i'm afraid that's been the position of the labor unions a long time. >> joe b., i have more work to do. joe, let me come back to your budget topic, very very important. we will cover it in detail later in this program, i want to ask you, as spending government spending goes from roughly 20 to 25% of gdp, that's a huge number for this country, as our borrowing, public borrowing goes from about 40% to 80% of gdp, what is the impact on the american economy, in your judgment? >> in my judgment, you ultimately crowd out the private sector. my judgment, you distort pricing for all asset classes, which is not good and lastly, you reduce american competitiveness and rates of return on investment here which ultimately puts pressure on the dollar and makes growth rates elsewhere more appealing to capital around the world. for the u.s. to lose that position is a very scary thought. >> it's basically depressant on growth, brian and makes every dollar of money supply more inflation airy. what happens on the tax side? i don't know about health care. i will leave that as the last question for both of

joe biden, gets a c. for hillary clinton, she got the best grade of all, she got a b-minus. i think the reason here is that americans, i think they are more supportive right now of what the administration is doing when it comes to foreign policy than domestic policy. you have so many controversial things like the stimulus, health care and other issues. when it comes to foreign policy a lot less controversial it appears with americans and that's why hillary clinton gets the best grade, b-minus. >> vice president joe biden a c, couldn't do better than that because? >> there have been some gafs out there that made the news and may be one reason he's a "c." not a horrible grade. maybe he will do better next time. >> i always believed going through school, "c" was not a bad grade at all. >> paul steinhouser, deputy political director, good to see you. >> quite the overachiever, weren't you? >> florida republican senator mel martinez announced yesterday he is stepping down with nearly a year and a half left in his term. he says there's no specific reason, just his desire to move o

of a lost opportunity for them and it closes that circle and maybe can make them feel b bter about themselves. >> joe, you think that's possible? that, as you just said, that something good could come out of this now that this ice has been broken? >> oh, yes, i do. whether by design or by accident the obama administration has played the north korean situation just about perfectly. for the first eight months of the administration, they largely ignored north korea. i and others were arguing for negotiations earlier for this kind of move earlier. whether it was policy drift or arguments within the administration, they didn't do that. as a result north korea issued a lot of provocative statements, took some provocative actions in terms of tests, etc., got them nowhere. the north korean government is now more isolated than ever. it's been deserted by its major partners, including china who secretary of state clinton praised just last week for the role they're playing as well as russia and their neighbors. in this w wkened position, in this weakened transition period where the leaderr is dying and looking
