Former Clinton official named to debt commission
WASHINGTON — Former Clinton administration official Bruce Reed will serve as executive director of President Barack Obama’s bipartisan debt panel.
As chief domestic policy adviser under former President Bill Clinton, Reed helped write the 1996 welfare reform law and worked on Clinton’s education agenda. He currently serves as chief executive officer of the Democratic Leadership Council.
Obama established the debt commission in February to find a way to get the country’s massive budget deficit under control. The 18-member commission is charged with finding a plan by Dec. 1 to reduce the annual deficits to 3 percent of the national economy by 2015.
