from k street to wall street, tomorrow's automatic spending cuts deadline has been a major topic of conversationbreakdown of how the cuts might impact you, let's get to steve liesman. steve? >> reporter: tomorrow, a series of across-the-board federal spending cuts are set to take effect that almost no one in washington wants but they appear powerless to avoid. known as the sequester, the cuts would reduce government spending by $85 billion this year and by $1.2 trillion over a decade. what everyone hates is the cuts are across the board, targeting programs favored by both republicans and democrats. defense gets whacked by 7.3%. domestic programs by more than 5%. now, a few things are exempt, social security, medicaid, military pay, war funding and some anti-poverty programs, but other programs like emergency assistance for disasters, prisons, energy, education and parks all take a hit. the sequester exists because washington couldn't agree on spending cuts in 2011, so they created an ax that will loom over lawmakers and force agreement on saner, more targeted spending reductions. it was a crazy

host: here is a quote from roll- call -- k street, remind us what that says. guest:k street is over there and it is famously known as were most of the major lobbying firms have their offices. that has changed in recent years as people have moved to virginia and maryland that is the historic center of the influence world in washington. as far as calculating time, it is equivalent to lobbying hours and legal billing hours. that is the way you calculate them. 20%, to me, i think of it as a monday. if you spend a monday's worth of your time on lobbying activity, that counts. if you don't, and if you are not actively seeking out contact with members of congress, don't need to be disclosed as a lobbyist. host: if you want to talk about lobbying, here are the numbers to call -- we're talking with sarah bryner. the front-page story of "the herald's" -- what is he accused of and how does it relate to lobbying? guest: he is accused of basically favoritism for a campaign donor which is illegal. if he received a contribution from a donor and is doing something directly as

essentially you've got representatives from k street from all various sectors, as well as civil rights, gay rights groups weighing in on the bill. they could have a huge effect on what eventually we come out with of course we don't have a final bill yet. and this only gives more influence in the process because we still have such a long way to go until we get to a finalized piece of legislation that will be voted on by members of congress. >> who are the lobbyists talking to on capitol hill? >> essentially where they're starting in the process of trying to influence the bill is this bipartisan gang of eight senators who have come out with reform principles. again, that's not a bill. so there could be a chance to change that. and move forward. also, we had a hearing today at -- by the house judiciary committee, we'll have another one held by the senate judiciary committee. those members are going to get the first crack at essentially what will be that piece of legislation that will reach the floor of both chambers. so those are essentially the most influential lawmakers that lobbyists w

they know that k-mart and target across the street will get hit wih the minimum wage and they're going to raise it, they know they're not at a disadvantage, where does that cost go to? it goes to the consumer so everyone pays for the minimum wage and by the way, studies have shown barely affects those in poverty and only in fact the average household with a personf minimum wage earns $48,000. >> caroline, let's get to that point. that this really affects more than just the workers, it has an impact on consumers? >> well, sure, it is an impact on consumers and i would challenge the notion that it won't benefit businesses to the point where they will need to raise prices. the fact is that businesses will benefit if ne treat their employees better, study after study indicated there's not an academic theory that you have less time off of work, you have lower recruitment and training costs which means that your employees stay there longer, less reliant on public services, the taxpayers benefit. corporations benefit. so i think you'd be hard pressed to make the argument na consumers are real
