ted rollins has what matters this week. >> reporter: it's hard to understand for some why 22-year-oldemeka bethel came back. >> a lot of people asked why didn't i go to law school or why am i not on wall street making money. >> reporter: she graduated with honors, and instead of cashing in, she is giving back. >> she is going to be an incredibly persuasive role model for her students. they will look at her and identify who she is and who she has become and be inspired by that. >> reporter: temeka grew up in a housing project where kids often ended up going to jail rather than college. her grandmother raised all four kids. >> it was you need to be in the bed asleep by this time. you need to be up getting dressed for school this time. she had schedules when the four of us would take showers, and when homework needed to be done. >> after attending the eighth grade, she won a scholarship for a high-priced school in lincoln park. it took two buses and a train to get there. for four years she travelled back and forth to get straight as. >> reporter: now where she used to live they have it f

. >> our ted rollins is live at o'hare airport in chicago. d, what does this stalemate mean for people where you are? >> reporter: well, these construction jobs, fredericka, there's 200 projects across the country, a couple of them here at o'hare that have been completely stopped while this impasse continues and while congress is out on their august break. so you're talking about not only hundreds of millions of dollars that aren't being spent and being put into local economies around the country, but you're talking about real problems from people who have lost their jobs, not only the faa workers but these 70,000-plus construction workers who are not going to work and are not getting paid. what we should point out for people who are planning to travel, you see the security line behind me here at o'hare airport, this is not affected and safety is not affected, according to the faa, the people in the air traffic control towers are maid from a different pool of money. so if you're traveling, you don't have to worry about delays or anything else.

39,000 jobs so far this year, and one small business is a brewing company, and that's where we find ted rollinsus, wisconsin. people are drinking, sales are adding up, and adding jobs, and what are they doing right? >> one thing they are doing right is making a product. beer. everybody loves beer, suzanne. the bottom line is that this is one of those small companies that over the years has had gradual success. the company owners say they have been strategic in the way they have been able to build on their company, and they have been able to give people an opportunity. this is jason here, and he lost his job a year and a half ago, and he was out of work for a year and a half. give us a sense of how difficult it is out there. you have three daughters and now a full-time job and how blessed do you feel? >> very lucky. there are not a lot of jobs out there. i have friends that i worked with before that have not found work, you know. i am very thankful to work here and it's a great place to work for. without this place i probably would have lost my house. >> a lot of people obviously are in jason's

ted rollins joins us from the capitol building in madison.ocrats don't see the vote as a total loss. right? how is that? >> reporter: obviously they have to spin it in a positive matter. the.the they want to make is after they were so upset in february, their only recourse was a recall. they threatened and organized and made it happen, and they say just those two senators that lost their jobs should send a message to other people, and other states, too, that think about tinkering with labor laws in different states. they say what they accomplished was of note, and they vow to keep fighting and they vow a recall against governor scott walker when he is eligible after his first year in office. >> and then democrats face a similar challenge, right? >> well, the funny thing about this, both sides were calling for recalls, because republicans said because of the 14 democratic senators that left the state, well they should be recalled. they launched successful efforts, and two of the democratic senators that left the state during all this in februa

. >> alison, i want to go to ted rollins at the chicago mercken tile exchange.ere? >> this is where the securities alison was talking about are bought and sold, and from the outset of the opening here in chicago, people were flocking to u.s. treasury bonds. there was a sense that after the downgrade, oh, no, we're going to have an interest rate hike, and money will cost more for cars and homes and etc. and etc., and that's just simply not happening, as alison said, there's nowhere to park your money. if you don't want to be in the stock market, u.s. treasuries are still the safest way to go. we're seeing that play out here today. analysts think that that will play out in the near future. the only issue is, like alison also mentioned, fanny, freddy and the other agencies tied to the fed, they are seeing a downgrade and you may see that at local levels, too. it could cost the local governments money. the bottom line, though, people are still flocking to the u.s. and spending money buying treasuri treasuries. >> thank you so much for putting this into perspective.

ted rollins is standing by at chicago's o'hare airport. let's start really simply.t is safe to fly today, correct? >> reporter: oh, absolutely. tsa folks are hard at work and getting paid. so any member of the traveling public need not worry about safety. everything is fine. it's all the lost revenue that the federal government is losing out on that make people upset and all those construction workers and the 4,000 faa employees sitting at home today and they're not sure when they'll able to get back to work and earning a paycheck. >> i'm hearing the hustle and bustle behind you. that's a good sign. but i wonder whether the folks you talked to there, the folks who are not getting paid, are they blaming washington politics as usual or blaming a certain party in particular? >> reporter: no. they're frustrated with the entire process. let's face it, this is not something that was not scheduled to elapse. everybody knew this was on the table. in fact, they really haven't had a permanent plan in place to fund the faa since 2007. so routinely congress has sort of band-aid
