mr. norquist for coming on. i heard a lot about you. you know it scares me, you know, when you hear about republicans signing up on a great sound bite with the lower taxes. and also you hear obama in 2010. but, you know, let's be realistic and look at the macro of you. we spent $2 trillion in afghanistan and iraq on a republican administration. reagan -- president reagan is held up as an icon. let's be serious under his administration, the u.s. dollar was depreciated by 2/3 in the accords of 1986 and when our country started a 30-year push to deregulate. you talk about cable and electric. you know they are essentially monopolies and i agree would be great to have uniform taxes and get the taxes lower. if we're going out on a republican administration spending $2 trillion you know, our finance deregulation started in 1986 and ended in 2008 you know, financial debacle which we're all paying for which obama inherited mostly under reagan an clinton. why don't we be honest and say our country has severe problems. host: we only have a minute
