Decoded, he’s saying:
• I know my hands-off economic principles have caused this, but I can’t admit that;
• I have to pretend I’ll do something;
• A commission makes me look “bipartisan.”

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
