WASHINGTON—Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, former co-chairmen of the 2010 National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform (NCFRR), said on Jan. 8 that they back Sen. Mitt Romney’s TRUST Act to fix ailing federal trust funds like those for Social Security and Medicare.
“While most people in Washington would prefer to put—or leave!—their heads in the sand, the TRUST Act would create a truly bipartisan process to save these important programs,” Simpson and Bowles said in a joint statement Romney made public.
