billion in salaries in 2012. the budget office also estimating it would raise earnings for 16.5 million workers currently earning $10.10 an hour but costs about 500,000 others their jobs. am by the way the federal government would incur $2 million for wage costs for the entire decade ending in 2024 that is because it has fewer than 4,000 workers earning less than $10.10 an hour. the senate is expecting to debate the election year wage bill. it could be a hotly contested one when lawmakers return for a spring recess in two weeks. >> we will see how long that debate lasts. ashley, thank you for joining us. 48 minutes past the hour. there is nothing sweet about this, bad news for chocolate lovers just in time for easter. he sat down with some of the top journalists in the country including our very own bill o'reilly. what has been president obama's toughest interviews.
