The fear is that the panel will gridlock, and back we are at square zero whenever. How about, if they cannot agree, then each party gets to pick 50% of the cuts, with a provision that you cannot count as a cut spending saved from winding down the twin wars as currently projected by the Obama administration's time tables, since that is already baked into the cake? In other words, no phony cuts!
That way, we know we will not have another redux of the raising the debt ceiling circus before the election. Which should make the Dems happy, no, since avoiding a redux, and another series of votes on this, with all the political attention attending it, seems to be their major concern these days?
Just a thought. I am trying to think of ways out of the box. Light a candle rather than just curse the darkness.
The fatal flaw in your plan, old man.
