House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) just named the latest members of the White House deficit commission: Budget Committee Chairman John Spratt (D-S.C.), Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.).
President Obama launched the panel last month after the Senate — behind a cynical group of previously supportive Republicans — killed a proposal to create a similar commission. The panel, composed of 12 members of Congress and various budget experts, will make recommendations to Congress about ways to rein in deficit spending — a concession that Capitol Hill lawmakers can’t do the job on their own.
