Sen. CLINTON: Well, I have said that we might see some increase, but nothing significant there. I'm not talking about doing anything that undermines our investments, and keeps the markets moving, because especially if we have a recession in 2009, you know, we're going to have to be very careful about what we do. I have said that the upper end tax, you know, income on people over $250,000 a year will revert back to the, you know, the brackets we had in the 90s. I think that's affordable, I think that's understandable, and will make a big difference. I will use that money to help fund universal health care, which over the next couple of years if we phase that in, Jim, will bring down costs and get us off of this double digit increase in health care costs, which we just can't afford.

CRAMER: No, we can't. Thank you very much, Senator Clinton, for speaking on Mad Money.

Sen. CLINTON: Great to talk to you, Jim.

CRAMER: Excellent. Thank you.

Stay tuned. After the break, I'm going to teach you how to invest like a pro.
