it s certainly time to have that debate and attach another question to suzy s in terms of private contractors, some 70% of our national security program budget goes to these private contractors. there is evidence that they cost a lot more for the government than simply government employees are performing this kind of job. so there are a lot of budget concerns and in an era of awe sist austerity, what rules do they play by? this is a conversation we need to have, in addition to government surveillance and how far the government can go. so when we talk about for you hard the government can go, right now, anybody that is in washington, d.c. and that has been in washington, d.c. for a long enough time recognizes the fact that the patriot act is just a way of life now. are we looking at elected leaders who want to say that while transparency is good, so is the fact that we have beefed up our national security forces

About world affairs. thank you, eric. of course. to washington now. president obama reaching out in a huge way this week in an attempt to thaw the frosty relationship between the white house and republicans on capitol hill. on wednesday the president dined with a dozen gop rank-and-file, the senators, and the following day he met with house budget committee chairman paul ryan, the 2012 republican vice-presidential nominee. is this what s needed to end the gridlock and bring bi-partisanship back to washington? joining us now, national magazine author of who s counting. good morning, john. thank you. thanks. is this what s needed? what do you make of the fact that they re dining and not just whining, and i mean whine, over budget concerns. there s a long tradition in washington of breaking bread over a meal and having some misunderstandings cleared up over a dinner or lunch. this is a good first start, but
Term agenda like immigration reform. boehner, though, calls the sudden outreach a 180 and suggests it may have little impact. i m hopeful that something will come out of it, but if the president continues to insist on tax hikes i don t think we are going to get very far. reporter: administration officials think republicans are celebrating too early on sequester, because it s having a big impact in states that have not yet been felt here in washington. asf a big budget deal, the president s plan was supposed to be unveiled in february. that has slid to march now. we are hearing it won t come until april. chris? chris: thank you. about an hour ago, the army suspended its tuition assistance program because of sequester-related budget concerns. soldiers will be allowed to complete current courses, but can t sign up for new ones. the marine corps made a similar move last weekend. the navy and air force tell the armed forces press service they expect to announce their decisions next we
Spending. thank you for your ininsight. thank you. bob woodward is it blasting president obama for letting sequestration cuts to affect national defense. the president s decision not to deploy a aircraft carrier because of budget concerns thoored to be under the constitution, the president is commander in chief and and employs the force. the president because of the piece of paper and agreement. i can t do what i need to do to protect the country, that is it a kind of madness that i haven t seen in a long time. some are taking it as a reference to richard nixon. it is it a running dispute between him and the white house. turning to a big story
Call for more public spending offset by savings and new revenue. the president s decision to shift focus back to the economy isn t surprising when you take a look at public polling. the economy, jobs, and the budget deficit are at the top of the list for budget concerns. legal immigration and strengthening gun laws ranks 17th and 18th respectively. the new strategy may reflect a decision to strike while republicans are on their heels and plagued by internal conflict. for the third year in a row, the gop will not present a unified front in their response to the state of the union. in 2011 when the republican party chose paul ryan to give its official response, the tea party issued its own rebuttal. instead of cutting, we saw an unprecedented explosion of government spending and debt. it was unlike anything we ve ever seen before in the history of the country. last year a gop response by mitch daniels had competition from the herminator.
