Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.), co-chairman of President Barack Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility, said Tuesday that he agreed with his fellow co-chairman, former Clinton Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, that the United States faces the most predictable economic crisis in history within the next two years.
Simpson added that the tipping point "will come when the rating agencies find out we have no plan" to seriously address federal spending and the national debt.

Psssttt...Alan. Keep a lid on it...don’t spill the beans.
