>>neil: what do you think of what they were doing then including senator senator obama voted against it. >>guest: the debt ceiling was raised. >>neil: and the same things were said in reverse. >>guest: but the republicans voted for it and the two wars that were off budget, they voted for prescription medicare drug plan that was off budget and for the bush tax cuts and the biggest expenses--. >>neil: as did democrats. >>guest: predominantly republicans. what we are talking about is paying the debt. >>neil: listen to this, they say these goes are still doing the blame game, bringing up george bush, when do you guys let go of bush? when do you put the bush thing away? >>guest: i don't about. the issue is--. >>neil: he is out of office going on a few years, let go. let go. >>guest: because the republican congress from 2000 to 2006 supported his policies and now the same people--. >>neil: as did a majority democrats and played the same game and the same games on budget by not submitting one over the last 800 plus days. i am saying republicans are hardly saints but you cannot say, your coll

with all of these 30 billion dollars of housing tax credits, not including possibly the fraud. it is amazing. >> neilen you take the credit away. o', the buyers go away. >> so we are borrowing for future we did nothing. whoever would have bought maybe next april, bought in april or which ever year we're referring to. we merely borrowed from the future. demand dropped. prices continued to drop. absolutely nothing was accomplished by the home buyer tax credit as far as i'm concerned. >> neil: do you think people have a past loafian response to like -- a pavlovian response? >> i'm not sure. maybe they will buy a home. maybe they were going to buy any way. i think we have to leave it alone. let it find its bottom, do its natural course. then i'm sure everything will at some point come back if we keep messing with it, everybody is going to wait for something and nobody is going to buy or just buy when we give something. >> neil: what happens in the interim? lately month over trends are better not great, but better. do you make anything on that? >> not really. it depends on the product group in that month.

. >> neil: the irony could be, whatever they deal they make even if it's by the deadline, the same rating agencies say, they're missing a variety of problems, includinghe entire financial meltdown and the housing crisis, that little "but" aside. they are the only game in town. they might go ahead and downgrade u.s. securities regardless, even if there is a last minute deal, especially if that deal looks shallow, right? >> well, the interesting thing in the krit-- you heard in the last second. criticizing missing or partially missing the ball before. what are they doing now, they're compensating and people are criticizing that as well. i think a lot of people have overlooked the financial missteps of some businesses in the private private sector and the federal government is at the top of that list and what's missing in the debate not just whether or not we hit the debt ceiling, it's whether or not they're going to be honest and truthful about getting the debt under control because the number one issue is not the budget. the number one issue, at least in wisconsin, is the economy and this is providing more uncertainly for employers. we've more than do
