BURGESS: Supercommittee needs to put Obamacare on table

| Posted in Burgess in the News

The easiest money to save is that you have not yet spent. So, why not start reducing the deficit by eliminating the Washington spending that is slated to begin in the future but that we can no longer afford? Seems like common sense. In fact, the Joint Select Committee on Budget Reduction could easily achieve nearly its entire target of reducing the nation’s deficit by $1.5 trillion and, most surprisingly, almost every dollar would come from benefits that do not yet exist. Sound too good to be true? It’s actually very possible.
