NBC "Meet The Press" host David Gregory, interviewing Sen.

I've talked to Erskine Bowles and Senator Simpson of the Simpson-Bowles commission and they say it simply doesn't work -- that either the middle class will have to pay more in taxes or you have to blow up the deficit."

Neither Bowles nor Simpson are economists....so I'm sure why they should be given weight over the half dozen actual economists that they admit disagree with them...
