host: a tweed. guest: they did say that because we are borrowing money. whatever we do not collect in terms of taxes, we are borrowing from our children. so no it does not have any affect on the trust fund right now. it has an affect on your children. remember, every dollar you borrowed today, you will pay back with interest. if it is over 30 years, a compound 1.4% over 30 years, it will be twice as much as we're spending today. the worst thing to do is to borrow money and increase programs now and pay for over a long period of time. we cannot manage the debt of we have now. there will come a point in time when our interest rates are going to skyrocket. why would we set ourselves up to be greece? they're saying it does not have any affect because we are borrowing -- we are stealing from our children today to get this tax credit. that is exactly what we're doing. that is what we did last year. we went out in the market and borrowed $107 billion to fill the hole and so it did not have any affect on the trust fund, but they also said that we're not getting a

let me show you a tweed. "what evidence do you have that doing something in d.c. the debt is helping the economy?" guest: i'm not sure i understand. by taxing the payroll -- first of all, as it has been passed, it is supposed to be paid for by increased fees on mortgage loans and the like, but that is just for this two months. if we increase the debt, the thinking is that even if it does that, it puts more money into the pockets of consumers who, i think, are 70% of the u.s. economy. everybody is hoping for a good holiday season, get out and last-minute shopping and all that. if that is able to be sustained, people think what is a very gradual economic recovery could continue. if it is not sustained, consumers decide they are $40 down in the paycheck every time and not secure about the economy given what is going on in europe, given the continuing uncertainty about some of the banks and their performance, then that means the economic recovery would stall. the question is, given the negative association with the stimulus spending, where is it that we can, as an ame
