House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was the last to announce her three choices to complete the group of 12 lawmakers charged with shaving at least $1.5 trillion in spending between fiscal years 2012 and 2021. Her three, Reps. James Clyburn, D-S.C., Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. join those tapped by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. We bring you the tapped 12: Let the trimming begin!
