Republican Congressional leaders have announced their appointees to the President's new deficit reduction working group. The group, chaired by Vice President Joe Biden, is supposed to consist of 16 members. It doesn't look like the group will end up being that large, however. For those Members of Congress who have been appointed, how do they look from a taxpayer perspective? The table below looks at the group, as currently announced, and their latest scores from NTU's Rating of Congress.
Meetings are supposed to start on May 5th.
