and that is a question that's raised in the recent paper by mark sandy and alan binder, i think they concluded that the federal that the government assistance program were successful at mitigating the real economic effects of the financial crisis and so that i think we can they we avoided the worst. but i think that also put a premium on the current efforts wards regulatory reform, you know, it pretty extensive package of reforms has recently been passed. we're still the process of determining what is going to happen with capital requirements and other sorts of reforms on the heels of the year at and i think what we hve to keep in mind is avoiding financial crises is a very, very important task for their extremely costly and high premium should be placed on avoiding them. and so that is the econoc calculation that we made at the time and that we're still making with the regulatory reform effort. >> anybody have any other questions? okay, i'd like to thank everybody for attending. i'd like to thank richard and susan for giving such a great >> we conclude our coverage of the conference

we'll just received a report from the economists alan blinder and mark zandi entitled, "how we ended the great recession." they say in part, "we find that its effects on real gdp, jobs, and inflation are huge, and probably averted what could have been called great depression 2. zero. we estimate that without the government response, gdp in 2010 would be about 6.5% lower, payroll employment would be less by some 8.5 million jobs, and the nation would now be experiencing deflation. when all is said and done, the financial and fiscal policies will of cost taxpayers a substantial sum, but not nearly as much as most had feared, and not nearly as much as if policymakers had not acted at all. the comprehensive wrought -- if the comprehensive policy responses saved the economy from another depression, as we estimate, they were well worth their cost." . we can now look back at their economic report -- performance. the fourth quarter of 2008 was a negative 6.8%. in the most recent quarter, the second quarter of 2010, 2.4%. but you can see in the fourth quarter of 2009, it is 5%. so we are seei

so right on the stimulus that we pursued an economic recovery plan that i think mark's own paper describes along with alan blinder, the former vice chair of the fed, as having had a significant impact on ensuring that the depth of our recession didn't reach a great depression. >> do you agree then with mark zandi, who said the tax cuts shouldn't be allowed to expire in the middle of a recession? >> the president believes that we should not raise taxes on the middle class. >> he says across the board. >> right. the president believes that adding $700 billion to our deficit for tax cuts for those making in excess of $250,000 a year doesn't make sense. >> so is zandi wrong about that? >> that includes businesses. >> we disagree with him on that. >> and that includes businesses though, robert, it's not just individuals, right? >> well, understand that, again, this is the debate we had during the campaign in which we now know which way the participants line up. the number -- you'll hear this a lot during this debate -- "you're going to raise taxes o"" -- >> small business. >> right. just as we said during the
