Stiglitz: Budget plan a 'near suicide pact'

Stiglitz: Bowles-Simpson plan will slow economic growth - Mar. 28, 2011:

"...Nobel economics laureate Joseph Stiglitz issued a harsh indictment of the Bowles-Simpson deficit reduction proposal Monday, arguing the plan would slow economic growth and lead to a weaker America.
