There is some positive news for the folks in the middle about several of our leaders breaking away from their political phalanxes to begin working on the problems of our deficit and debt. Of course, the tone coming out of Washington in general leaves me skeptical, but I will take a sliver of hope any day.
I don't have much time to summarize today, but will try to do so very soon. For now, below is some reading on some of the budget efforts going on in Washington:
Senator Conrad’s Last Gasp – Lloyd Grove (Newsweek)
Republicans Duel Over Possible Tax Hikes – Carrie Budoff Brown (Politico)
A rare bipartisan call to share the pain – Calmes (NY Times)
Freshman Democrat Joe Manchin: Obama has ‘Failed to Lead’ on Budget – (Politico)
