<h2>'''New Heights of Hypocrisy in Latest "Fix the Debt" Ad'''</h2>{{#evp:youtube|SI6ceENcVog|<center>Simpson-Bowles Launch National <br>Ad Campaign to Fix the Debt</center>|leftright|250}}Today, the group launched a six figure TV ad buy that reaches new heights of hypocrisy -- and that is saying a lot.
Former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson and Morgan Stanley board member Erskine Bowles have long been spokespersons for Fix the Debt. The "folksy" Simpson: "For cryin' out loud, Erskine, who isn't fed up with what's goin' on in Washington?" The Bowles tsk tsk: “These politicians are playing games jerking our country around from crisis to crisis.”
