So Obama has his Debt Commission study and come up with a plan to reduce the Deficit.... Then he proposes a budget that has none of the suggestions of the bipartisan commission. Pure Kabuki Theater.
The Hill Exclusive: Debt leaders call for more cuts to avert 'disaster'
Quote:
Neither the White House budget nor the congressional Republican spending plan are focused on the long-term drivers of the budget deficit, the co-chairmen of President Obama’s debt commission write in Thursday’s issue of The Hill.
In an op-ed, former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) and Democrat Erskine Bowles write that by focusing “primarily on domestic discretionary spending, neither plan goes at all far enough to deal with our medium- or long-term fiscal challenges.”
