:I also am confused as to whether this is good or not.  It sounds nice, I'm having a hard time understanding what this council actually does.  One thing worth noting though is that it terminates after three years.

I might be confused, though.

:It "is committed to reforming government services and expanding opportunities for more Americans to become self-sufficient." There are a thousand ways they could do this wrong, but it sounds great.
