>> i happen to feel that the biggest problem is one that is hardly my original idea. there is a sense of unfairness american society, particularly in the economy. part of it, of course, is exacerbated by horrific unemployment, and the issues of income inequality and a squeeze on the middle class, and the feeling that the culprits were not punished for the misdeeds that lay waste to the economy three or four years ago. so that's a real problem, and it's one we have to correct, and do i think that's why you see these high on the wrong track numbers, people disgruntle about government on all sides, you see the angriest level whether it be the tea party or occupy wall street on the left. on the other hand, this country has a lot of strength. it has incredible entrepreneurs. people who are basically good spirits, and it also has, in my view, a younger generation that's coming up, people in their 20s and just out of college. if we get past this economic hurdle, and i find it inspiring when we meet them. >> we're calling this the new normal. the american middle class is struggling. the rich are increasingly vilifi
