The leaders of President Obama's debt commission said Tuesday that they would delay a vote on final recommendations until Friday.
The vote was originally scheduled for Wednesday.
The commission's co-chairmen, Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, said they would still release the panel's report on Wednesday so the members can review it. It will be an amended version of a plan Bowles and Simpson put out three weeks ago.
And the vote, which should have been tomorrow (so it would not collect 14 votes and therefore not get a vote in Congress whatsoever and the whole thing would just die screaming) is now set for Friday. And I'm betting it will be delayed again and again until the requisite 14 votes for killing social spending to pay for tax cuts for the rich can be garnered.
Won't that be fun?
