candidate, 2012, so how does the debt debate affect all of the candidates now in the race to the white house? larryabato out of uba center for politics, in virginia, his insights later this hour. alisyn: there are serious concerns the last minute debt deal will not be enough to stop a credit downgrade for the u.s. as neil talked about, budget experts warn the cuts being made by congress fall short of what needs to be done. right now, the government has a aaa rating, the highest possible for any country or company. and, that rate affects interest rates on everything from credit cards to car loans. the u.s. has held the aaa rating since 1941. so, what would a downgrade really mean for each of us? liz claman from the fox business network joins me now. hi, liz. first how likely is it we will be downgraded. >> okay. everybody is saying that if you talk to the ratings agencies, specifically, moody's, s&p and fitch, s&p is a little more aggressive than the other two, and they were in essence telling us at fox business, two weeks ago they needed to see $4 trillion in cuts and obviously that is not what we

it's even true for former white house economists like carney's former colleague larry summers. he put the chances of a double dip at one in three. to talk about this in terms of recessions and double dips it's wrong. that at least is the conclusion of harvard economist ken row gof of "this time is different" perhaps the single best history of financial crises throughout history. the phrase great recession he writes -- that's where we are. we keep waiting for the thing that follows normal recessions, a normal quick recovery. but it's not coming and it's not coming because this time, compared to the recessions we're used to, this time was different. back in 2008, elizabeth warren, yeah, that elizabeth warren of the consumer financial protection bureau, wrote a blog posted that sounds prophetic now. she wrote, quote -- >> and that is exactly what happened. when the crisis began, consumer debt to gdp, money we owed on our homes and credit cards and everything else compared to our total economy was about 100% of gdp. it's fallen now to 90% of gdp. mostly through families getting for

white house. >> good afternoon carolyn and larry. the transportation secretary said today they assured americans that they'll not be compromised but this partial shut down is certainly compromising construction projects and jobs. lawmakers padded themselves on the back and there is another one brewing. >> there are 100 that have been stopped, because of the fights in washington. >> the partial shut down of the faa is not on its 12th day. meaning projects like this half-finished tower in oakland and this one in palm springs postponed because of funding fight. and there is 4,000 employees have been furloughed. the federal government has lost more than $200 million. and says airlines have started creating taxes on ticket sales. >> let $1 billion at a time when we're scrambling for every dollar that we can get left on the table because congress did not act. >> at the heart of the standoff, $16.5 million to rural airlines. and republicans want it cut. >> unfortunately, republicans continue to practice politics of confrontation and hostage

there that gives you any hope that there's a turnaround or when you hear from larry summers who not long ago was in the obama whiteing, do you know what, we are on the edge of the cliff and we could tip into another recession, is he right? >> look, it gets talked about. it was talked several months ago. it happens when a bunch of bad economic reports come out, people say it's likely to be the thing. credit is flowing freely and mortgage rates again down a new low. here are the bright signs. demand is down a little bit from the previous month. it's not actually down from last year. oil prices are down, that puts a little bit more money in people's pockets from when gas prices were a lot higher. credit is still flowing. it is available. we're sort of staying afloat. i -- something has to happen. there has to be some catalyst to make people feel better. the one thing that could be helpful is the pullback in the stock market is a buying opportunity for some people and as the market starts to strengthen, it will make them feel better. i don't think there's enough evidence in front of me to suggest we're on the edge of

. >> steve: speaking of the economic experts inside the white house, larry, everyone on his economic consistently wrong. i think if you're going to be wrong, it's important to be consistently wrong because that reassures people. and in their defense, all the private forecasters that we see on tv have been wrong, too. they've been projecting that we would come out of this recessionary slow period for a long, long time. every month it stays the same or gets worse! >> steve: right. and i know you told one of our producers that when george herbert walker bush was president, he hated broccoli and now president obama hates peas. and we all hate peas now. >> i like peas. but i'm not going to argue with you about peas. i actually like broccoli. i'm a very strange person. but look, he's having to eat all his peas. he talks about eating our peas a lot. he's got breakfast, lunch and dinner full of peas after this debt debate and the jobs report. we'll see friday. there's a new jobs report coming out. maybe it will have better news. but remember, we have to create several hundred thousand jobs w

as former white house economic adviser larry summers put it you run a deficit when you borrow money and when you incur maintenance that needs to be done. either way you are imposing a cost on future generations. we need to break our oil habit by delivering mobility choice driven by a national oil savings objective for transportation policy and similar objectives for states and regions. transportation drive america's dependence on foreign oil. we are off of oil when transportation remains a entirely dependent. nearly 70% of u.s. oil use is for transportation. this translates to a 9,000 gallon per second have it. how do we reduce that dependence? raising the bar on fuel economy for our vehicles which we are making good progress on is the first step. providing more fuel choices by making cars portable and a third prong to attack oil dependence is greater mobility choice. consumers deserve more options for travel including a virtual travel. high occupancy toll lanes, telecommuting, technology that improves transit traffic flow as well as convenient opportunities. we need to secure funding a

