POLITICS - From One Cliff to the Next

"What 'Cliffs' Lay Ahead for Congress in Resolving Other Budget Deal Aspects?" PBS Newshour 1/3/2013

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): From one cliff to the next. Where do we go from here?

Well, to look at the economic consequences of the deal reached this week, we're joined by Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget at the New America Foundation. She serves on the Campaign to Fix the Debt, a group pushing Congress to reach a broad deficit deal.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin served on the Council of Economic Advisers under George W. Bush and as adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign. He's now president of the American Action Forum, a policy think tank.

And Robert Reich served as Bill Clinton's secretary of labor. He's now professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkeley.
