This is the commissions website. You can see the report linked on the front page. It was issued and ignored.
I linked to the report in my previous post. It came from the commission, issued on Dec 1, 2010. It came after the co-chairs recommendation, which came in November 2010.
I’ll admit, I read more of the co-chairs recommendations, and that’s what I was thinking of when I said in the previous post that I thought the recommendations were good, albeit painful.
But a quick scan of the full commissions recommendations show it’s similar to the co-chairs list.[/quote]
Maybe I was just being too technical. Besides the issuance of the report coming after the commission expired, the report failed to get sufficient votes from commission members to approve the report. Which is why it disappeared so quickly, no formal recommendation was made to congress.[/quote]
I have just finished up to about page 20 and everything so far made sense on both sides of the aisle. Figures it got buried because when does government do anything that makes sense. It is sad because I could see politicians picking it apart on each side of the aisle because of party lines or special interest commitments, all while not getting anything done as the debt increases. Our politics will kill us in this country as neither side is going to give.
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?
