Pressure is growing on the White House to fire one of President Obama's co-chairmen of his deficit commission after he sent a verbally abusive e-mail to a seniors advocate last week - and opponents warn he had discredited the entire commission's work.
The co-chairmen of President Obama's debt and deficit commission, Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, recently warned that our country's current fiscal path - primarily the cost of entitlements - unless reversed, "will destroy the country from within." Given such an ominous prophecy, it is almost certain that Social Security, the country's largest entitlement, will go under the government's budget knife.
The heads of President Obama's national debt commission are painting a gloomy picture as the nation struggles to get its spending under control.
