recovery. >> i think there is element of that. deleveraging stopped about 20 monthsonsumer spending took off in the recovery and the recovery was strong in the beginning. so much we spent went abroad to china. we had currency imbalance. all that on imported oil. all that is lost purchasing power. my view this is not a typical business cycle. the u.s. economy is structurally broken and some of the things this administration has done made it worse. like the banking regulations in new york don't fix the banks. they make it impossible for them to bank. and so my feeling is that there is some arguments on both sides but i'm not very optimistic that if mr. obama's reelected much of this is going to get fixed. >> nariman, i give you the last word. do you agree with that? >> i have two disagreements. one that deleveraging continues if you look at things like household debt to disposable income numbers they keep going down. households are still deleveraging. the other issue we were able to go rapidly in the '90s and 2000s and import a lot. i don't blame globalization or trade

my worry is that because of the duration of this economic recovery, we're now in our 42nd month, and historically whenever we've seen the president go into year one, beyond 20 months, we've ended up in a decline scenario in that subsequent calendar year. >> what snaps us out of it then? >> i think that the housing recovery is one that would be an improvement. i think expectations that we're going to be seeing a very slow recovery in europe still. about flat for 2013. china back above 8% is the expectation. >> typically, we're in the period of the cycle, the presidential cycle, when they have to make the tough decisions anyway. you begin a new term, especially the second term for a president who has won re-election. you can get some real tough decisions made. it's not good for the economy immediately. >> that's right. but if there is one bit of optimism out of that, the market does perform better when the incumbent has been re-elected because people are not in a sense having to get to know an unknown quantity. they already know what they've got. >> i just want to build on that one lit
