a simple advice from a simple guy.

The third person anonymous tip is destroying your efforts to fix the government.

1. I thought it was finished when it failed to reach a consensus.
Is it still meeting?

2. The commission expired after it issued its final report.

Which was in December 2010.

If you don't believe me, it's in the official document that set up the commission: which was only charged with setting up recommendations and submitting a report:

Sec. 7. General.

(a) The Commission shall terminate 30 days after submitting its final report.

In short, there is no more fiscal commission, so he can't get rid of them: he already did.

3. He does not have to carry out their findings then
right? I sure hope he does not follow what they have come up with because as we can all see
now, the sabotage is on full throttle.

4. He can flush the report down the toilet
...then wash his hands and walk away shaking his head in disgust.

6. I'm referring to the Commissions' recommendation of
cutting 22% of SS over time.

He came disregard that recommendation completely.
