7:15 pm
technical details. but what i can tell is that they left out a few disincentives and they've included a number of them. and we are still learning about these things. and we will realize that the distortions are bigger than we ever thought. >> you talk about this is a massive disincentive to work, which in and of it self is deeply troubling for everyone. you also argue that obamacare raises the marginal tax rates on income and reduces the rewards for working more hours trade and we also know that there are more taxes and we don't know the full extent of the taxes that are going to result from obamacare at this point. is that correct? >> yes, that is correct. one thing we recognize in
7:16 pm
economics is that there are a lot more taxes than the politicians say it doesn't matter whether you asked people and either way the government is making more money off of the people that are working more and earning more. that amount is taxation. even though it as a legal matter a lot of the programs appear on the spending side of the budget and not on the tax side. >> we are looking at this and he is referring to the stimulus now that it created, which i thought was an astounding statement today. to say that the stimulus amounted to this savior created, and i love that expression as well. it's million job your spirit can help us throughout?
7:17 pm
>> the stimulus was full of assistance for low income and unemployed people. and as americans we like to help people. so that is good. and unambiguous side effect of helping people with people with low incomes is that you get more people of low incomes. and that is what the stimulus did. as a result and because of the stimulus we can feel good that we helped people, but we have to recognize that we made this last longer and people. >> the loss of those jobs that were in place before the reception, economic growth is as well. and we still have, it seems, and

7:19 pm
against them. >> twice delayed by the administration? >> yes, that's a common pattern at the state level. and the assistance for health insurance, the reason i say that is because we can continue to assist people in buying health insurance and selecting some kind of assistance for people who are unemployed with low incomes will continue to be there. so these incentives are here for years to come. >> thank you so much. thank you for being with us. >> you're welcome. >> a medical breakthrough were a surgeon successfully implanted a 3-d printed pelvis 3-d printing

7:25 pm
>> what you call pollution in business and what they have achieved in this country, for example, is a remarkable thing that they were forced into the clean water and clean air act. but we are talking about a different element when we talk about global warming and climate change. which has become almost a personal belief system for thousands of people. it's about empirical testing. >> you agree? >> no, i do not.

7:28 pm
said this to try to bring pressure on the obama administration and he desperately wants a deal to offer more concessions. in the iranians really good at negotiations and so then you have the real war in the middle east. because israel cannot and should not deal with this when ron continues to call for this on the destruction of israel.

[ dan ] it's just human nature to focus on the here and now so it's hard to imagine h much we'll need for a retirement that could st 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirent. ♪ ♪ of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza®. for a while, i took a pi to lower my blood sugar, but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza®. he said victoza® is differenent than pills. victoza® iproven to lower blood sugar and a1c.
