greta, take it away. >> greta: thank you sean. hold your breath and count to 3.8 trillion. are you dead yet? that is president obama's proposed budget for fiscal year 2011. the budget contains a 100 billion dollar jobs package runs up a deficit of 1.3 trillion dollars. how does he sell it to capitol hill? big problem or done deal? joining us dana perino. the president doesn't actually pass the bill he has congress do the bill, right? >> right. i think of this exercise every year as increasingly an exercise in futility. >> greta: why? >> it tells us what the president's priorities are for the year maybe how they've changed direction on a couple of things where. then he turn it over to congress at congress figures what they want to spend the money on. for the last couple of years they haven't even passed a budget. i think this is a little instructive might be more hype than reality. >> greta: explain to the viewers they haven't passed the budget in the past couple of years? >> they are not able to get things done on a day-to-day pass so they continue pass continuing resolutio

>> greta: maybe we will.my curiosity is i didn't like it when big drugs met behind closed doors last june we had the ben nelson thing behind closed doors. any way now we had transparency today. plan b, what do you think the president has in mind? >> nice six hours of transparency. the end of transparency. here's the challenge to the president, they clearly are willing to try to use reconciliation to pass a bill with 50 votes plus the vice president. >> greta: that sounds more like tough luck, i won the election and you're out of luck. >> here's where there is a plan b, i don't think they can get this done. how do they write a bill which gets 50 votes plus the vice president in the senate and 218 votes in the house? >> greta: the congressman who was just here has problems with the senate bill. >> that's my point this is really complicated. people don't realize how very different it is. >> greta: the two bills? >> the house and the senate and the way in which they deal with reality. and the difference kinds of

back to greta. thanks for watch ing. >> greta: great news, uncle sam wants you! lots of you. the federal payroll is expected to hit 2.15 million employees. that is the highest level since 1992. who is going to pay for this? what are they going to do? steve moore joins us live. so, lots of government employees, good jobs, stimulus bill? >> at least somebody is hiring out there. it is amazing we've lost something like three to four million jobs over the last two years overall in the economy. but the federal government has hired about 150 to 200,000 more workers this is one of the reasons that washington is booming now the city with the fastest rate of growth you see it in real estate, population growth, lowest unemployment rate. government growth of employment is fine except for the fact that government employees can only get paid if private sector workers pay their salaries with their taxes. when you get declining numbers that contributes to the big budget deficit. >> greta: i throughout list. -- [ inaudible ] jug 'tis department. >> at a time when the number of farmers has be

nice to see you senator. >> nice to see you greta. >> greta: after yesterday are we farther towards a bill that is bipartisan or not? >> i think what established yesterday was the president is a very intelligent man he did a good job of questioning and making statements. it also made it clear that republicans raised a lot of issues that republicans think have to be in every health care reform bill and they are willing to work with him on it. the third thing is, he basically is gonna go to reconciliation. i think is a photo-op to get them so they can go to reconciliation which would be an abuse of senate rules like i have never seen before. >> greta: photo-op seems like a nice word for a joke. >> it isn't meant to be a joke. >> greta: why it is a photo-op? >> a photo opportunity for the president to demonstrate that he's articulate in this area. and democrats there members of congress. >> greta: the american people thought the whole purpose of this was that both sighs were going to sit in the same room and consider each other's view points. if is just a photo-op, obviously the word jok
