Senator: Obama's 'Plan' a 'Fabrication'

Senator Jeff Sessions, the ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, responds to reports of Barack Obama’s fiscal cliff “plan” by calling it a “fabrication.”

“Secretary Geithner has offered no plan on behalf of the President,” says Sessions in a statement. “Newspaper articles and leaks from anonymous aides are not a plan. Until this fantasy ‘plan’ from a secret meeting is made public and scored by the Congressional Budget Office it does not exist. Based on history, we can safely assume that reports that this ‘plan’ saves $4 trillion is a fabrication. It is a distraction that allows the White House to continue to run out the clock so it can have maximal leverage to force through a bad deal in the last minutes before midnight.”
