here with us now, jared bernstein and jimmy p.ake your side, then i'll try to play counter and i'll do the same thing with jared and we'll go back and forth and have a good time. the economy is doing better but you will say it is the slowest recovery out of recession that we have ever had, but i'll say what can any politician, president or otherwise, do right now given that technology is pretty much wiping out most of the middle class? >> well, i think that's what washington has to acknowledge. that the problems with the economy, the fact that, you know, listen, we've had slow growth, we're creating jobs, but they're not very good jobs. well, i disagree with a lot of the policies of the administration, these problems really predate the obama administration. watching there's something fundamentally wrong with the u.s. economy. and what i think that -- we're not as innovative and as productive as we need to be. i think you see that particularly in the decline in business creation. you don't have as much business creation. you don't

jared bernstein who will follow me and all the folks that will come before talking about fair tax policies. where everyone today is laying the groundwork for what a healthy domestic economy looks like. good jobs, full employment, strong unions, raising wages, fair taxes. but the truth is, we cannot build a strong domestic economy here in the united states. in the year 2014. if we don't change fix reform the way we engage in the global economy. i don't care if it's labor law reform, tax policy, climate change or health care or consumer protections or clean water. we can't get that done if we choose -- if we allow our leaders to embed ourselves in the global economy in a way that gives all the power to multinational corporations, and none of the power to working people. our government right now is in the midst of negotiating what we call the megatreaties. the partnership with 12 countries in asia and latin america and the oceana, the transatlantic investment trade partnership with the european union. both of these if completed more than 2/3 of global gdp. these are important, weighty treati
