David Plouffe on ABC - “smart” entitlement reform and tax reform is needed to cut defecit, long term.
George reminds Plouffe this last week should make it clear that there is no interest in the House to support tax reform. Plouffe seems to think they don’t represent average Republicans.
Christiane asks what will be paid/what won’t if debt ceiling isn’t raised - Plouffe won’t answer - focussed on solving the problem.
Capitol Hill was beseiged with tweets/ calls asking for compromise.
Graham on ABC - We’re going in the wrong direction, but at a slower pace now, with the debt deal. 3 Trillion package that will become 7 Trillion in 10 years.
Graham seems to be “reaching out” to Tea Party with his words this morning.
He is correct unfortunately he has no clue at all what "smart" reform looks like. People like Paul Ryan do.
