Keith Hennessey:

Instead, at best this bill makes our long-term fiscal problem no worse, while using up options to solve it. The pending legislation takes all of the easiest hard choices and uses them to offset the new promise.  This leaves even harder and more painful policy choices when policymakers choose or are forced to address the long-term fiscal problem.
