We're all learning a lot about how to reduce the deficit today, aren’t we? Personally, I've learned that if you are the CEO of a company that receive 3,135 federal contracts worth a total of $7,581,183,813 over the past decade, as Honeywell International did, then the Associated Press thinks you are a “deficit hawk.”
Bowles was White House chief of staff when former President Bill Clinton negotiated a balanced budget plan in 1997; Simpson is a former GOP senator from Wyoming. could pick up support from nonelected deficit hawks like Democrat Alice Rivlin and Honeywell International's chief executive, David Cote.
I wanna get 7.6 billion in federal dollars and then get the national press to call me a deficit hawk, too.
