Under the USA Today editorial praising the 'Gang of Six' offers balanced approach to debt reduction, Jim Jordan gives an opposing view I very much agree with.
"If this bad deal sounds familiar, it should. In 1982 Congress and the president agreed to cut $3 of spending for every $1 of tax increases. The tax hikes were real but the spending cuts vanuished into thin air. The same thing happened again in the 1990 deal, and there is no reason to expect anything different this time."
Rep Jim Jordan R of Ohio is Chairman of the
Republican Study Committyee, which is devoted to advancing a conservative agenda in the house.
Go with the 'Gang of 234', not the dastardly 'Gang of 6'.
