President Obama laid out an ambitious agenda in his State of the Union address on Tuesday. But before Congress can take up anything else, they have to re-negotiate the debt ceiling and keep sequestration cuts from going into effect on March 1st.

Congressman Welch discusses these and other issues facing Congress.

Also on the program, VPR's John Dillon provides analysis of the week's news.
