Alot of experience. Maybe too many insiders. Not too many Republicans which is a good thing IMO but not really a bipartisan commision (Donaldson doesn't really count as one. I don't know about Buffet).

I have to say...this is an impressive list

That's a very impressive list.

 

I'm somewhat surprised that Joseph Stiglitz isn't involved, as I thought that he would be very helpful myself.
