As
governors from across the country meet this weekend in Utah, Governor Peter Shumlin says he hopes they can "bring
some rational thoughts" to the debate in Washington over raising the country’s debt ceiling. Shumlin
says a failure to reach a compromise will hurt essential programs and could throw the country back into a recession.
Congressman
Peter Welch says he could support
some changes to Social Security as part of a debt reduction plan, as long as all the savings are used to strengthen
Social Security over the long term.
