seizure would be the residential mortgage backed security you're a holders you're right you invest bartlett's a little bit they are like a facebook's sheryl or they're going to lose fifty percent other investment at least correct well moody's came out with a report which is interesting because they they think that the san bernardino county is going to go out and and buy jumbo loans and they said that the mortgage investors anyone who held a r.b.s. with jumbo loans in it you know in california would lose like twenty percent and if they if this program worked across the nation it would be a loss of like thirty percent but you know if we think about it maybe they should've lost money a long time ago maybe they'd be they should have taken these losses three years ago and we would have had a chance to clean up the housing market right well terry of course they were. we're going to lose money but that those losses are going to be borne by the community at large just like we saw in greece where debt was foisted on the population not of their own creation and then they're paying austerity and fascism

i think bruce bartlett is just wrong about this.evious discussion about republicans being against raising taxes. i'm one of those people. to be a republican is to be against raising taxes and if democrats want to be the pro-tax party, that's fine. what we found in our study very clearly through every dollar of taxes that have been raised over the last 50 years, spending has gone up by $1.50. that's one reason why i don't think raising taxes is a good way. if you look in the '80s, as you know, one of the things reagan did is cut that top tax rate from 70% to 80%. in 1980 when reagan was elected, by 1990, $1 trillion of revenue. one last point -- >> tax increases after that first year, stephen. >> what did you say? >> after six round of tax increases. we raised taxes in '82, '83, '84 and '86. >> did reagan cut taxes or raise them? >> he cut them in one year and then raised them in six years. >> the rates came down from 78% to 28%. that's a pretty big reduction in rates. the point i'm making, norm. i think you would agree with this. i
