If we don’t change course, it will happen here, said Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHoyer, a close White House ally, said Democrats and Republicans in the US Congress must take the politically tough decisions needed to deflate the ballooning US deficit and tackle record-high US debt.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIt seems to me that the only solution that can win the support of both parties is a balanced approach: one that cuts some spending and raises some revenue while avoiding extremes in either direction, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHoyer noted that President Barack Obama has created a special commission to help put Washington’s fiscal house in order, a step some critics say amounts to admitting lawmakers cannot make tough decisions they were elected to make.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe real work of cutting deficits is so easy to demagogue that it rarely succeeds, and will not succeed this time, without support from both sides, he said in remarks prepared for delivery to the Brookings Institution think tank.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
