top of his lungs for jamie diamond cuffs has been my most memorable moment hair raising let's turn to a little clip of that what i can tell about that to jale. jared diamond it was now max this was before the m.f. global fraud and j.p. morgan's role in in seizing we think the client funds so it was a good thing you know so much for wall street how can we not on wall street making millions because i see what's coming. it's not good i don't want to end up like jamie diamond ok this is jamie diamond after the mob gets through with them. but speaking of jamie di win here is an image that was a hit this year and from the kaiser report and this is jamie diamond on the verge of this kind of fits in with the theme of a christmas eve show that's the wake of which life masters who invented or created or spawned from a corrupt lawyer the credit default swap machinations that allow for the u.k. to be the debt capital of the g twenty it's all goes back to bligh and her wicked witch ways well it also goes back to the city of london and that's been a big theme this year as well because without the city of london allowing infinite paf the cation m.f. global would

they're going to pass on to their children a country that has as much opportunity or more opportunity for them than it did for their parents. >> jared bernstein is a contributor for msnbc, cnbc and the chief economist for vice president joe biden. as we say that the obama administration is saying they do understand the pain that america currently feels, that it fears for the next generation, i think americans right now don't want to hear that they understand. they want to see the president get something done. is the president saying this make-or-break moment for the middle class is truly it for what's coming out of his administration or what? >> thanks for inviting me, thomas. i find this to be a truly fascinating moment in political economy right now. this is not new. it's active in the 2011 economy. it's a 2% on payroll. it's not the most exciting thing you've ever heard about. but it's a microcosm. many on the conservative side seem to be preserving the gains at the top, the one group that's done well. you're right, without action, the words will be hollow. and the president is hitting very hard on this payroll tax holiday which

the economy actually has a little bit of momentum now, reverend, not enough, not a lot, but a little bit. >> but, jared, let me ask you this because i want to ask the congressman something about what's going on on the hill. but let me ask you this -- as we talked about the unemployed and those in poverty, is this bill helpful to the economy because we're not talking about charity here. will this bill actually help the economy and if so, why? >> that's my whole point. it will unquestionably help the economy and, by the way, if you listen to the rhetoric of all the folks up there, it's not that they're arguing against these bills, it's that they -- in the republican case, they want to put a whole bunch of poison pills to poison the negotiations. last week we thought we got around that. unquestionably an economy that's just beginning to get a little bit momentum. by taking out the payroll tax cut and the unemployment insurance -- remember, both of these programs are currently active, currently in place in the 2011 economy. we need them to be in place for the 2012 economy as well. >> congressman mcdermott,
