I know you are looking for a fox recap today, and I'm sorry not to have delivered yet. This was the most entertaining part of my fox read today. It's from their editorial, and has few facts, so I'm not criticisizing it for either slipshod journalism or bias in reportin. No, it's here for the sheer humor value:
Quote:
The left hates the spending cuts, and the right hates the tax increases. Soon-to-be-ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls the plan “simply unacceptable.” And Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, jibes that Bowles and Simpson “propose ‘giving our children a better life’ by spending, taxing more.” In other words, no better life at all.
Let’s consider some of the elements of the plan: Raising the retirement age? Tell that to a blue collar worker who has been lifting boxes all his life. Eliminating the mortgage interest deduction? Tell that to someone whose house is already “under water.” Eliminating the employer deduction for health insurance? Tell that to an employer who is already on the edge of dropping health coverage for employees.

Note how the "left" hates the cuts, but Fox leads with an attack on those same cuts. Yes, indeed. Thanks, fox. And thanks to Rs everywhere for attacking the tough issues, and for their consistency on these issues.
