Clyburn at odds with fellow Democrats over Medicare cuts (The State)
WASHINGTON -- House Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn has emerged as the
defender of the poor and elderly on the deficit-reduction panel weighing deep
spending cuts against a ticking clock, balking at a plan by other Democrats on
the "supercommittee" because, he says, it trims Medicare too much.
The Democratic plan, crafted by Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, would lower the
federal deficit by $4 trillion by combining spending cuts with increased
government revenues -- much more than the $1.2 trillion cut required by the
early August law that raised the debt ceiling and set up the panel.
But even though Clyburn, the highest-ranking African-American in Congress,
supports a mix of new revenue and spending cuts, he can't support the Baucus
plan because it would reduce benefits to Medicare recipients by $200 billion
over a decade.
"Certainly I've said everything ought to be on the table," Clyburn, from South
Carolina, told McClatchy. "But I'm not going to say that the entire budget
ought to be balanced on the backs of people who do receive Medicare while
extremely wealthy people don't pay their share of taxes."
Baucus and his aides declined to comment on Clyburn's statements.
