Huffington Post: Chamber Of Commerce's Deficit Reduction Plan Includes Easing Energy Regulations

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 11:20 AM PST

The nation's biggest business lobby, which counts Dow Chemical and Chevron Texaco among its largest donors, wants to reduce the deficit by easing energy regulations and cutting the social safety net.

On Monday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce laid out its list of debt deal demands during talks with White House officials, reiterating the group's desire to see a deficit-reduction plan that includes cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and above all, an easing of energy regulations.

"The chamber has been strongly promoting the idea that a long-term fiscal solution rests not only on spending reductions and tax and entitlement reform, but also by developing our vast energy resources," a chamber spokeswoman said in an email to HuffPost.

Huffington Post: Dick Durbin: Social Security Should Be Off The Fiscal Cliff Table

Posted: 27 Nov 2012 11:22 AM PST

WASHINGTON -- Social Security does not contribute to the federal deficit and should not be a part of ongoing negotiations to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Tuesday, in a speech billed as a "major address making the progressive case for a bipartisan fiscal cliff deal."

Durbin's line in the sand on Social Security reflects an increasingly aggressive effort by Democrats to block changes to the program.

Over the past two years, the White House had made it clear in budget negotiations that it was open to Social Security benefit reductions as part of a larger deal that included tax hikes. Yet on Monday, White House spokesman Jay Carney appeared to back up Durbin's position, suggesting a "separate track" be used to reform Social Security. "We should address the drivers of the deficit, and Social Security currently is not a driver of the deficit," he said.
