Here's the witness list for tomorrow's hearing before the House Social Security Subcommittee on "Bipartisan Entitlement Reform Proposals":
- Ed Lorenzen
Executive Director, The Moment of Truth Project, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget - G. William Hoagland
Senior Vice President, Bipartisan Policy Center - Jason Fichtner, Ph.D.
Senior Research Fellow, Mercatus Center - Leticia Miranda
Senior Policy Advisor, Economic Security Policy, National Council of La Raza - Donald Fuerst
Senior Pension Fellow, American Academy of Actuaries - C. Eugene Steuerle, Ph.D.
Institute Fellow, Urban Institute
The "Moment of Truth Project" is basically Simpson-Bowles. It's a shame that Alan Simpson won't be testifying. The Bipartisan Policy Center is on record favoring "entitlement" cuts. Mercatus is a Koch brothers front organization. La Raza and the Urban Institute can be expected to have a liberal attitude toward the budget. The Actuaries may be neutral, as in laying out the options. The Actuaries "Social Security Game" is still the best thing out there on Social Security's long term financing issues. Try it. You'll like it and probably learn from it.

Urban's Steuerle is pro-cuts. Thinks "entitlements" are old people stealing from kids and future workers.
