This is not going to be pretty.

Speaking in Istanbul at the 25th Session of the Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation (COMCEC) of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Iranian president said that it was up to US President Barack Obama to illustrate his motto of "Change." "The support of both Israel and Iran can't go hand in hand," he was quoted as saying by IRNA. "No change is made unless great choices are made." "We would welcome the changes, and wait for big and correct decisions to be made… We will clasp any hand that is extended sincerely toward us, but changes should be made in practice." The Islamic forum held its meeting in a plush hotel on the banks of the Bosporus Strait that divides Istanbul between the Asian and European continents. Syrian President Bashar Assad and President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan were also in attendance.

The point of the 4 panelists was that something needs to be done ASAP, a commission needs to be established, and Congress and the President needs to follow the commissions recommendations. The commission needs to be taken out of politics or we are in big trouble. Something interesting is that none of the Health care bills will help our structural problems and in fact will make them much worse. How ever their cost is a drop in the bucket compared to Social Security and Medicare going broke. I only saw part of the program, can't find a readable copy, but I came away with the feeling that Conrad couldn't vote in good conscious to the Senate health care bill or really any bill that complicates our debt picture. And that we are in big trouble if we don't immediately start bending the debt curve. None of the group thought Congress was set up to figure out the problems or had the will to do what this country needs. A commission, non-political, was the only way out, with an up or down vote in the end.
