Former National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform Co-Chairs Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson talked about the national debt and budget deficit reduction. The co-founders of Campaign to Fix the Debt discussed their budget proposals and called the upcoming sequestration “stupid” and criticized both sides for failing to reach an agreement. They were interviewed by Mike Allen at his Politico Playbook Breakfast, held at the Newseum.
