is the american lifestyle sustainable? what could be done to make people feel more secure? >> well, the american middle class, maria, has been declining in terms of its effluence for a long time, since the 1980s. the wages for the middle class has been on a downward trend, and it's only now that they're beginning to sense, yes, we see that in terms of wall street, p -- wall street protests and the like. the fact is that capital has benefited labor in the past 20 years, benefited with lower interest rates, benefited to buying investments at cheap interest rates, and to the extent we have imbalances now between corporate profits relative to record levels of gdp and labor and wages which are declining percentages, then i think we'll have significant problems in the future. these imbalances take a long time to correct, and it will be dependent to a considerable extent in the elections of 2012 and beyond, but we really have a labor versus capital situation which is only now becoming recognized by the american public. >> both of you please stay with us. we'll take a short break on

american dream. it really went to michelle's head, and they started living the millionaire's lifestyle. >> the kids, successful husband, and a handsome house now to decorate and make a home. >> i bought, i don't know, $50,000 worth of trees or something that michelle had selected. and then they were planted in our yard, and it looked beautiful. >> but like another famous couple before them, things came undone in a seeming paradise of the garden. the landscaping required a gardner, and soon, the mistress of the house required him, too. >> enyo was a landscape gardner who michelle ran into on their estate. on the second time he came around to plant trees, she started basically chatting him up and got his phone number. and one thing led to another, and pretty soon, they were involved in a torrid affair. >> the husband says he was clueless. >> i thought our family life was continuing. you know, for me it was wonderful, and i thought for her too. >> but there were tensions and worries aplenty on keithwood court. jonathan nyce's business had fizzled. the clinical trials of his medicine were a bust. you're

bureau have just come out and they are grim and one in two americans half the nation are living in poverty or are living in low income lifestyles basically half of this country is poor a survey of twenty nine mirrors around the country found that one in four americans who showed up in need of food assistance and by and large were eligible didn't receive any help since the banks there's a wrecked our economy for three years ago four million homes have been foreclosed on and each year more than one and a half million children end up homeless perman cain famously said a few months ago this statement and it's been echoed since in words and certainly in tone and intent by several prominent republicans. i don't have facts to back. but i happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the obama administration don't blame wall street don't blame the big banks if you don't have a job a you're not rich blame you also you don't think the banks. so how's the pizza man going to react to this chart. for thirty four straight months there have been more than four unemployed job s

the one thing that most americans even today in our comfortable lifestyle are afraid of and this is what the were runaway slave movie addresses is that there is a slave result that -- revolt that must take place in this country. that still sparks fear in the hearts of most americans when they think of people who they feel they have subdued for such a long time. when they see these bad apples sitting in this room today with the exception of a few, they think that there is something to be afraid of. herman cain was called a bad apple by a person who pulled himself up by his own bootstraps, harry belafonte. why was he called that? you put 90% of this panel in the same barrel with the progress of liberals that are poisoning our children in our schools, better poisoned our communities, they will in fact ruin it. for the progress of/liberal agenda. i encourage everybody who see this type of corruption going on, from the pulpit to the state house, to the white house, to become bad apples and, in fact, they will s indeedpawn a next generation and they have spoiled almost two generations of peopl

american youth. i don't blame them. i blame the kind of culture and lifestyle that they are encouraged to lead. what do you think?i think the entrepreneurial spirit was important to me as a farm boy on a remote farm who didn't know anything about the outside world but was raised with hard work and had nurturing parents. i made the best of what i had. all i wanted to do was go in the navy. >> when president obama makes the state of the union speech next week, would you like to see him do that kind of speech? a direct message to people. we know times are tough. we know unemployment figures are very, very high. we know people are suffering, but the first thing americans should be doing right now is self starting, getting back on their feet, finding ways to make a living, doing the entrepreneurial thing that you did? >> i don't want to tell president obama how to make a speech, he is a much better speech maker than i am. i think always to tell the truth is the best approach. let the american people know the facts as expressed to them very clearly and concisely and inspirationally by the president is very good. we nee

americans haven't even run those calculations. if the calculations show you're not going to have enough, you need to take steps now, rather than later to improve your situation. so downsize your lifestyle. everything from the amount of money that you're spending on your cars to the amount of money you're spending on your housing. if those smaller things don't do the trick you have to resort to drastic measures. which means if you need to be working and you don't have a job, you go where the job is. >> and for people who are just now discovering that it's not going to be there, part of it is getting over the shock and getting to work on this. >> this is why people don't look at the numbers. they don't want to know. that's why they don't open the 401(k) statements. you have to look at it. what alicia minell said in the piece about just working a little bit longer and putting off social security, your pay-off goes up 8% for every year you put off taking it. >> thank you for joining us. we have more retirement resources on the web. some thanks to aarp. we have put it all on our website. nbcnightlynews.com. another break. when we come back, a discovery about memory and how to make it last.

lifestyle as it is here in the u.s. but cycling offers more joy and happiness, less traffic noise, cleaner air and better social integration. yesterday during the bike ride i noticed that the americans, the san franciscans who cycled with us, they met a lot of fans. they were constantly waving and saying hi, hello, and how are you? and in a car, well, with the speed you're going, it's difficult to recognize who you're approaching and to say hi, the car is on the next block. on the bicycle you can see each other, wave, call each other in the evening saying well, what were you doing at the wiggle? economic benefits -- well, all these benefits i mentioned are also to be translated into economical benefits. as was mentioned, for the shopkeepers, the psychists are very good. at -- cyclists are very good. at first they don't didn't know because they see the huge trolleys with lots of growsies getting into the supermarkets with lots of cars. with you -- but surveys showed that car customers just come once a beak and bicyclists come every day and every day they spend $20. if they come six days that's $120. and the family trolley, that huge car is worth $80. so cyclists are good for shopkeep

american world leads. we spent too much. it's not a revenue issue it is spending issue. the united states joined the rest of the western world in voting itself a lifestyle it wasn't willing to pay for. and indeed it can never pay for because when you spend $4 trillion but you only take $2 trillion which is the federal government model you can never close that down with revenue. when the government spends on the scale washington has gotten used to it isn't a spending crisis it is a moral one. there's nothing virtuous about caring, compassionate progressives demonstrating how caring and compassionate and progress of the hour by spending money yet to be earned by generations yet to be born. we are losing the future to bribe the president. indeed we have looted the future to such an extent it is no longer clear we have one and that is what the so-called fiscal conservatives often miss. it isn't a green issue. increasing dependency, this incentivizing self-reliance of solving the citizenry from responsibility for their actions but the multi trillion dollar debt capacity is not the problem but merely a symptom and this is where i disagree with mitch daniels a
