senator david walker will happily shake to that cause any time. david, a couple of things i discovered about you. you're comfortable in your own skin, and you can't dance. i will. >> we have that in common. you and me both. >> one of the things i liked about this is you were really with a little bit of humor alerting people, particularly young people to a problem right in front of our eyes. what are you saying? >> they're going to pay the price. they're going to bear the burden for the failure, and i underline the word failure for the president and the congress to reach a fiscal bargain. let's put the numbers in perspective, neal. the sequester is 85 billion out of a 1.3 trillion dollar discretionary budget but over half a year. it's 85 out of 650 billion. it needs to happen if they don't reach a bigger deal, but it's more significant on the part of the budget that's being -- that's being affected than people realize. with need to deal with the drivers, demographics, health care costs, and an outdated tax system. yet congress is out of town. no dea

joining us in a fox business exclusive, david walker, former u.s.omptroller general and come back america initiative founder. welcome to the show, david. >> thank you. melissa: are there like 155 million jobs in the country? how could we lose 170 million jobs? >> we can't. the fact is america is not top 25 in math and obviously washington is not top 1000. look, we'll have an impact because we're talking about 85 billion over 700 billion. that is how much of the budget that is affected but there is so much hype on this it is ridiculous. including some of the assertions that it will harm our military readiness irreparably. we spend as much as next 15 nations combined on defense. get real. a lot of impact will not be felt immediately because in the a number of areas, for example, furloughs, you have to give 30 days notice. and so i think some of the people that are hyping this big-time are going to be embarrassed when they realize that yes, there is some pain but not nearly what they are claiming is going to occur. melissa: it is amazing they're talkin

david walker, founder and ceo of comeback america initiative. david, we'll show viewers a chart that really says it all. while the white house can talk about that stabilization of debt, you could see from longer term projections debt is going to be an issue for decades to come. still above historical norms, debt to gdp. are we not at the mercy of borrowers and our fed? >> we are. frankly the only person with an appetite for long-term debt is the federal reserve. china curbed its appetite for our debt. japan has demographic problems worse than us and savings rates going down. we have trillion dollar plus deficits and also have the fed buy our debt. that's a ponzi scheme. that cannot continue long-term. we have to reduce debt as a percentage of the economy and then stabilize it. >> again, i'm sure our viewers, listen, they get tired of talking about it because in some ways it's a little depressing to talk about this. some people pooh-pooh it. let's take the other side. debt hasn't doomed us now, why should it now. i'm trying very hard to take the o

i want to play what david walker, said about sequester since you bring up the budget issues and the stalemate over the sequester. let me play how he sees when's happening there. >> the sequester is much more likely to happen because of the failure of the president and the congress both political parties to come together to deal with the structural drivers. i think the president needs to step up tomorrow night, provide a framework, followed up with a responsible budget that bridges the ideological and partisan divides. >> he believes that the sequester is a great example of why things are so broken in that town. do you agree? >> the sequester basically we voted for it because it was a penalty we put upon ourselves. people have said it wasn't supposed to happen. i agree. if we did our job, if we took the approach of boewles simpson approach and quit worrying about the next election all the time, tamron, we would be much better off and now saying, okay, we just can't stand the sequesters. we tell the people that we penalized ourselves and didn't mean it? >> right. >> i think there has to be a di

joining me, david walker, former u.s. controller general and founder and ceo of come back america.to be with you, alex. >> let's talk about an op ed you wrote in politico, which suggests congress should get no vacation breaks until it resolves all the fiscal questions. as it stands now, congress will be in session just 49.5% of the weekdays this year. you make a good point. can you explain all that. >> well, basically, congress is used to taking off a week for every federal holiday. they get a two-week spring break. they take a month off in august. needless to say, the typical american doesn't get that type of time off. we have a serious problem with regard to our nation's finances. we're going from crisis to crisis, it seems, every month. it's time for the president and the congress to work together to agree on a framework for a grand bargain. until they do, they shouldn't get these types of breaks. they should be working full-time. that doesn't mean that they can't go home on the weekends. it doesn't mean they can't go home for special events. but they should not be taking off a

i think maybe the answer is it david walker is here he has been vocal on this issue, but maybe we havelook at the best aspects of some of the perfect yet -- proposals out there and take those pieces and try to put together a real plan, and it will be bipartisan. at the there is already a foundation out there upon which we can build, so that will be my answer. >> that's a big issue. the biggest threat to our economy is congressional dysfunction. race have to be part of it to my cuts have to be part of it, the pentagon estimate contribution to the effort. we put everything of the table and can get from where we are to where we need to be. that is common-sense. tugging in opposite directions. we did have a group of the ten of us were making an effort in the house to do similar to what the gang of six was trying to do we have to continue that. what i think we can do is work at a lower level whereby actually passing legislation it might be the redistricting commission will be is are 20 democrats and 20 republicans are working together in demanding a that we put this on the floor. we show up

david walker, a former government watchdog is part of a panel looking at possible postal reforms. >>t come close to solving the postal service's problems. it's got to look at more fundamental changes in its infrastructure, its compensation costs, its retirement obligations and also what it does and who does its business. >> reporter: but there's just so much the postal service can do without congressional approval. despite years of begging by postmasters general, congress never passed a reform bill that would have given the postal service more flexibility to modernize and streamline its service. sometimes the postal service makes these announcements because they're trying to force congress to acts. is that what's happening here? >> no i don't think so at all. they're in survival mode. you're not going to have any post office. here's the alternative. they're losing $25 million a day, a day. they have to do something. >> reporter: technically the postal service is not allowed to reduce its service unless congress changes the law, but lawyers for the postal service think that they have

. >> now, the barclay's sir anthony jenkins and david walker are among barclay executives testifyingore uk politicians today in the parliamentary commission on banking issues. those discussions are ongoing. anthony jenkins says he has adjusted the bonus pool substantially this year. the upping of provisions for misselling had an immaterial impact on bank earnings, as well. they've add in a billion pounds today. they've claims that it's impacted across the entire uk banking industry. and the chairman, he says he agrees with the reserve power for the separation of banks. this just came out in the chancellor osbourn speech yesterday. he says more new nonexecutives are in the pipeline to be hired later in the year. so you can see where the questions are going. they're going around regulation, combination, and they've also focusing a little bit on the funding. qatar came in and barclay's never ever had to go to the government because they got funding from qatar. there have been allegations that they funded the qatarrys -- >> in order to do that and avoid the bailout. >> the chairman says
