Last week, it was reported that a bipartisan group of people will study the federal government's budget and make recommendations for spending decreases and tax increases.

The President signed an executive order to create the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. The 18-member Commission will make non-binding recommendations to Congress by December that are meant to balance the budget by 2015.
