Default crisis, loss, hope, repeat

pardon my cynicism. we have seen the 9/11 Commission, the Commission to Strengthen Social Security, the Iraq Study Group, the Intelligence Commission, the National Commission on Energy Policy, and the Tax Reform Commission.

a "bipartisan commission" has become a euphemism for the absence of leadership on a given issue.

generic quote from one of the above - could be from any of them.
