Conrad Sees No Action on Budget Before Election

April 18 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, a Democrat from North Dakota and chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, talks about his decision to reintroduce a U.S. budget plan based on the Bowles-Simpson recommendations. Conrad, speaking with Peter Cook on Bloomberg Television's "In the Loop," says the Bowles-Simpson plan provides the best opportunity to forge a bipartisan deficit-reduction agreement.
