The replies so far are all about Simpson. Has anyone checked Bowles’ cost cutting record at UNC? If he couldn’t cut costs at a university, I guess his prescription for deficit reduction will be limited to higher taxes.
I have a better suggestion than either of these two. Why not put Chris Christie in charge as he certainly does understand what the problem is and is at least making an attempt to correct it.
One can only hope he wll succeed, given what he is going to have to deal with, unions and liberals at every turn. At least he is listening to the voters which is more than can be said about Washington.
