it's all doom & gloom on the m$nbc today regarding the economy...

andrea mitchell ..

'in other words, if you're an employer and your thinking about hiring, and you look at the debt ceiling debate that is lying ahead, the fiscal cliff with the bu$h* tax cuts

C-SPAN showed it live in its entirety, about fifteen minutes longer.
