[quote=Djshakes]I don’t understand the vote regarding the commission members. They complied the report together but not all of them voted on it? The specifically word it in regards to being bi-partisan yet it was partisan in approval?[/quote] http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/dec/3/debt-panel-fails-test-vote/
Apparently it passed with a bipartison majority, but not the needed super majority. 11 of the 18 member commission voted for it.
The 7 that voted against it were bipartison… 3 republican elected officials, 3 democratic elected officials, and Andrew Stern, who is presumably a Dem since he was head of the SEIU in the past. (But I don’t know for sure… just a reasonable guess.)
