it's a delight for me to be able to introduce you to christine saviniki. she's no stranger to the committee having appeared before us several times, i've penally known christine for seven years, time for me to know what an impressive person she is. she was born and raised in jackson, michigan, a mid sized town in the southern part of the state. her grandfather svinicki came to work in the iron mines of michigan. she's the youngest of seven children. her father was an army veteran of world war ii, although her father never spoke about his war experience experiences as is so often the case. she and her siblings were moved to learn after his death, he had two with bronze stars which he never talked. after the war, amol was the first of his family to go to college, attending the illinois institute of technology, in chicago studying architecture. she was raised to understand that her parents valued education, above all else. so although she lost both of her parents to illness by the time she was 20, she knew that they would want her to finish her college degree

so far to correspondent christine for zero is there right now in wisconsin and joins us live christine thanks so much for going out there to cover this it seems like there was a lot of emotions. you know going around after the results can you talk a little bit about what it was like to be there. well abbie you're absolutely right i can't tell you how many people were absolutely shocked and devastated some of these people have really spent a better part of this year focusing on yesterday focusing their energy and their efforts they really believed because there were so many of them because there was a passion behind their movement that they were going to see a victory they were ignoring the polls leading up to this election and when they found out in a lot of them were here for an hour or so after the results had come in on the news and they still were unwilling to believe that scott walker would. essentially be able to keep his job something they were hoping wouldn't happen and i'll tell you i can probably say it with a lot of certainty that this is the first quiet day that this capita

i'm christine romans. what if i told you there's no one riding in on a white horse to save you on election day. our problems are global, structural and decades in the making. that presents a tremendous challenge for president obama. 59% say finance will be an important factor in the elections. president obama didn't break this economy but he hasn't fixed it fully either. there can be no doubt, the recovery is ailing here. this is what the economy looks like since the president took office three and a half years ago. this is economic growth. gdp growth below 2% here. that means our economy is not growing fast enough. it's growing but not fast enough. your most important asset, your home, despite government efforts to prop up housing markets, home prices have fallen in the last three and a half years. and jobs, 20 consecutive months of jobs gains. it's these last five months right here, this slowdown in jobs growth right here, that could cost the president his job. that's at least what the republicans are ho

there are zero today, christine.nd the president needs to continue to talk about that because the president says if we had a handful of republican senators, we could pass it tomorrow. >> ladies, i know. we have five and a half months to continue to watch every turn. thank you so much, leslie sanchez, and maria cardona. >> thank you, christine. >>> up next, mitt romney sparks a debate on classroom size. he says it doesn't matter. but parents and teachers disagree. we're going to get to the bottom line whether smaller classes really do produce better students. for up to 90% less breakage in three washes. for strong, healthy hair with life, new aveeno nourish+ strengthen. really? 25 grams of protein. what do we have? all four of us, together? 24. he's low fat, too, and has 5 grams of sugars. i'll believe it when i--- [ both ] oooooh... what's shakin'?

>> christine, i don't think that voters are going to endorse it. just because the president signed a law into effect doesn't mean it's a good one. this president also wants to have billions in defense cuts. we're going to continue fighting those. just because the president signed it into law doesn't mean it's good law. i don't think obama care is good law. it's incumbent on us to change it and make something that will work for american people. >> in the end, as much uncertainty today as a week ago? isn't uncertainty the thing gop was saying is the problem with obama care in the first place? businesses and people didn't know how to handle mandates. >> christine, as you know, when democrats voted and passed it out, a lot of uncertainty. you remember the famous phrase they had to pass it before they would know what's in it. >> that's ancient history. the supreme court has ruled on this. it's been two years since it happened. shouldn't you be helping your constituents understand, telling people what mandates are, small businesses 51 people or more will

the world now what to do and they're talking about why they had to pay these people so much why christine legarde has to be paid five hundred fifty thousand ninety thousand of it by the way max ninety thousand dollars is for her living expenses to cover her living expenses and at the same time she's telling the greek people shut up and just vote correctly and i don't feel pity for you you little slobs you little peasants for you not being able to feed your children well at the same time she's telling the american taxpayer mostly but also british taxpayers to pay for her family and her living expenses and her travel expenses i mean the phrase use is a payback it is a back to the greek people and that's really disgusting from christine legarde to use this type of phrase eola jean describing these these people in greece who are being financially raped they're they're subjected to financial terrorism from christine legarde in the i.m.f. they're dying they're having their livelihoods in their countries assets stolen stripped from them from folks like the i.m.f. they're being left with absolute

christine, thank you.ogoff, even two years ago, people would have said, what are you panicking about? the election is in november. this happens by december 31st, they'll get it. the basic -- the basic thing that a government has to do is get its budget together and they don't do that. so there's really -- ben bernanke's worried that congress may not get their act together. are you waerd or you think they'll work it out? >> i think they'll work it out but i don't know what they're going to work out. i think that's what scares everybody. it's hard to imagine they're really going to hit a deal before the election. there are just so many reasons for partisanship and sniping at each other. but they have such different investigations. ali, we've been paralyzed for years now. we haven't undertaken fundamental reform. we have been using band-aids and tape to sort of keep the economy moving along and this is a time -- a crisis is a time you take advantage to do things you couldn't do. we're still sitting here. thin

joins us now live hi christine so we are the hour. or is away now until the polls close sounds like there's a lot of action going on over there where you are describe what the mood is like over there let's both close in just one hour and already if you just take a look behind me you can see quite a few people have already gathered outside of the statehouse everyone here lives knows that this is a very historic day i just found out an interesting new thought on the polling places here in madison actually had to order more ballots to be printed because so many people showed up to vote today this is one of those states where you can actually register on the day of voting so we were at several polling places so many people coming in they were casting their vote for the first time registered on the spot but i've got to say emotions here are swirling high everyone hears that something is at stake whether you're supporting walker or whether you want to see him lose their job lose his job a lot of people who are taking this very personally so

christine romans host of "your bottom line" joins me now.ing a big bet on china. >> right. when jim rogers bets, you should pay attention. he's bearish on america. so why is he placing his money and his family in asia? we took a walk in the park so he could explain. let me ask you about china. is china the answer here? china is slowing as well. >> china has been trying to slow its economy for three years, rightly so. they got overheated. they had a property bubble. they need to slow inflation. china cannot say they've done a about great job. the economies are ten times as big as china. ten times. so even if china booms, if the rest of us have problems, china cannot save us no matter how smart they might be. >> a lot of people think we're looking back on a chapter that will be written in the history books where 20th century belong to england. >> i have sold my house in new york. i moved to asia and my girl's speak perfect mandrin. what more can i tell you? i'm preparing them for the 21st century by knowing asia and by speaking perfect mandrin

here they seem to be the most outspoken about what's at stake in this election and christine can you elaborate on that what exactly is at stake there in terms of workers' rights which seems to be at the heart of the controversy well i think you're going to nail him it is what determine the future of workers' rights if governor walker does get to remain in office a lot of people are expecting that you know what they say what they call an assault on unions rights will take place more governors in other states will take on unions will take on collective bargaining a lot of the people that i spoke to say you know this is absolutely union busting on the other hand if walker loses i think a lot of people are going to think twice about trying to take on the unions number unions have been very powerful they dumped a lot of cash in this election as well and previous elections they tend to support democrats and so it will be really really interesting to see. for wisconsin residents so this is about their lives. you know this is about their jobs this is about policies that will affect them dire
