Missing the Mark on Deficits by Ralph Nader (via Dandelion Salad)

Posted on November 29, 2010 by iwilder

Who are on these deficit commissions? Nader says: “There are self-styled centrists, moderates, conservatives and liberals. There are no paradigm-busters, few challengers of assumptions, no backgrounds from unorganized labor, elderly or youth activists.
