Here on Capitol Hill, legislators are fuming about being stripped of their power by a new bipartisan fiscal super-committee. But histor

shows that such commissions have been generally powerless.

In the last six decades, Washington has assembled more than a dozen blue-ribbon panels to grapple with fiscal problems. These include

the 1947-49 Hoover Commission, the 1982-84 Grace Commission and of course most recently, the Simpson-Bowles Commission, a

bipartisan panel President Obama created by executive order just last year that included 12 sitting members of Congress. (If I were Alan

Simpson and Erskine Bowlesthe namesakes of that task forceI might be a little peeved that my colleagues are effectively repeatin

the exercise that I spent so much time on last year.)

The panels were often devised as a way to give political cover to policy makers so they could make unpopular changes to things like

entitlements and tax rates. In most cases, though, Congress ignored the proposals or deferred action.

Even the panel usually held up as the exception that proved the rule, the 1981-83 Greenspan Commission set up to revamp Social

Security, was also largely a failure.According to an unpublished memoir written by one of the now-deceased members of the commission, the panel deadlocked and then

splintered. President Reagan and the House leadership were able to eke out a deal to save Social Security only by engaging in separate

negotiations just as the entitlement program was about to go bankrupt.
