Deficit Reduction Committee's Impossible Mission!

In a little over a 100 day time period the Deficit Reduction Committee must vote on a plan to reduce the deficit by $1.5 trillion. If we want this done in a rational manner, more time is needed..

1. August 16, 2011: Deadline for Members of the Deficit Reduction Committee (DRC) to be appointed. 
2. September 16, 2011: Date by which the DRC must hold its first meeting. 
3. September 22, 2011: Deadline for Congress to consider a resolution of disapproval for first part of debt limit increase.
4. October 14, 2011: Deadline for House and Senate committees to submit recommendations to the DRC.
5. November 23, 2011: Deadline for the DRC to vote on a plan with the goal of $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction. 
6. December 2, 2011: Deadline for the DRC to submit report and legislative language to the President and Congress. 
7. December 23, 2011: Deadline for the House/Senate to vote on the DRC’s bill. 
8. December 31, 2011: Date in which both houses of Congress must vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment
9. January 15, 2012: Date that the “trigger” leading to $1.2 trillion of future spending cuts goes into effect, if the DRC’s legislation has not been enacted.  
10. February/March 2012: Sometime in this period is the deadline for Congress to consider a resolution of disapproval for the second increase ($1.2-$1.5 trillion) in debt limit. 
11. Fall/Winter 2012: The additional $2.1-$2.4 trillion of borrowing authority from this law runs out. 
12. January 2, 2013: OMB orders cuts for defense and non-defense categories of spending necessary to meet spending reductions required by the “trigger.”

As a result of bribes, excuse me I meant campaign contributions by lobbyists, the only financial winners as a result of this committee will be its' members.
