. >> brenda: all right. gary b, i have a feeling you don't agree. >> i don't, brenda. look, i do agree with one point jonas made, no one can disagree that stimulus spending creates jobs. we're all in agreement about that. the real question, is that dollar better spent by the government or is it spent-- better spent by the private sector? look, this has been studied and the multiplier, essentially, what does a dollar create in the gdp? the multiplier for government spending, stimulus spending is .64, that means every dollar you and i, brenda, give to the government and for our taxes, only raises gdp 64 cents. it says right there, no matter if you think it's great to have wind farms or hollywood producers getting breaks, the money is spent inefficiently, it's much better spent as gary k points out, in the private sector, that's why we could spend all the money we want on stimulus, it's not going to create as many jobs as if you and i had spent it ourselves. >> caroline, that's called basically crowding out, it's an economic term. the bottom line is if the government spen

i can do my job. >> i'm with you on that, brenda.magine giving the employers the power to do this. many employers are doing this firing people for not getting flu shots. they only have marginal benefit because it's often hard to predict which strains are goin to be the most deadly essentially or spread the quickest across the nation. so those who get the flu shot. 2% get the flu, versus 3% who do not get it. giving the employers the power is like telling employers telling employees they can't smoke or eat fatty food, it's an invasion of our privacy. >> brenda: and companies can pretty much do what they want, right? >> exactly, look, i agree he with caroline, i think that flu shots are hit or miss, but jonas has the more valid point. employers, unless they're infridging on their rights somehow should be allowed to do whatever they want to increases the bottom line. when i worked at ibm i had to wear a white shirt every day. it was stupid, i didn't like white shirts, i looked better in blue, but they thought would help sell more comput

absolutely no one. >> brenda: and wall street likes that. >> yes. >> brenda: caroline, you want to weigh in here? >> well, absolutely. toby, i don't know what u.s. you're living in because we're in economic calamity. we don't have much of a middle class so we have a very long recession, we're not getting out of it it because of the lack of aggregate demand and flexibility in our market system because we have such a bifurcation of rich and poor. and what we have is a david versus goliath. >> hang on professor, i'm looking at the worst calamity here. >> are we not in a calamity? >> no. >> brenda: should unemployment go up, do you think, because the labor relations board has less power now? are you expecting that to happen? >> well, the primary reason that employers haven't been hiring is number one, lack of aggregate demand, which is tied to the shrinking middle class and number two, uncertainty in the market. not labor, and not the nlrb decision, so actually i don't think it's going to cause a spike in employment. >> i think if you look at boeing, and if you look at their actions, there's

>> it's absolutely the worst thing, brenda. the left likes to say, well, you know, ronald reagan raised the debt limit 18 times, george bush raised it 7 times, bill clinton raised it 8 times. so, you know, both sides do it so it must be okay, and from the perspective of fair and balanced, it has to stop no matter who is president. we go through the same cycle, we raise the debt limit, spend more,en go out and borrow more, and raise the debt limit again and it looks like it's unstoppable, but this is the check and balance of how to govern our society. we can't afford the bills we have now to pay. someone has to say, no, spend what you have and let's move on. >> brenda: you know, it doesn't really mean anything. why not get rid of it. it's been used for political hay, both parties have made political hay out of it. >> that's right, every 18 months we're going through an economic crisis and here we have another one brewing regarding the debt ceiling. let's get rid of it. i'm all for smaller government, but this economy right now,

rhea and brenda?you know, time is running out, so i hope you're gonna go and make that call right now. you've given us so much information. and, of course, if we have all of the things that we're offering in this thank-you gift, we can go over it. but could you possibly--is it possible to say what is the single most important thing for us to remember? >> the single most important thing for you to understand is the first thing you have to do in stopping the silent inflammation is heal the gut. that's i'm about is the digestive system, and that's the core of your being. you know i call it the gps the gut protection system. and you start by probiotics, which we talk about in the program and in the book, and also your omega-3s and fiber. thsoe three things begin to health the leaky gut, because you have to stop the flow of the inflammatory toxins that are flowing through the blood and creating inflammation. that stops it, so that comes first. >> mm-hmm. >> that's the first thing that you do is, you stop t

one from brenda wineapple about the job of recovering in a biography. and i thought now of course everybody is doing that in a certain way that men would not quite say that. it's about recovering something and similarly phyllis rose's books saying women go to these women's lives or two men's lives to or to married lives to find out how to live. we are researching how to live but again i don't think most male writers would say that. why are you studying its? i want to know how to live. it's a little to what? i don't know. >> i would say that is why we can't go into the female lives. of course the point of being a writer is to travel imaginative leg across genders and history but you have to acknowledge that there is going to be a sexual charge. if you you are i write about colin it there is no way we can do it the way judith thurmond did. what i'm really doing is saying what about him is like me? how can he train a search light into the dark that i might not otherwise want to look at its? if i'm writing first i would have to call it fiction and secondly
