how encouraged are you and might it impact the immigration package they re working on? i m somewhere between optimistic and hopeful. i saw the visit between the four senators and the involvement of senator mccain in that discussion and putting that package together is a good sign. and i look forward to that discussion and that debate. i just hope that senators like sessions don t decide that this becomes their to hang up any further movement in the senate and that boehner allows up and down motions in the house so that we can move forward on what i think is one of the most pressing economic security and social issues that we have facing this country, the sooner the better. i know wednesday you have a big event planned there on the hill, tell me what that s about. immigration advocates from across the country coming to one more time urge congress to move and to do it now.
sequestration as part of the issue of the payroll tax that has been put in effect for two years, the cut in the payroll tax, the 2%, that was reinstated. there are a lot of things that could contribute to this. but the key is the uncertainty and that s why people aren t investing. they don t know what the country is going to do. they don t know if congress is going to get around to solving this deficit problem or not and that s why the biggest reason we have a drop in job creation. we have this thank you poll by usa today finds that 50% of voters at least trust the president to make the right decisions on the budget. only 41% sirepublicans are more trust worthy. we re talking about insecurity within the job force. i think you hit on it in your last segment when you talked about the uncertainty surrounding sequester as a factor, but also the full effects of obama care, that
