(Harrisburg) -- The federal lawmakers who will serve on the so-called super-committee charged with finding over a trillion dollars in cuts to the deficit haven’t yet been named. But,Pennsylvania’s junior U.S. Senator says he has some ideas about what they should consider. Republican Pat Toomey says his own prospects for getting on the 12-person bipartisan panel are "not excellent," but, he knows what he would want on the group’s agenda. He says reforming the tax code is a must, so companies like General Electric no longer go without paying income taxes. The senator says the current rules inhibit economic growth. "We have incentives though the tax code to engage in economically irrational behavior. Like growing ethanol and burning it into gasoline tack," he says. "Or growing corn and basically burning food. It’s the tax code that drives that because it doesn’t make any economic sense on its own. So, I think we should get rid of that." Toomey says Social Security payments shouldn’t be touched by the panel. He adds the S&P will have to answer whether its downgrade of the U.S. credit rating was a critique of the country’s political system or its ability to make good on its debt. Toomey voted against the debt ceiling bill, saying its spending cuts didn’t go far enough.
