Why do we need a fricking ‘PANEL’???
Why can’t the President (and Congress-critters) finally ‘MAN-UP’ and CUT the bloated government???
“Why do we need a fricking ‘PANEL’???”
To pass tax increases as bi-partisan.
It’s because they want someone else to decide, and then they don’t have to make the hard decisions... except stacking the deck in choosing who is on the panel.
It's for show only. To show people that yeah, we are just as concerned about the deficit as you are and we are doing something about it. It's no different from the "jobs summit" or any of the other summits Obama's held. A bunch of people will sit and chat at a table in front of cameras with bottled water in front of them, they will chat for a whole day, maybe several, and then come out and tell the media "ok, we have solved the deficit problem". And when the left talks of controlling deficits, be alarmed. Very alarmed. Look no further than Patterson - $1B in new taxes !
