Predictions for debt commission

They have one week left, and most reports say they are no closer than when they started. How's it end?

I don't think they will succeed, or if they do it will be for the minimum 1.2T. And that will only happen if the dems cave again and do a pkg with only spending cuts.

I don't think they'll do that, so the commission will fail. Automatic cuts go in. Big deal. They don't take effect until 2013, plenty of time for them to "fix" it after the 2012 elections.

GOP, in their mind, have no incentive to come up with anything. If they compromised on something that improves the economy, it makes Obama look good and we can't have that. But if they fail and the economy gets worse and worse, they figure people will blame Obama and they get the WH.

Not only is that ethically and morally wrong, it is a miscalculation.

At worst, total failure. At best, token bullshit.

Last I heard they were at $300bln over 10 years. Laughable.

It cannot be fixed.

Smoke and mirrors designed to convince the gullible to reelect all the players.
They are all part of the problem, not the solution

Democrats will take back the house in 2012 and Obama will be re-elected and then we will see more change and less Republican obstructionism. Republican party is dying and they are doing it to themselves.

not a chance, who ever wins the nomination will win the 2012 election
