Via the Tax Prof Blog, it has been reported that B. Hussein Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform is bemoaning that it does not have enough funding or staff to complete a report by Obama's December 1, 2010 deadline.
Harry Reid has taken it upon himself to write a letter to the Anointed One to ask for additional funding and staff on behalf of Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, co-chairs of the board.
Really? Just can't get recommendations done by December 1.
I could get constitutionally based common sense balanced budget recommendations to the President by July 1 working only in my spare time and with no budget at all.
Give me a break! If these guy wanted to be part of the solution, they should have come into this job with ideas. The entire commission is as intellectually bankrupt as the rest of the Washington DC establishment from which they were drawn.
