look at the stimulus in australia. they gave paul credits to first- time home buyers, increasing pension benefits by $1,400, putting money into the hands of the real people to stimulate the economy. neil: that was targeted and effective as opposed to throwing money at everybody? >> absolutely. our stimulus was supposed to be timely, targeted, and temporary, and it was none of the three. that is not how you solve problems. you solve problems by stopping spending money we do not have. everything else should play second fiddle to that short of our engagements overseas. neil: thank you very much. the scene outside of the west wing of the white house right now, democratic leaders discussing with reporters this meeting with the president. our producers have been monitoring this. the bottom line is that generals in the region one more troops. members of the jet -- democratic leadership do not know if they will get it. coming up next, chopping salaries. the pay czar is ready, are you? meg whitman is here. neil: all right, mitc

europe and brazil much better than we are, australia's on fire. a lot of those countries over there are doing very, very well, and they're leading us. we will catch up. china took a break the past quarter. they'll be back up pretty strong the next quarter or two. but in this country we're sort of lagging behind. and that's happened before, it will happen again. but i think we're still going to keep up with the rest the world. >> so how do you invest, then, in that environment, harry? >> we're very heavy international right now, maria. we've been in the -- in europe very heavy the last several months. we're backing out of europe now. more in emerging markets again. taiwan, south kraerks iorea, in australia. we still have italy, spain, austria, and europe. we've been heavy in brazil and brazilian small cap for months and months now. very, very nice gains there. latin america's been the biggest gainer in the market of all so far this year. up 75% for the year. >> matt, what are you looking at? what's most important to you in terms of sifting through

i had a meeting a few months ago, a number of us did, with the prime minister of australia. that is a link the administration. he mentioned the things he was concerned about. he was afraid we were becoming protectionist. there is ample evidence of that with trade promotion authority gone. trade deals have never been ratified. he was also concerned that we might overreact to the events from one year ago. we might go too far in the financial reregulation effort. and squeeze too much risk and opportunity out of the system. and that they would go out and do the same thing. i think we need to be very careful as we go into this financial regulatory effort. we need to make sure that we don't end up incentivizing companies to get too big to fail. we had a bad experience with that already. based on the way the vote was sold to us last year, i voted for it. i would not give the credit for stabilizing the financial system. i do not think it is a justification for the government being involved in all of these areas. it is my hope that the government will get out of the banking business.
