Rep. John Larson, chair of House Dem Caucus, intros 3 Supercommittee amendments [View All]

[alp227]

Today, Larson introduced three measures that the Super Committee may choose to pursue that would provide different paths to the same goal — reducing unemployment and addressing our debt:

1) A bill to amend the mission of the Deficit Super Committee, to require the Members to develop both a deficit reduction plan and a job creation plan.

2) A bill to amend the mission of the Deficit Super Committee and add four additional members — one from each party in each chamber — to allow for the extra work being undertaken.

3) A bill to create a parallel Super Committee to focus on jobs, under the same terms as the Deficit Super Committee.