if you look at the comments of former white house officials, george, they're not as optimistic, with larry summers, economic adviser, saying there's a one in three chance that we'll go into a double-digit recession. and christine roamer saying that we are screwed, basically. >> but they have to be worried because there's so many fault starts in the recovery. and the administration's projections have been so wrong in the past. >> that's right. and they have to walk this line of not seeming out of touch with their optimism. but also wanting to project confidence in the economy. and that say difficult line to walk. you want to talk up the economy, but at the same time, you don't want to appear as if you're oblivious to all the tumult going on around us. >> and the president saying they did not consider any kind of tax increases. and some saying he should call congress back from august recess? >> i don't see that happening. that wouldn't help relations with congress. >> thanks very much. >>> i can't help but think what trish has been saying about the consumer, when you watch the market drama p

economic indicators at that moment -- >> sean: larry summers says it's doubtful that we'll get out of this economic mess through the end of 2012. >> but the whiteame out today and said there's no double-dip recession in sight. hard to say when there's no job creation -- >> sean: we were just downgraded, last quarter growth, .04%. >> another lesson of the debate that just transpired, there are no arbitersf truth in washington anymore. i think the public wasn't disregarding the seriousness of defaulting on the nation's debt. they just weren't sure they believed anything that anyone in washington said anymore. >> sean: you see, look, i have people on both sides hating my guts in this debate, because i kept pointing out a fundamental truth, that if you don't deal -- we dealt with this earlier in the program with connie mack -- if you don't deal with this built-in 8% growth every year in government, we'll never -- >> they're fake cuts. >> sean: that's a perfect word. >> it's like pig latin. only in washington is a lesser increase in spending, you know, called a cut. >> sean: you're so good. >> working for any president, you have to defend a lesser i

as former white house economic adviser larry summers put it, you run a deficit when you borrow money and when you needed for maintenance that needs either way, you are imposing a cost on future generations. we need to break our oil that and national oil savings objectives for the transportation policy in similar object is for states and regions. transportation driving america's dependence on foreign oil. with nea -- transportation remain almost entirely dependent . this translates into a 9000- gallon-per-second ad. how do we reduce that dependence? raising the bar on fuel economy which we are making good progress on, is the first step. second, providing consumers with more fuel prices by making cars pluggable. the third prong we need is greater mobility choice. consumers deserve more options for travel, including a virtual travel i occupancy toll lanes telecommuting, technology that transit slow, as well as convenient and save opportunities to walk and bike. we need a new tools and we are in agreement on some of those toys. -- tools. an increase in the gas tax over the long run, inno

white house officials, top advisers. you had david axelrod, the outgoing economic adviser, the president's former top economic adviser, larry summers. he was actually on cnn on state of union with candy crowley. and all of them were saying in a very coordinated fashion, a couple of things. first they were really hitting on a calculation error that the treasury says it found with s&p's number. what they're calling a $2 trillion mistake in calculating deficits. but this was a back and forth that went between treasury and standard & poor's. and standard & poor's said it stood by the downgrade. the other thing you're hearing from white house officials and surrogates for the president, because s&p really cited that very chaotic process that really took us to the last minute of getting that debt ceiling deal this week, you heard white house officials blaming house republicans for being in their words, very uncompromising. so certainly pointing fingers there, christine. >> and it sounds like there will be no more uncertainty about who will be running the treasury secretary. >> this was pretty interesting. speculation whether secre

that show, and we would see ourselves in that show, and i know white women who can look at girlfriends and see themselves in that show. like larry was saying, we have these very common experiences, we have a unique perspective, but, you know, women dating and can relationships and love and be family and children, um, we're a lot more alike than we are different. and be i think, and unfortunately, we have seen this kind of colored section of shows pop up and movies pop up and music, and i think it is unfortunate. i think it's incumbent upon all of us to keep writing and for all of you aspiring writers out there to write what you feel and write from your experiences. it doesn't have to be my life as an angry black woman. it can be my life going through law school my first year with no money. you know, we have such a diverse community within our community, and i think it only makes us all better. we share those experiences and be not gonna focus on the most awful experiences in this our neighborhoods. >> you're not late. we're just about ready to start. come on in. [laughter] >> right on down front. [laughter] >> had to start it. h

it's not a current net, but larry summers who used to be a top economic adviser with the white house and economist of harvard says he sees a one in three chance there is going to be a double dip recession. jay carney was asked about that a short time ago, take a listen to his response. >> the president believes that the economy will continue to grow, that the economy will continue to create jobs and that we need to do everything we can to enhance that growth and enhance that job creation. as i pointed out yesterday, it's certainly the case, and this is an observation about outside analysts that, who continue to believe that the economy will grow in the second half of this year. shannon: stu, do you find that answer to be reassuring? >> reporter: well, he's putting a brave face on it. yes, there will probably be some kind of growth, but growth of 1%, 1.5%? this' awfully close to -- that's awfully close to recession-level activity. i might add, shannon, that most private economists have been changing their forecasts for the economy for the second half of the year. many of them were exp

