joining me now in our rapid response panel, bruce bartlett, former reagan and george h.w.policy adviser. also, dr. lafer, a former reagan economic adviser. i want to hear, just clean state what both of you gentlemen think about the report. >> i think it's very credible. i think what they show is the income distribute has become more unequal. what they also said in that article, which i thought was also of note, is this is the worst recovery from a trough in over 50 years. and, you know, i would reverse the process there, ed. i think it's really the income distribution is caused by the slow recovery rather than the slow recovery is caused by the income distribution. and if we had faster growth, the poor, the minority, the disenfranchised, all those people who aren't earning income, they are the ones who have been hurt the most and they're the ones who aren't spending and getting this thing back on track. >> doctor, you have a fundamental disagreement with the way we have rebuilt the economy and brought these jobs back into it. >> yes, i do. >> you don't think we've done it
