Budget-deal deadline puts Congress on spot
Congress faces an October 1 deadline to approve a credible deficit plan. A failure to reach a $500 billion five year reduction could trigger Gramm-Rudman cuts totaling $105 billion, affecting air traffic control, Social Security, food inspections, FBI, DEA staff and most of the Defense civilian workforce. A genuine deal might avert recession, with capital gains tax cuts spurring growth and possible line-item veto reform to save about $30 billion.
