mrs. alexander lived another year and a half after i met her, and though she had physical maladies when i first met her, her mind was sharp as a tack, and her memories that she learned from her grandfather franklin, franklin lived to be 90, and so she heard right from franklin many of the family stories that go back to slavery days. and she very much enriched my story and also my own personal experience. by the way, she shared many family photographs with me, and "a slave in the white house" has over 20 photographs and maps and other graphics, but there were many more that couldn't go into the book, and i hope you will check out the paul jennings web site where many of them have been posted. it's pauljennings.info. but back to this likeness, it didn't take me too long to compare it with the statue of james madison that is here in the madison building of the library of congress. and that, of course, is because madison even as you see jennings here holds a book in his right hand. so james madison was always the statesman with a book under one arm. and it's clear that jennings was proud of his literacy, that he is posing wit

sharp change in the fiscal stance of the federal government which by itself would indeed slow the recovery. >> joining us now, senate budget committee members. gentlemen welcome back to the program, both of you, mr. johnson, if i can begin with you, bernanke made it very clear that tax hikes now scheduled for 2013 could derail the economy, why doesn't there a conversation in washington to stop these tax hikes? >> there's not much of a conversation in washington about really our whole debt and deficit issue here at all. and we absolutely have to start having that conversation because larry, we have to grow our economy and the cbo came out with the same results when they issued the new baseline too. if we let the bush tax cuts expire, it will do harm to the economy growth. >> senator, i ask you the same question because the budget leak suggests that not only the bush tax hikes will stay in place but the president will layer on a millionaire tax, how does this grow the economy? >> i think that chairman bernanke was stronger. he is not a person -- he was talking today about shocks to our economic system and he compared it for example to what happened when there was efforts not to raise the debt ceil

mr. bernanke came before the committee last week. i asked him about this. ando action is taken january 1, 2013, there will be a very sharp change in the fiscal stance of the federal government which by its self would indeed slow the recovery. the cbo predicts a 1 and 1/10 growth. this is based entirely on their current lot of assumptions. they are assuming that contraction will take place. do you agreed with chairman bernanke's assessment? there is the failure to increase this and would have serious negative impact on our economy in terms of gdp growth and unemployment. >> absolutely. what the president is proposing is to extend the bulk of the tax cuts that go to 98% of tax payers. and to let that expire and limit the value and exclusions. the impact of that mix of tax reforms would be very modest on growth. you are right to point out if you let all of it expire and add-on said that the sequester, that would be a very damaging growth. >> you are right to say that a modified version of the sun set would may be help to some extent. he had to take into consideration this is my rebuttal. where most of those tax increases wo
