housing is typically been in the vanguard. usually leads the way. i don't think that is likely to happen this time because we still have an overhang from the bubble years. so we'reworking it off but i don't think it's completely worked off yet. >> susie: so josh, what's the key thing that you going to be watching or that we should be watching to know whether the economy is doing better or getting worse. >> i think it's labor market for sure. i mean we need to get confirmation that the labor market is turning the corner and is really generating the kind of job growth that supports incomes, that supports confidence that supports spending and you get into these positive feedback loops where the spending and the jobs kind of work together and the economy, you know s self-sustaining. i think we're going to get there we're not there yet but we're hopeful. >> susie: just a few seconds left what could go wrong what is your big worry. >> you know, i still worry about some of the longer-term budget problems that the country faces. ultimately they will have to

to go make money, they've allowed it to be entrepreneurial but they've retained the right as the vanguard of the proletariat to pull back wherever and when ever they want. they don't have a free and fair competition with the united states and i think they're very, very much a predatory state. i'd like to see the president talk about free flow of capital between the countries, free investment on similar terms or that it won't be allowed to happen. i'd like to see the president say we're atraching human rights to communist china so they cannot treat their citizenry the way they have and continue to do. i'd like to see a recognition by the president of the united states that the american people who have shaped the destiny and shaped the foundations of the greatest most prosperous and equitable economy in human history which is that of the united states. and i'd like to see him express his principal support for continuation of that rather than his previously expressed support for him trying to create the new foundations of an american economy. that's not the role of the president of the unite
