for many of the children, playing by the rules is a new experience. one social worker says that's because they've been forgotten by society and left to their own devices. he explains how local and european aid organizations attempt to resocialize the children and give them the moral skill set that will help them function both in society and in a family. something that was missing for them. by giving the children a stable and secure environment, groups try to stop them from slipping into the cycle of violence, drug abuse and fear that many were xposed to on the street. he told me about his experience. it wasn't safe where i was sleeping, he says. i had nightmares about bandits with weapons and machetes. i was scared. but the gangs of children who roam the streets are just one example of the country's struggles with the scars of its civil war. in the capitol, the market recently burned down after an arson attack. the e.u. commissioner has promised to help rebuild the complex, but he's also demanding transparency from the government. >> for european values i think it's cr

neil: they could make a move to 401(k) type plans, grandfather them in, even with new workers but even that gets rejected by unions. i cannot imagine giving the choice of commenting to a new program like that for new workers, or seeing those other benefits wiped out. >> this is -- this is the very core of the democratic base. our government workers, and not just federal workers, in washington that our focus, but in the states, this is how democrats get elected, so it is a quid pro quo, you can't blame the unions for getting all they can, you can blame politicians for giving it to them, look at them side by side comparison, private sector unions, their contracts are different because they are beholden to market forces, if your company fails, you are not paying your workers, and federal government, have an endless the source of cash. neil: and private sector benefits went by the way of the doe-doe bird long time ago. >> thank you, neil. neil: and former nyse chairman dick grass oo knows about wall street come back, and now he talk about whether this one can be sustained. neil: all right.

not only digitizing, but hiring new workers. they were budgeted for 3,300 new workers.t we obtained at the center of investigative reporting show that they've only added about 300. they have these flood of new claims coming in as the other guests have mentioned and they were supposed to have extra people to help them process these claims. but the documents that we've obtained show they haven't been able to do that. the reason is that people, individuals don't want to work in this dysfunctional system if they can find a job doing something else. that's one of the reasons why new york, san francisco, los angeles, chicago, these major cities where people can get other options in terms of jobs, they're not stacking up even though a lot of new people are coming forward. >> aaron stay with us. there's more on this. i want to talk both about the emotional toll of what it means to be waiting. but also it feels like people working at the va are good people, not trying to withhold benefits. fixing this is more than a matter of getting the bad people out and the good people in. mo

thus, as the "wall street journal" explained, if a company with 50 employees hires a new worker for $12 an hour for 29 hours a week, there is no health insurance requirement. but suppose that worker moves to 30 hours a week. this triggers a $2,000 federal penalty. so to get 50 more hours of work a year from that employee, the extra cost to the employer rises to about $52 an hour. the $12 salary and an obamacare tax of what works out to be about $40 an hour. moving to 33 hours a week cost the employer about $10 in obamacare tax. the result is small businesses are staying smaller and the opportunities for those struggling to achieve the american dream are limited. that leads to the fourth harm. obamacare hurts workers. one of the consequences we are seeing over and over and over again is in order to avoid the crushing costs of obamacare, employers are limiting the hours employees can work. so, for example, in january, a wendy's franchise in nebraska announced it would cut the hours of nonmanagement employees to 28 hours a week. as a result, about 100 employees' hours were cut. that's a di

hiring new workers and bringing back jobs to america.that washington should do is get in the way. that is what the cuts to education, defense and research will do. it's unnecessary and in a time when too many of our friends and neighbors are still looking for work. it's inexcusable. >> the president paints a dire picture, but could the cuts tip the economy back to a recession. we have more from washington. >> this is the key question, if you take $85 billion out of the discretionary spending. just the spending, is that enough to tip our economy in to a big problem. because you think it's a kind of small number. is that enough though to create another recession? let's look at the evidence and see what we can find. gross domestic product was not growing much at the end of last year. it's moved up a tiny, tiny bit. not enough to make it a positive indicator. but not low enough to call it a negative right now. so we will call it sort of neutral. employment we know has been a problem. it has not been getting worse. but it also has not been ge
