Dean Baker again points out that if we can get health care costs down and in line with the other wealthy countries, our deficit would be pretty much fixed. The Center for Economic and Policy Research has a nifty chart showing. http://www.cepr.net/calculators/hc/hc-calculator.html
This Deficit Commission is a joke. If we have to have these self serving silly commissions, it should have been a “Jobs Commission”.
