Consultant Panel on Social Security, 1975-1976 A friend emails me a list of commissions dealing with Social Security, entitlement reform and other issues, along with links to their reports. This is a very helpful reference for what's come before. It's unclear what will happen with President Obama's plan to commission a commission on his own rather than rely on stalled Congressional legislation. While I'm generally favorable toward a commission approach, all other options seeming exhausted, it's not clear what chance a presidentially-appointed commission has when Congress has just refused to appoint one itself. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/reports/hsiao/hsiaoIntro.html The National Commission on Social Security, 1977-1981 http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/reports/80commission.html National Commission on Social Security Reform (Greenspan Commission), 1981-1983 http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/reports/gspan.html President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control (Grace Commission), 1982-1984 http://www.uhuh.com/taxstuff/gracecom.htm President's Commission on Privatization, 1987-1988 http://openlibrary.org/b/OL2149663M/Report_of_the_President's_Commission_on_Privatization National Economic Commission, 1987-1989 http://openlibrary.org/b/OL1812227M/National_Economic_Commission Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform (Kerrey-Danforth Commission), 1993-1995 http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/reports/KerreyDanforth/KerreyDanforth.htm Advisory Council on Social Security, 1994-1996 http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/reports/adcouncil/ Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Building a Better Future: The Graying of America Project, 1997 http://crfb.org/document/building-better-future-graying-america-project-part-1 President's Commission to Study Capital Budgeting, 1997-1999 http://clinton3.nara.gov/pcscb/ The 21st Century Retirement Security Plan: The National Commission on Retirement Policy Final Report, Center for Strategic and International Studies,(Gregg-Breaux / Kolbe-Stenholm Commission), 1998-1999 http://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell.edu/institutes/7/ National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare (Breaux-Thomas Commission), 1998-1999 http://thomas.loc.gov/medicare/index.html U.S. Trade Deficit Review Commission, 1998-2000 http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/tdrc/index.html President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security, 2001 http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/csss/index.htm http://www.socialsecurity.gov/history/reports/pcsss/pcsss.html President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform, 2005 http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/taxreformpanel/ Committee for Economic Development, The Emerging Budget Crisis: Urgent Fiscal Choices, 2005 http://www.ced.org/images/library/reports/budget/report_budget2005.pdf Pew-Peterson Commission on Budget Reform, Red Ink Rising: A Call to Action to Stem the Mounting Federal Debt, 2009 http://www.pewtrusts.org/our_work_detail.aspx?id=604 Committee on the Fiscal Future of the United States; National Research Council and the National Academy of Public Administration, 2010

Wow!
Well you have to give Social Security 'reformers' credit for persistence, among the private labels I like to apply I have to admit that 'quitter' isn't even in the running.
Somewhere Alf Landon is smiling down and yelling "Don't give up the fight boys!"
