- House Republicans have proposed a real alternative to going over the fiscal cliff. It’s a plan based on testimony given by President Clinton’s former White House chief of staff, Erskine Bowles, last year.
The plan offers the president $800 billion in new revenues – not through higher tax rates, but through pro-growth tax reform that closes special-interest loopholes and deductions and lowers rates.
It would cut $900 billion in mandatory spending and another $300 billion in discretionary spending, over and above the spending cuts enacted in the Budget Control Act.
How do you feel about a plan like that? What do you like about it? What don’t you like about it? - LikesSee All
