host: next call from albany, new york. caller: good morning. my question is what are going to be the options for seniors who are going to be living on social security alone because of their retirement plans were derailed when the economy went defunct? also, what would happen if you were an older person in your eighties and your doctor recommended that he needed to check for, let's say, colin cancer? but a colonoscopy would be too invasive for you and a government plan would only cover the procedure and not one where you might swallow a camera. how the get what you need that would be best for you under those conditions -- how do you get what you need that is best for you under those conditions that are set procedures approved for certain treatments? guest: we have those now under any form of insurance. interest companies deny procedures all the time. i do not think there's anything in healthcare reform that would lead us toward a system of rationing or determinations about which technologies or treatments would be given. there are provisions in

host: new albany, mississippi, on the republican line. caller: yes.t is like a tall lady, no matter what good he has done in the senate -- like i told the lady, the fact that he got drunk, drove off a bridge and allowed the young lady to die -- the only reason he was knocked tried for the homicide was because his name was kennedy. host: miami, fla., on the line for democrats. caller: you have a lot of disembodied spirit that will always comment negatively because their parents, their grandparents, and great grandparents, when they came over from england basically had good intentions, but there was another crowd that a general brought that were in the jails and prisons. what we have are the children of those-prisoners and bad folks that were in england who were not want to the. it has come home to roost. -- you have the children of those prisoners and the folks that were in england that were not wanted there. not all republicans are the sending of the rockefeller republicans are from the republicans you see now. they took over the part. it is reaping w

. >> your colleague at nyu, albani, who wrote "praising your work," had a piece in the financial timesting a fair amount of attention. he is talking about higher prices and has this conclusion frchlt yesterday's financial times, the recovery is likely to be anemic and below trend in advanced economy and there is a big risk of a double-dip recession. your comment? >> guest: in the stearn school of business, he's been very right on this crisis for quite a while. and one of of the things that we're doing and again this comes back to noey free lunch, you have to pay the piper. a lot of the stimulus programs that are in effect, look at the cash for clunkers as an example. they're not causing new economic activity. at least not completely. what they're really doing is pulling forward from the future activity that would have happened anyway, but instead of happening in the first half of 20t 2010, it's happening in 2009. of the cash for clunkers, 3 billion that was spent as of yesterday, my best guess is that two-thirds of it was cars that would have been bought eventually, we are just buying
