Coming Up Exclusive: Peter Orszag and Eric Cantor; Karl Rove Joins Roundtable
Exclusive with OMB Director Peter Orszag; then Republican whip Eric Cantor.
Feb. 26, 2009 — -- Our exclusive guests on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" Sunday: Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag and then, Republican Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va.
Plus, Karl Rove, former adviser to President Bush, joins the Roundtable this Sunday.
This week, President Barack Obama unveiled a proposed $3.5-trillion budget for the coming fiscal year. It's a staggering figure that Obama said discards "dishonest" accounting practices of the past.
Orszag is the man crunching the numbers. We'll talk to him about the president's proposed budget policies, and the nation's rising debt.
Orszag said this week that Obama has inherited "a pair of trillion-dollar deficits." One -- the U.S. economy's shortfall and the other -- the budget deficit.
Congressional Republicans have blasted Obama's budget, arguing it contains excessive spending, tax increases, and that Democrats are spending "imaginary money."
George will talk specifics with Cantor, a rising star of the GOP.
Plus, we have an explosive Roundtable planned -- Karl Rove, former adviser to President George Bush; Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation; Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg; and ABC's George Will.
