Probably will be -- What we call nonfarm payroll basis about 3000 monthly rate we're going through a very. Sharp downturn in consumer spending Americans sir are getting very cautious and spreading understanding to save more. And businesses -- cutting back. Abruptly very sharply. Preparing for -- here 2009. But even as it happens in Washington. Where it. Right now that would would look and sure footed -- We're going to get help we are -- to get help on the fiscal side. Government spending increases in tax cuts. And so those operate with blacks. We should see. A better economy from wherever we go better economy leaders 2009 and certainly in terms as."

Play from 2:16[2:16]" That's a fiscal -- but the monetary side of there was always money coming from the new government printing presses."

Play from 2:21[2:21]" That's exactly right literally the reservists pretty money its bookkeeping entries in its. Balance sheet.

What it was at the faded yesterday in committing to buy a some underperforming assets of Fannie and Freddie did they actually put out. You know and half a trillion dollars or to be put out lesson that and they've sure leverage at the way hedge funds do."

Play from 3:20[3:20]" 500 billion dollars of purchases. Mortgage backed securities from. Those who insurance experiments and injured. They haven't spent their money but they're going to spend up to -- mount. Invite from these two. Companies. What those two companies underage. Four. Our bankers who actually make the mortgage loans to us that are conforming mortgage and so. When I go get a mortgage loan and a bank. Give me alone -- steps to theaters. -- then. Has -- loan insured by an injured teammate who. Alone from the bank and put it in his portfolio in the Federal Reserve is going to cry. In the engine today. What they have. Supported in the mortgage market it supports mortgage -- another part of it is that there are reserved going to get twenty billion dollars of taxpayer money. I'm what's called the -- programs can be from the treasury. Legislated by congress in October 20 billion dollars.

It is one -- the other it is potentially taxpayer. Money."

Play from 6:37[6:37]" Makes -- the sells -- for the times -- generational whatever direction used to say billion here billion there pretty soon you're talking serious money."

Play from 6:44[6:44]" It's it's your money talking trillions to rescind its particularly its much bigger country -- used to be but the size of all this. As a percent of our economy and the deficits around. Larry government's fiscal side are going to be astronomical numbers. Lira down the road after we get recovery hope we -- remember I'm talking about real recovery in 2000 that. Really in the next 345 much I don't want. Hold on any illusions to a lot of people who frankly right now losing jobs that civil matter right now it's easy job. What's going that is setting the stage for recovery. Later on and then assuming we get here and we will there and the next stage going to have to be outcome we grapple with those big deficit."
