This is the ultimate “train has left the station” proposal. If this were happening before the debt limit deal, maybe it had a shot. But that’s not where we are. There were reportedly some extensions of things like the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance in the Obama/Boehner grand bargain, but Boehner rejected that, as surely as he would reject this.

What a silly person this John Larson is, thinking that Congress would create a jobs supercommittee. Why, what would that have to do with the deficit?
