The events of sunday, september 15th, 1963, and the young innocent lives that were lost that day transformed our nation. On that day we not only lost the lives of four little girls but we must not forget that two young boys, johnny robinson, 16 and virgil ware, 13, also killed in birmingham within hours of the church bombing. Today we know that the movement that transpired from those tragic events liberated not only a people but a nation, a nation gripped, gripped with hatred and apathy. With the recent Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights act we know that progress is always under attack and that political gains are elusive.

Year 2035 and clearly demonstrates on our current trajectory we are on an unsustainable path with respect to the debt. It indicates we need to move forward on two fronts in my view. First, we have got to act now to keep our economy into higher gear to put more americans back to work. There are a number of steps we can take to do that but an earlier cbo study also indicated that one way we can do that is to replace the sequester thats in place right now which you indicated earlier would cost us hundreds of thousands of jobs between now and this Time Next Year. That is a selfinflicted wound. That is a wound that this country cannot afford. More people could be put into work if we take care of that issue. Democrats in in the the house have not tried eight times simply to get a vote on a plan to replace the sequester.
