Party First: Obama Campaign Co-Chair Says Democrats Should Prevent 'Grand Bargain' on Deficit


At the "Take Back the American Dream" conference on June 18, Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), in addition to saying Democrats would raise taxes on the wealthy after the election, advised that Democrats should put the short term interests of their party over those of the country by not compromising with Republicans on any "grand bargain" deal on spending and the debt before the election.
