the debate leads allan sloan looking to hire mitt romney as his tax accountant.llan is senior editor at large at "fortune." >> if the presidential thing doesn't work out for mitt romney, there's a whole other career he can pursue-- retirement planner. romney has gotten what is probably the greatest retirement package in history. even though he left bain capital in 1999, romney still gets millions a year from bain's piece of the profits that investors get from bain's buyout funds, and pays only 15% federal tax on it. in some years, less. compare that with my social security benefits. my wife and i pay 30% tax on those. that's because 85% of our benefit is taxable, and we pay 35% percent on that, thanks to the a.m.t. this all happens because, under our current tax system, income from capital, which is how romney's bain payments are treated, is much more valuable than income from work, which is how social security is treated. i have no idea if romney would make a good president. but if he wants to offer retirement advice, i'll be his first client. i'm allan sloan. >

steven sloan, what is the status of the negotiations? >> we have not seen a lot of progress. the big issues is the unemployment insurance program and how you will cover the $100 billion cost is extending this package through the rest of the year. that hasn't been discussed. both sides seem to be at pretty big odds to address those issues. >> let's take unemployment insurance. what are the specific areas where there is no agreement with that? >> there is no agreement on the reforms that republicans are seeking. republicans are seeking changes to the unemployment system that would require a recipient of unemployment insurance or a g.e.d. it would allow states to conduct drug tests on recipients of unemployment insurance. these are things that democrats have not been willing to go along with. republicans are seeking to scale back the number of weeks to be on unemployment insurance. right now in the hardest hit states, you can be on for up to 99 weeks. republicans want to scale that back to 59 weeks. we need to see if there is middle ground or agreement to extend it to see if the
