What’s Now Happening On Federal Budget is Worse Than The Fiscal Cliff
|When I was much younger, I helped start a monthly breakfast meeting for a handful of inside-the-beltway budget wonks.
The group has gotten considerably larger over the past three
decades and its makeup – Democrats and Republicans, former House and
Senate staffers, former executive and legislative branch officials,
conservatives and liberals — has changed quite a bit from its five
original members. But 30 years after it started, the group continues to
get together each month to share thoughts, experience, research and lots
of snarky comments. When it meets, as it did this week, there’s more
than 600 years of federal budget expertise sitting around the table and
the discussion is one that couldn’t happen most other places. For me,
it’s a reality check and a source of information and inspiration.
