Congressional responsibility

This morning the President signed an executive order creating the National Commission
on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, something most Americans will be pleased to learn.

But, I'm in the minority, for I ask the question, "Why does govt always opt for the creation
of another, toothless body?"

Matters of fiscal responsibility falls squarely on Congress, and " recommendations"  made
the purpose of creating yet another commission to
address a problem that should be addressed by the body solely responsible for our tax
dollars, the Congress.

 The American people elect their representatives to do this work.

consistently create a commission  to
confront any problem, especially one involving spending, which is solely the responsibility of Congress.

Time and again, both branches, the Legislative and Executive, time and again refuse to do the job we elect them to do.
