as senator enzi just pointed out, our problem in america is twofold. one we have a global security crisis and a financial crisis. i'm using the word crisis in both because the world has never been more dangerous in my lifetime. today we have $22 trillion of debt. let me put a little history behind that. in the year 2000 we had $6 trillion on about a $12 trillion economy. at the end of president bush's time, then it went to $10 trillion of debt. again on something like a 14 or $15 trillion economy. under president obama, at the end of his, it went to 20. under that administration, this government doubled america areas debt to $20 trillion. now after just a couple of years of president trump, we now are at $22 trillion. the projection is very draconian over the next decade. even though by growing the economy in the last couple of years, the president trump administration has actually lowered the debt curve by an estimate that the c.b.o. says of about $3 trillion over the next decade. but that's not good enough. it's only a fraction of our problem. this c

thank you, senator enzi, and thank you, mr.calia, for your willingness to serve and meeting with me yesterday. >> my pleasure. >> i enjoyed meeting with you as well. i want to talk a little bit about nevada and nevada's test site where we're responsible for the partial integrity of our nuclear arsenal. so the department of energy employs occupational illness compensation program. what it does is provide services to former energy employees like nevada's nuclear test site workers and compensation for work-related illnesses developed as a result of an exposure to radiation and toxic substances. these hardworking americans have sacrificed and served our country by working at test sites and other locations that are essential to defending our nation from attack. so i have a deeper question, so i'm just going to ask this yes or no. are you aware of this program at the department of labor? >> i am. i think it used to go by the name of -- >> it's a hard acronym. >> i couldn't spell that acronym, but i think i can pronounce it, but it wa

senator enzi karen ross l mike ron johnson have responsibly of an investigation into joe biden and his, hunter's, business dealings in ukraine. senator graham says there are questions which demand answers. >> we will cut off all aid, there is a conflict if your son is on the board of a company being investigated. i think that somebody should look into it. >> harris: great to see you today. we just saw the president really fired up as he was getting off of air force one and about to board during want to go back to the white house. this is the backdrop, the fight back against these charges and that was that whistle-blower complaint. the next step is with dominic if they look at joe biden and his relationship with his son and ukraine. >> i disagree with the president's assertion that his phone call, the rough transcript of which was released yesterday, was a perfectly acceptable call. i think the call was grossly inappropriate and the involvement of rudy giuliani, the president's personal lawyer, in this shuttle diplomacy, suggests that this wasn't all on the up and up. there are mechanis

elsa: an interesting question because the difference between a liquidity problem and solve enzi problem cut as you might think. if you think back to the euro, had this been not purchased assets we night have found the solvency issue become more real with bankruptcies and the like and giving time for these issues to be revolved have had a beneficial effect for the likes of spain and even now greece. the question is what policymakers do with the time that allows? francine: elsa, how do these european economies deal with negative rates, does it distort economies making it more difficult for people to feel the real benefits? elsa: i had this conversation with a policymaker and he said nobody said the risk-free rate should be higher and positive and if banks are doing what they're supposed to do and take risks and lend further out long term or further out the credit cards they'd be making some money. the e.c.b. i think is sensitive to the impact on banks and talking about tiered depot rates. but in forms of the real economy it's a good thing. francine: thank you so much. stay with bloomberg
