In a rare bipartisan move, Republicans and Democrats joined together yesterday to reject a plan supported by President Obama to create a bipartisan deficit commission. The commission would have made economic recommendations to the Senate, which would have been subjected to an up or down vote. Republicans feared that the deficit working group might suggest raising taxes, and the Democrats feared that it might recommend cutting social programs, while both parties were united in their fear that it might end gridlock. Also too, Politico suggests that "top Republicans feared it would help Democrats extricate themselves from a difficult debt-ceiling bill," although this theory is so obviously insane that one could be forgiven for believing that Politico simply plucked it out of it's journalistic ass. |
