- does nothing to address the real drivers of our debt
- Politicians on both sides are misleading the country by calling a slowdown in the growth rate of new spending a “cut.”
- the enforcement mechanism designed to force these hard decisions — across-the-board cuts to defense and nondefense programs — will never work.
- And the truth is that the joint committee is likely to be a step backward from the Gang of Six and the Bowles-Simpson commission.
- I understand that Congress is not ready to accept $9 trillion in deficit reduction
- when the flaws of this plan become apparent, another change election will be coming.
The deal is blatantly dishonest. It doesn't do what it claims and it will not achieve anything of value.
