Maya MacGuineas Discusses Fiscal Restraint on ABC News

October 18, 2007

Bush's veto of the immensely popular SCHIP bill heated the spending and taxes debate among our nation's political leaders this week.

ABC News covered the President's decision, and also looked at the overarching topic of America's fiscal problems in an interview with Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget President Maya MacGuineas.

MacGuineas said that "SCHIP is kind of an odd choice to be the poster child of fiscal responsiblity... There are so many parts of the budget -- through out trillions of dollars -- where we can point to things that we should probably being spending less on."