larry patterson, and tee scott. i mean, it was all these popular disco deejays, and they were doing what-- the leader of that pool, judy weinstein, said that disco was black music made easy for white people to dance to. and that became-- the most important input on black radio was disco. and so, when you're in the ghetto, and you're listening to y.m.c.a. or i love america by patrick juvet on your black radio station, there's a disconnect, and what always happens when culture, you know, rises above the masses or rises to a different aspiration than what the masses have, then the masses create new, and whether it was, you know, from the jazz to blues to rock and roll or to rap music, it was that they had to create their own, and rap music was a return to funky-- even rock and roll, but funky beats-- and a return to artists who looked like and spoke to the needs and the minds of the people, and that's what t rappers were at that time. early on, you worked with kurtis blow. my first artist was kurtis blow. that's correct, and he made christmas rap in 1979, and i remember that when the record came out, it was successful in amsterdam, and he and i got on a plane-- and i had never been o

when i appeared and make quite -- white military uniform with a big sash session a large sword as governor for life, bringing dignity back to dictatorship. and then as larry said, we followed him as he became the distinguished president of the national press club, so we congratulate larry for his long and illustrious career. there are a few other people, if i could mentioned. my number two son in law that is in the sequence of marriage. [laughter] tom gibson is here with our triplet granddaughters. if tom and a dell and kendall and ainsley would please stay on? [applause] i am not very objective because i think that is a pretty impressive group of grandchildren, all of which arrived on the same day. i also want to recognize carolyn and mark. mark was at my right hand throughout most of this process and was a very very valuable assistance in this and a very wonderful personal friend, so thank you. he is a big nationals fans so at least for tonight they have got a winning record. i appreciate this opportunity to talk about a book that represented five years of my life. i started working on this book in 2006, and finished it earlier this year. i am going to

and we will talk to larry summers who used to be the top economic adviser for president obama, and ask them what it all means. over the weekend i spoke to a couple of folks at the whites&p. i mean, it is -- it's quite obvious. they think in the administration that s&p did this to make a name for itself, to get itself in the headlines. you hear terms like getting their 15 minutes of fame. it's a vanity walk. we will bring these two guys in and say what does it mean, and what do you think is behind it. what does it mean to you and me and the markets, and that kind of thing. we also talked to california governor, jerry brown, because he has a state hard to wrestle to the ground, and we'll get his perspective on washington that is really interesting, and we will talk about the cyber space attacks and the idea that you china, perhaps, has been hacking into u.s. government systems as well as into the big systems of corporations, and mike mcconnell will be a guest and we'll talk about that, and then we will talk about politics. a lot on the plate. >> i am sure there is a lot of politics and spin going on, especially with everything going on. it will be very interesting to h

larry summers with expert lidge, bright guy. he has lost the head -- head of the council of economic advisers. briefed on-the-jobs plan by level three guy from the white house staff during his vacation. it is not just the pr the president is way behind the power curve. that is turning out to be a problem over the last year for president obama, he's always behind events internationally or domestically. this one is going to hurt him badly. i think the impression of i'm off to my vacation and see you in september and i'll tell you then what my jobs plan is, is a problem. so will the composition of the jobs plan itself. if it is going to extend unemployment, renew the payroll tax holiday. people will have a right to say, is that supposed to grow jobs? >> greta: i have a different view of what you just said in terms of the people that have left him. i think that looks good for him. we are in a terrible mess. those people who have been advising him have not led him in the right direction. i think it is great he's cleaning house. great summers gone. anyone who has gotten us to the point where we are still at 9.1% unemployment, clean slate. i think the presid

this white house, former labor secretary robert wright said today if the jobs number was below 125, and it was, he now puts the chance of double dip at 50/50. >> reporter: well, lawrence smellers, larrymell summers, he puts it in a one and three chance. that was a couple of days ago. so, yes, the left is saying, watch out, you may be in for a double dip recession. i think the truth of the matter is we are in for a long period of at least very, very low growth for the american economy. shannon: all right. stuart varney always explains it so we can understand it. thank you, sir. >> reporter: sure. shannon: president obama asking congress to take extra steps to help find jobs for our nation's military veterans. that group facing an 8.6% unemployment rate. tax breaks for companies that hire veterans. one group facing a rate way higher than the average american, african-americans. they face a stunning 15.9% jobless rate. in addition to a weak u.s. economy, new concerns about the financial picture in europe. leaders there scrambling to make sure italy and spain stay financially afloat. in fact, we heard about an hour ago that the italian prime minister is making his second remarks of the d
