You have a deficit commission so you can blame someone else for recommending higher taxes. You make sure to get some rinos or clueless republicans on it so you can claim its Bi-Partisan.

......someone has to make a decision, it ain’t gonna come from Dumbo. He knows how to take other people’s money and make promises.....that’s it. Oh yeah, he can screw up industry,finance,and health and generally **** up a country.

Don't get me wrong, I am very glad I don't speak German. That being said, didn't the "Greatest Generation" give us FDR socialism and 14 trillion in debt? Of course we can blame the Baby Boomer me generation, but they are just cashing in on a system their parents built. I see nothing great in charging your life on your grandkids credit card.

A deficit commission is another way of not having to take any blame for the dire straights we find ourselves in.

The Republicans need to present a balanced budget for 2012. Not a penny in deficit. Obama can reject it if he wants, but that will make the government shut down. And it should stay shutdown until Obama signs the budget. Don't even bother discussing or negotiating -- the budget is on your desk. Sign it. It's all on him.

But I see the GOP as 50% of the problem here, so this won't happen.

Democrats in Congress are screeching about having to reduce spending any lower than 99.72% of current levels. That doesn’t bode well for serious discussions of entitlement reform.

Nor does Republican crowing about reducing spending to 98.4% of current levels. Any serious discussions will have to cut a lot more than that.
