U.S. Is Headed the Way of Ireland, Says Obama Adviser Ex-Sen. Alan Simpson

Ex-Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming, who served as co-chairman President Obama‘s fiscal commission, dished to Niteside about the current state of the Congress last night at the 50th Anniversary of The Monocle, Washington‘s destination for members. Never one to mince words, the ever-quotable Simpson sounded off on the current state of the nation: “They need to give up the fun and games. … If they don’t get off their butt and do it, we’re headed for the cliff.”
