The political cost of the debt deal
With the debt deal in place, our Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich looks to what the political costs may be – and what groups have been pitted against each other for 2012. (Troops vs. Medicare? Wealthy Americans vs. Troops?) How will this debate play out for the Republican presidential candidates? Plus, what will we see before 2012, when the next deficit reduction package has to pass in the fall of this year?
