Simpson was co-chair of the president's Debt Commission, which was charged with recommending a plan for dealing with the national debt. He was chiding congressmen who want to do it by attacking small-time savings, like earmarks, fraud, waste and other minor contributions without tackling Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and Defense.
Without addressing those "big four," Simpson says, "anything else is just"
"a sparrow belch in the midst of a typhoon."
What a great line !
