this president's policy on syria is unmoored. it has been unmoored. it is chaotic.e behind congress or anybody he can here. he does not want to come out and take a strong position. >> he himself said he already has the authority to do the kind of limited strike he's contemplated doing. >> why go to congress? >> obviously it's the desire to get some kind of political cover or political backing. two things will backfire besides the possibility he might not get it. even if he does get it, it's going to be narrow. he's not going to get a blanket authorization. he's going to get something much more specific in terms of time and in terms of what the green light, what the approval is for. so he's going to have to potentially go back to congress. what this is going to do, add uncertainty down the road to syria and american farm policy. it's interesting, all along and even in his presidency, he did not go to congress on a regular basis for authorities. he didn't for libya. suddenly here at the 11th hour he basically called an audible after he set up the secretary of state to

and they have become unmoored from the real economy. credit to small businesses, for example, still tighter than it should be. you have trading continuing on, banks making record profits but making most of that doing a high frequency trading, the riskier and more profitable operations, rather than this plain vanilla lending. that's why main street doesn't understand this disconnect. >> and yet we read this morning that jpmorgan chase is going to add 5,000 people in regulatory compliance, going to spend billions of dollars to do it. i mean, i don't know, you know, how do you get to the bottom of this and i guess, john harwood in our previous piece, bill, brought up the idea that one reason main street dislikes wall street so much is that the -- that the fruits of the recovery have not gone to main street. >> right. >> they've gone to wall street. >> it's even bigger than the fruits of the recovery. we've had several decades of -- and you've talked about this on your show, about how we've seen a wedge between productivity of workers and t

the problem right now is we have a centralized government, concentration of power, unmoored from theonstitution. that's why they get into these fights. know what they're fighting over, jake? they're fighting over power. who's going to be imposing their will on the american people. that's not the way it's supposed to work. the system is broken. the constitutional construct is broken. what i suggest in "the liberty amendments" is we have to restore the republic by breathing life back into the constitution. >> one just quick thing, sir. that is i just want to ask you quickly, the one most cogent argument i have heard against term limits for members of congress, and you do also propose them for the supreme court as well, but for members of congress, the strongest argume argumentative' heard against them is all that would do is power amonnonymous lobbyists an staffers who would have more power in this town. are you concerned about that? >> i am concerned about that. i'm not the font of all knowledge. i proposed 11 amendments and god willing if we get to this convention of the states to pr
