[Theodore R.]

All deficit panels are themselves unneeded and add to the expense of government. Will the people ever learn? NO

[Thermalseeker]

All deficit panels are themselves unneeded and add to the expense of government.

All these gubmint panels, i.e., deficit panels, blue ribbon commissions, etc., are nothing more than a way for politicians to side step the responsibility of their elected office. Passing the buck is the second biggest scam in gubmint. Stealing bucks from tax paying citizens is the first. The former ALWAYS leads to the latter, too.

They should name these commissions and panels appropriately. Every one of them should be called B.O.H.I.C.A. Commissions, not "blue ribbon" commissions.....
