It seems to me that this committee system establishe
d by the debt increase legislatio
n will end up being a taxation without representa
tion issue. There is a good possibilit
y that none of my representa
tives to Congress (both Democratic and RIPublican
) will be on it. Yet my representa
tives only egt a yeah or nay vote on whatever proposal is made. Congress essentiall
y become a rubber stamp of a more elite establishm
ent within government
. Since we will not know what they debated and who spoke to/lobbied this commission
, we do not know who has applied pressure and influence on their deliberati
ons.
Also, it is possible that the Boehner will appoint TP members as they have the most influence in his caucus. This will result in a failure to get any bill sent to Congress and subsequent
ly initiate automatic cuts to the budget without any new revenue ( which is the whole problem with the budget). These automatic cuts are again illegal as Congress has abrogated their responsibi
lity to the American people.
