mr. romney on that. i do not think he has ever given -- president obama has never given blacks gifts. i think that was the wrong choice of words. the reason why republicans were out raise this because, once again, mitt romney shows he is out of touch and uses in delicate language. it was not gifts. president obama exploited different demographic groups to his own benefit. the amnesty for latinos and hispanics, he did an executive order and said, if you are under 30 and have been in this country for five years, you can have a pass for staying here. he stopped calling it citizenship. we will give you amnesty. you will stay here. you went through all of the litany of things. here is where romney felt. he did not even bother to talk to the groups. besides one speech, which i think what a great starting point to a real relationship with black americans because mitt romney actually said, here is what i will promise you -- school choice and education, of entrepreneurship. there was a time when black entrepreneurship at the time of my grandparents -- my grandfather owned a dry cleaners. he wa

mr. gilder, can mitt romney used the phrase politically supply-side economics quiets >> i think he could. in all, he's surviving the vatican inspiration and that book fair was quoted more -- made me president reagan's most quoted living author. he quoted that book regularly throughout his administration. reagan didn't ounce the budget. actually during the reagan administration, there is a dollars increase in government debt overall. he was winning the cold war. but the private sector increased its assets by some $17 trillion under carter we had pretty much a balance budget and a balanced trade. but the people, the private economy was all in the rad. but really not hers is not just the account. that is bad and ultimately too much to his unfortunate. but what not hers is not so much the liabilities of the economy. it's the assets. under reagan's supply-side movement, the private assets of the american economy boomed. so the liabilities became less significant. our economy thrives throughout this period. >> george gilder, a lot of fellow travelers turn the supply-side have look at theory. >>
