Restoring America's Future: BPC's Landmark Plan to Reduce the Nation's Debt

On November 17, the BPC's Debt Reduction Task Force, co-chaired by former Senate Budget Committee Chair Pete Domenici and former White House Budget Director Alice Rivlin, released its bold, comprehensive plan to solve the nation's debt crisis while dramatically simplifying taxes for businesses and individuals, strengthening Social Security and creating up to seven million new jobs.  The Task Force's report was covered by every major news network and featured in lead stories and editorials inThe New York Times,The Washington Post andThe Wall Street Journal.The report is already having an impact on the debate, with the White House crediting the Task Force's recommendation for a one-year
 payroll tax holiday in its agreement with Congressional Republicans to extend the Bush tax cuts. >" href="http://bipartisanpolicy.org/projects/debt-initiative/about" conversion="false" alias="Read more>>">

BPC Joins Call for Overhauling the Nation's Transportation Policy

The BPC's National Transportation Policy Project, along with the National Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing Commission, issued a joint statement calling upon the Administration and Congress to implement an accountable, targeted, fiscally-responsible and performance-driven national transportation policy.
