you know theed that spain reduces its deficit since the austerity measures since the on set of the crisis. do you believe that there's some lesson in that? i would have guessed that in order to have this kind of crisis, both ireland and spain would be deeply in the hole of debt. how did that work? >> you're right. i think the popular perception is that the crisis in europe is overwhelmingly the result of decades of fiscal provefully gassy. that's not really quite right. it was certainly true in greece where following the advent of monitoring the european union, greece dollars substantially expand the size of its borrowing and the government grew to unsustainable levels. there's other countries what you saw was a very large rise in private borrowing in the banking system and by the private sector, huge rise in private debt as a share of the economy and a damaging loss in the relative competitiveness of their byes relative to germany in that context. and when the crisis hit and confidence eroded, their fiscal positions did deteriorate dramatically but the fundamental cause of the crisis was

what people who understand is that the payroll tax cut that this president fought for and got extend theed is putting an average $80 to $100 in the pockets of the typical family, that is far more than the increase families are facing at the gas pump. so while we understand how frustrating it is for people to have to pay high onner prices at the bump, it's frustrating for everyone, it's the case that this president acted in advance to provide a bit of padding for families and our economy, and this exists because of how hard and strong he fought to get that payroll tax extended for 2012. >> gene, as long as we are on the subject of fuel and gas, i will bring up something that i am sure you are tired of hearing about and probably do not want to talk about, i have to ask, keystone, we know that 11 democrat senators roted in support of it, and the comments made by former president bill clinton in support of it, what do you make of on the democratic support for this both in congress and among former presidents? >> first i want to point out, this administration very clearly showed warmth to the i
