The next tier would be recommended cuts by a joint House-Senate committee made by twelve members, six from each chamber with three each appointed by each leader, Boehner, Reid, McConnell and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

They want a BRAC-type system in which this "commission" comes up with cuts and taxes and Congress then has to take it or leave it with no debate or amendment, probably by voice votes.

Like BRAC, this would protect individual Congress critters from having to cast politically-dangerous individual votes and shield them from the resulting wrath of their constituents.

No more commissions. Period.
