Reducing the Deficit
Listen
Hour 1
The President’s bipartisan deficit commission released its recommendations last week. Reactions in Congress were mixed. So what happens next? Today we’ll take a look at the commission’s recommendations and compare them to some of the other proposals to reduce the deficit. Marty talks with guests ALAN AUERBACH, a professor of economics and law at University of California Berkeley, and DAVID LEONHARDT, New York Times economics columnist, about the deficit – where it came from and what we should do about it.
