a month. it's not enough to offset a loss of 159,000 government jobs. those are mainly census and local government jobs, teachers, people who you will feel their loss. no question, even if you have your own job. bill rogers professor at rutgers university, former chief economist at the department of labor. september marks nine straight

months of private sector job gains even as the overall number is down. what does this tell us? >> it tells us the economy is moving in a good, positive direction. as many analyst say we're below the important level. >> it feels like a slog, a slog. >> a long slow slog out there. >> 9.5 million are working part time but ready and able to work full time. that's a record high. 9.5 million people considered employed but working under their potential. >> this is the hallmark of the recession that been the loss in the jobs market. when you lose over 8 million jobs you have a lot of people underemployed as well. it's not just the job losses but all the peripheral stuff. you're seeing the broader employment rate go back up to its recent high of a little over

17%. this is all because we are digging out of a huge hole. >> people listening to 17%, you're talking about the number of people who don't have a job or underemployed. >> called the real unemployment. >> statistics are a little imprecise but the picture is clear. we have a huge hole we're digging out of. we're digging out slowly. when they say the recession ends, all that means, it doesn't mean anything great is happening under your feet, it's just that you've moved the economy into the recovery room. anyone who has made it into a recovery room, it still hurts a lot. that's where we are now. we're slowly slowinging out of that. private sector jobs growth getting nine months in a row, that means something. that's not about simply stimulus, that's also about employers being scared that if they do not increase their capacity, which means hiring another person in many case that

they are losing out. >> there's a big chunk of people in the middle losing out, 40% of unemployment americans have been unemployed six months or longer. that is an unbelievable number. you and i talked before about people left out as hiring comes back. are we at risk a big chunk of people left behind, jobs that aren't coming back? >> it's not so much an issue of jobs coming back where we had 1980s or 1990s outsourcing. that still is going on. it's just because they have been out of work such a long time they are probably going back to that original job. so i think the challenge going forward whether we'll see an unleashing of inequality, depending on the administration and congress doing their focus of maintaining safety nets, so the adverse effects, long-term cost of the scarring of the recession won't be as great and also improving education and

training opportunities, as i tell my students, now is the right time in a slow economy to be adding to your skills. just the other day at the white house i was meeting with an economist to talk about jobs. this was a group focused on minority issues. along with getting the broad economy growing. one sechblgtd it's the tax cuts, more continued stimulus. there is starting to be a growing chorus of people in that room saying if we get past this election and unemployment is still high at 9.5, 9.6. >> you can bank on it. >> i'm sorry, means it will be 16 to 17% in minorities you're going to have to consider public sector employment. >> you can bank on it. rough numbers, 10% or so unemployed, half of them long duration unemployed. what that means is you've been out of a job six months or more. those half are being left behind. make no mistake the recovery, if

it should strengthen, that's an if, if it should strengthen and start to get more sustainable, more believable and businesses start hiring they are still not hiring that half of the unemployed. the shorter duration unemployed, they are actually getting hired faster than we've seen in any recent recovers. if you go to the shortest duration. what that means is you lost your job and you get hired back in under five weeks. a lot of people, about 20% of the unemployed fall into that group. they are approaching today the lowest -- or they are approaching record lows in history. the record low is 1.5%, 1.8% right now. so you see, if you don't have the skills the businesses want, you are left behind. i agree you might need some policies to try and do that but it's not going to happen fast. >> we need education system. there's a whole host of issues that will have to be addressed. that's what makes this a problem for our generation not just the recession. we have to leave it there. gentlemen, as always, a

going up. that's one of the shocks of the numbers you talked about in the last segment. >> the shock of gray. why are young workers directly competing with older workers when it comes to jobs? >> well, it's a global phenomena. older workers are eased out of full-time employment, regular employment, lifetime employment a little younger than they had in the past so they still need work. they reenter as temps, self-employed, part-time records. they have a track record. they have been vetted by the workforce. sometimes they are under written by a small pension or social security so they can get by for less. when you pit them against a younger worker who comes in and really needs to live on his paycheck and has no track record, a lot of times employers are going with the older workers. >> we're seeing a shift between

the older worker and entrepreneurship in the country. those over 55 years of age almost twice as likely to found successful companies when compared to younger workers. are older folks a good hope for economic growth? >> yeah, i mean, there's two subsets of self-employed, the capable entrepreneurs, always capable. when they are older they have great networks. they have skills. they have people they have done business with. they can charge and create businesses. there's a much, much bigger number of people self-employed because nobody wants to hire them. they are not the growth engine for the economy, although they do take some of the economic burden off supporting the older population. >> all right. the book is fascinating, shock of gray. ted, thanks for coming from chicago. have a great weekend. >> you, too. thanks. >> that last graphic looks promising, starting a company it isn't a reality for older folks
