joining me now, economist doug holtz-eakin who said this about trump's economic predictions.nd baffling he would do this and also substantively wrong. there is no recession in site. doug is president of the american action forum. he was the top economic adviser to john mccain's 2008 campaign and he's a former member of the noncongressional budget office. let me start with this. donald trump said the real employment rate somewhere in the in the 20s. he says we're sitting on a financial bubble and a recession is in sight. that's his take on the economy. how would you describe the state of the american economy right now? >> well, i think everyone know it's not as strong as we would like it to be. there's been a lot of pain in the labor market during the recovery. but, look, you can't get a recession without having household spending, which is two-thirds of the economy, actually falling. and right now the combination of wage growth, job growth, and hours growth adds up to something that looks like almost 6 percentage point of growth per year in payrolls. that's the kind of income

i think the question of corruption, again, the united states being a eakin of how you actually try to fight for democracy and corruption remains a large question. about howt to talk policy -- you do not have to go to much further than chuck hagel. group that i work with called issue one, a bipartisan of money and the role in politics, a film i would recommend to everyone, and mr. role oflk about the special interest money. our defense policy, how we could end up with systems that the department of defense does not want. with levels that are not necessarily the best things for the the policy. i think we have a system here in which we are threatened with a correction that is not a matter of saying here is a dollar -- that is the way you want to look at it. the dynamics of a very complex democracy. notion that there is nothing that can be done is absolutely wrong. i am urging all of the viewers to be in regular contact. i think this is where christian and i agree. we want more voices in the system. we may disagree about how you do that but that is the you have a more vibrant talk. host:

the former justice of the supreme court who just resigned, michael eakin, is allowed to keep his pensionthat we weren't sure of last time we talked. but now it has been ruled that he can keep it. he won't go to trial. he did resign, though, and many folks in those areas are saying that he paid a big price already for porngate. what do you think? was that enough, jim? >> you know, i think so. i've represented people that were charged with criminal offenses, elected officials, by the ag's office, for instance. and in some instances, pursuant to a guilty plea, they would forfeit the pension. in other instances, they wouldn't or they wouldn't be made to. since he's not been convicted of a crime here, i think the resignation in and of itself is a pretty draconian penalty for him. >> he actually will get two pensions, if anybody's counting, from when he was prior -- >> well, he was a da for many years. i think he had some military service. i mean, you can't negate the man's life for mistakes that he made in the last couple years. >> also think it points out why people in these kinds of situati

i'd like to welcome our guest on this thursday, douglas holtz-eakin.r taking the time. >> thanks for having me. >> first advanced look at gdp, some internals, consumption, personal consumption expenditure. give us your take on this morning's data. >> the big picture is simple. if you grow too slowly bad things happen and they knock you down. the only good news is it's above zero. you can look at pieces above the inventories and say we get another 0.3%. we need a stronger trend growth, we don't have it and you're going to get quarters like this as a result. >> sometimes in life people think about many things they never say or never enunciate. let's go there. the world has increased by 67 to $60 trillion in debt. if you look at all the papers being written. we're quibbling over maybe a trillion and numbers are roughly correct. can i totally understand why central banks to create higher pricing structure or inflation. otherwise the debt is too expensive. is there anything in that argument that you would agree with? >> oh, i think we've seen this big debt

not resembling the likes of an hbo or showtime but more eakin to a bundle of programming but it's beinged at the content level as opposed to by the network providers or the channel network providers. interesting thesis. >> yeah. i've been looking at the market capital. >> he thinks he's going have them domestically. >> time warner stole appreciably higher. there was a note today, by the way. disney studios doing pretty well. you're supposed to immediately hear if they're doing well, other than the mow mojis, i don know if people do that. time warner is doing pretty well but netflix is behind of late. >> yep. $46 billion and the stock is still down this year. of course, it has a far higher multiple. it doesn't own a movie studio but it pays for a lot of content. >> i believe they watch their content. that's something we do. we don't talk about it because you may be ahead of me in house of cards. >> survey this week that for the first time netflix has surpassed hbo. among people who judge who has the best original content. >> you know, hbo, they spun that out. maybe that would be somethin

economist jared bernstein, and also with us, the president of the american action forum, doug holtz eakinerica and politicians is higher than it's been in a normal campaign trail, not to mention what we saw from the treasury breaking up that $160 billion deal. why is this? you're right. you didn't mention the fact that bernie sanders went after ge by name suggesting that immelt and his company is hurting the moral fabric of america. i think immelt's response was robust, compelling, he has a right to defend himself. he did it well. let's not miss the point. at the end of jeff's op-ed he said bernie, you're missing the point. i think jeff is also missing the point. the bernie sanders campaign, this is not just a democratic thing, it's on the republican side as well, is that the game is rigged against the little guy. when you have a company like ge who pays a fractional tax rate on overseas earnings that offshores 60% of their jobs, it's not illegal. it's a typical multinational practice but underscores the problem that all their profits they're making are not reaching the middle class. >> d

now as jason furman and doug holtz-eakin spointed out and will talk about here today, our society pays an enormous material price for this. it creates an enormous amount of economic inefficiency. now as much as it pains me as an economist to admit it, however, this really isn't about the money. this is about the lives that we're throwing away. i want to take a few minutes here at the outset to remind myself and all of us that the economic case for reform is really just a proxy for something that is much deeper that we're talking about here today. my colleagues and i at aei are working with the best nonprofits in the country that have a visionary notion of how to use human lives, how to integrate our society better along all different strata of where people are, whether they are in cars rated or free or educated or not. and we've been working lately with a group in new york city called the dough fund. some of you may have heard it. it specializes in men who have all of the strikes against them. they are homeless, they've been incarcerated mostly, they've been addicted to substances in t

doug holtz-eakin on that. former congressional budget office director. do you buy that only citigroup is ready for this? even if it is, knowing what you know happened during the meltdown, all the capital in the world can't save you from a market going out from under you, right? >> citibank, didn't get so-called seal of approval. it was not not credible was very bizarre way you're doing okay. but key for those who failed, jpmorgan, was not they lacked capital. that they lacked executable plan. in some cases liquidity. those banks are not in bad shape. citigroup is not dramatically in better shape. they need executable plans when bad things happen. your point is the right one. if it goes south you can't save any of these large institutions. all you can do make sure they get themselves in trouble they don't transmit problems to something else. that is the purpose of living wills as they're called is supposed to accomplish. neil: many critics on this show particularly those on the left, this young woman hates capitalism what it wrought, saved a lot of it ban
