We'll go, get a few cuts until January of '13 then do the big $4 trillion cut. I would pass a longer term extension of the debt ceiling. how long? One and a half to two years. I would do as much cutting as can be agreed upon right now. I would put in place a bipartisan congressional committee that like the base closings is an up or down vote and if it can't pass then revert to McConnell and let the president propose a plan that two thirds of both houses have to overturn. I would set the bar at $4 trillion and if the congress can't do it let the president do it, whoever the president might be...." -- Ralph Schlosstein, BlackRock co-founder.
