"Romney and Manchin Propose Commission to Stabilize US Debt"
Senators Mitt Romney and Joe Manchin have introduced a bill to create a bipartisan commission aimed at stabilizing the US national debt. The proposed commission, consisting of lawmakers and outside experts, would produce a report by May 2025 outlining specific steps to stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio and improve federal trust fund solvency. The bill has garnered support from a group of senators across party lines. Critics argue that a debt commission is unnecessary and could jeopardize programs like Social Security, while fiscal conservatives see it as an opportunity to address the country's fiscal challenges.
