Here’s a question I have from the discussions today. Does this supercommittee meet though this November and make their recommendations, and then go away, or is it some sort of permanent structure heading into 2012 and beyond? If it is the later, screw that.

or is it some sort of permanent structure

No.

after the super committee makes it's recommendations and the congress is unable to pass them there will be a crisis and the super committee will recommend to appoint a really, really super duper committee that has a lock box.
