Today in Ugh

The president's bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, tasked with "identifying policies to improve the fiscal situation in the medium term and to achieve fiscal sustainability over the long run" and proposing "recommendations designed to balance the budget [and] meaningfully improve the long-run fiscal outlook, including changes to address the growth of entitlement spending and the gap between the projected revenues and expenditures of the Federal Government" is comprised of 18 people profiled here by TPM.

The president's bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform is very white, very male, and very terrifying.

I just bipartisaned in my pants.

This deserves a much more serious post, but I am too depressed to write it.

Ugh.
