I’d strongly agree with the proposal, except it was proposed by Maxine Waters.

Maxine - Waters’s legislation would kill the committee and eliminate the automatic triggers, but would not undo the debt-limit increase.
Huh? You want the debt ceiling increased and insignificant spending cuts????

This will go NOWEHRE.

It may go nowhere, but the entire exercise was an abdication by Congress of its Constitutional duty. Repeal would make it likely this would never be tried again.

Of course, all that bothers Waters is that some of her constituents might get a little less free stuff.
