i think diane is exactly right. we need to pare it way back.ve away here, you have to have a higr tax rate over there. for me, i think what republicans would like to do is pare back cuts like this and use the revenue to get a lower rate. i think the right way to structure the deduction is to eliminate the deduction altogether but replace it with refundable credit. so if you're a low income person who is the true margin of owning a home, you may not have a very high tax rate. if we give you a generous tax credit, it might get you into a home. that's the way to subsidize homeownership, not to give away the deduction to people who are going to own a house anyway. >> kevin, you always bring up canada. >> we do that every time. >> right. >> new data shows that home prices are up 3.6% from this time compared to this time last year, third quarter of this year compared to the third quarter of last year. new home sales did dip a little bit. but that is less than 10% of the market. here is the concern. if we kill the mortgage interest rate deduction, wha

maybe this is a question for you, diane. why are people dropping out of the labor force?ou said a lot couldn't get to work. what are some of the factors causing people to drop out? >> we're seeing a couple of things. one is the demographic issues as people age. we're seeing people take earlier social security than they would in the past. that's a sign of weakness rather than strength. they have been on unemployment. the benefits have run out. at 62 they don't think they can get a new job. that's an issue as well. that's very important. also there is some myth when you run out of employment insurance you may not get a job right away. then you have to go back in because you have to pay your bill. these tend to be signs of weakness and demographic issues rather than things we'd like to see going on. that would enhance job creation and economic growth. >> i think it's infrastructure investment. that's the place where we need to do it. it's not going to kick in right away. >> sure. >> this isn't going to go away right away. getting to infrastructure investment, that's the easy
