Just what is the cost to the taxpayers of this so-called “debt commission”? Travel, meeting space, per diem, pay, support staff and so forth? Other than the nobamk and congress using it to avoid responsibility, do we really need a “debt commission” to tell them to STOP SPENDING???????!!!!!!
Go ahead and raise taxes. That will be 0bambi’s “Read my lips” moment.
This commission is a joke.

“instituting a financial trigger mechanism for gaining Medicare coverage”
Come on out and say it...MEANS TESTING for MEDICARE (already being used to apply dividend rates) and then SS
repeat the Axelrod talking points, you will hear them everywhere soon:
the Bush “tax mistakes” gave big breaks to “the rich” and got “us” into this mess, this is all “BUSH’s FAULT
eliminating deductions is not “raising taxes”- only “the rich” get any benefit from them
Rich people dont need MEDICARE and SS, thass why the system is hurting for honest hard working Americans, “the rich” need to pay their fair share
Often attributed to Tytler, but he probably didn’t say it:
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
