-- on the economy but his rosy predictions from 2009 did not come true.

Now he's saying unemployment will be 8% next year joining us small business -- enough drama -- -- to.

You know friend I'm going back to the many -- 2009.

Budget.

The president signed not budget.

It full cast seven point 1% unemployment in 2011.

And 4%.

Growth.

He did over promised -- -- Well he might have been his his comment up 8% unemployment by the election -- could happen.

Small businesses are doing while the private sector is doing well but if we have.

That this type of unemployment down to 8% it won't be because look what he does -- because.

In spite of what he does do the same people that he's demonizing.

Or the 1% those one person owners of the exceptional people in this country.

Who -- innovative creative.

And they are the ones that will drive the jobs.

Not the president or the government.

He's running against them but I wanna move on to another topic which is the brain drain about somebody you know a lot about this now you say that the US is losing its best and its brightest.

That a number of people looking to relocate outside this country has tripled.

In just the past two years.

-- what's -- what's going on.

It's well it it it's because it it has tripled in the last in the last two years in the in the -- -- market of a 25 to 36 year old it's five times more.

Entrepreneurs.

Leaving this country because they are tired of the class warfare they're tired of crony capitalism where the big companies get all the breaks in the little companies get more regulations and more taxes.

And and -- safely as if it's a more difficult thing but I think it even goes beyond that we also know that that 70%.

The the engineers that graduated from American colleges are farmers 50% of the master's degree.

Recipients are foreigners and yet these people would like to stay in this country.

And generate jobs and create.

But they may have to go back home.

Because China alone has 20% a twenty year wait to get people to come into America and India seventy.

Seven B a year wait.

And and so we're -- -- losing the brain power and both of these ways.

And that's unfortunately we need illegal immigration reform -- before Steve Jobs died because he said.

If I get hired 30000.

Engineers.

I could bring back 700 that are subject -- -- -- up again so we got the brain drain going both ways.

Real fast you said that young people in particular young entrepreneurs -- leaving America in very in the -- launch numbers a bigger numbers than default what are they going.

Well I don't.

No that specifically but but this this this data is is is good data and real -- -- resource department does -- it's about five times more.

Now that that are definitely going that it was two years ago of of the young people and 3% of all of all the population because they.

That they're that they feel just stymied hear what the regulations and and and and it's harder to do business in America today and start -- business today.

Because of all the things we've just mentioned front target and always a pleasure thanks for joining us again that I so appreciate -- thank you Stuart.
