the democrats and the president and jack lew as treasury secretary are saying, this sounds familiar, raise taxes on the wealthy. spend more money on investments and things like infrastructure, education, clean energy, manufacturing, to boost the middle class. republicans say we've heard this all before. we've spent $800 billion in the stimulus. it hasn't worked. real median household income has actually fallen during the recovery since the recession enlded in 2009. they say get government out of the way. lower taxes. less regulation. let business be the generator of growth. so it's an old argument, but we're going to see it renewed with new fury in the next month or so. once again we're bumping up against one of those deadlines for the government to run out of money. >> man, oh, man, if we did this in our house, you know, credit card company would be after us. what do we do? you've got the debt ceiling. they keep on expanding that. we have these fiscal cliffs. we're running up to 2014 where this certainly will be an argument then. >> it absolutely will be an argument. i will say that

jack lew's got it wrong and ben bernanke's got it wrong. got to do just the reverse. got to bring money back into being scarce and bring tax rates down and broaden the base dramatically and you've got to literally get government spending out of way of private spending in this economy and then you'll get the prosperity and only then, but i think the market is starting to see that happening, larry. maybe not this year or next year because the economy really is bad today, but i think the -- they are seeing a lot better future. >> do you think financial bubbles are pro-growth because i don't? >> i don't think there have been bubbles. i think these have been regulatory bubbles frankly and i agree with michelle in the earlier segment. michelle had it dead on. >> a housing bubble? >> i don't think there's a housing bubble. >> jarred, there was a tulip bubble. there was a -- there have always been bubbles. there will always be bubbles. >> certainly the housing bubble and crash which has us in the situation we're in today is very much associated with the level of deregulation

express's questioning of jack lew yesterday points exactly to that conclusion. it may not be that william wilkins was running this and this was a split political operation but, we don't know that and we don't have enough information to come to that conclusion. we need that information. it is important. it is not a phony scandal. bill: if this, if the house doesn't investigate this story, does it go anywhere? >> no, i don't think so. this is one of the things i think the president and the white house have been working hard to do in the past couple of weeks. they are trying to convince, in effect the washington press corps and chiefly white house reporters that these are all ginned up scandals by partisan republicans. there is really no there there. you heard that in jack lew's answers yesterday. and everybody should really move on. they're trying to encourage scandal fatigue among white house reporters. as i say, i don't think that most of the questions that remain out there have been ends ad or even, we have even hints of answers. so i think it requires further

we heard it from the president and more subtlety from jack lew. do you think the president can make benghazi and the snooping and spying on reporters and the american people go away? >> no, i don't. it may help him with his base to belittle the cases as phony. supporters on the left think that about them. certainly people in the public are fed up about these things. i don't think it makes them go away at all. in the effect, it will turn on what is ultimately discovered about each and all of them. >> chris: let me ask you about that. clearly, it was a steady drum beat. we heard from jay carney and heard it from the president and jack lew, phony scandal, smarted political move? what is thinking behind it? >> it takes the focus off the event and makes it is this a scandal or not a scandal and not what happened and fact it's republicans. republicans with their approval ratings, they could go lower but they have continued to drop. >> i agree. i think it does skip. it's one of those things it sticks for the president. what will be interesting is if the

as far as jack lew is concerned, jack did spend some time at citi corp. before that he was close to tip o'neill, he worked very hard in the clinton administration. i haven't seen any evidence that jack lew was anything other than a major player. one of the people who have some significant wall street experience after his government service was a man named paul volcker. the volcker rule which we were glad to help enact into law and i believe will be enacted in very tough form, will be a great protection. so yeah, you got to be careful about this, but as of now i see no evidence that the people who had worked in the financial industry are being weak. i did notice recently "the new york times" front page of the business section saying, boy, mary jo white's getting tough. that's a good thing. >> by the way, alex, just to add to that, you take people like neal womin, they provided great leadership and source of information and support as we worked through all of this. there are very good people there. tim geithner i think did a good job in many, many ways. i k

>> well, you would have to ask jack lew, because he's the one you're quoting. i'm telling you that we did end too big to fail. here's the confusion people have made. there are always going to be institutions, even if you split every one now that's in half, or in thirds, there will be institutions which if they couldn't pay enough of their debts, that could cause problems. so we do recognize that there are some institutions that are too big to be ignored if they -- if they fail. so what the bill says is if said institution comes up, whether it's aig again, or any other, the first thing that happens under the law is it is dissolved. it fails. there are death panels in our bill, but they're not for old ladies. they're for big banks. they say the board of directors are gone. the shareholders are wiped out. executives are fired. at that point, the fdic, which liquidates banks in america, steps in, one of the toughest bench regulators, helped to write this law, and she then -- or her successor -- liquidates the bank, if it requires some funding to keep the nonpayment
