get out from under the sarbanes-oxley provisions. let s not mistake it for what we need to do for a serious, comprehensive jobs bill for our country. martha: we ll talk to congressman aaron shock,. he will weigh in on the jobs bill debate. and what nancy pelosi thought about that coming up. gregg: well, presidential candidate mitt romney hitting president obama on jobs. the gop frontrunner say the president s policies are to blame for america s stubbornly high unemployment. he was going to cut the budget deficit in half. he doubled it. when he became president he asked us to borrow $787 billion. he said if we got the money keep unemployment below 8%. has not below 8% since. has a lot of things to say but hasn t delivered. middle income families would get help with a tax cut. have you seen that yet? i m afraid not? gregg: romney campaigning today in mississippi and
