Didn't seem to bother the RATS when they did the very same thing with Hussein's Commiecare™.

Whether or not the ‘rats are complaining... the super committee was a stupid plan. That leaves alone the very real question of whether or not it’s constitutional.

Thanks, Boner. Thanks, Mitch.

Hiding behind closed doors may be an attempt to actually get something done, but the secrecy of the so-called congressional “super committee” tasked with finding $1.2 trillion in deficit reductions over the next 10 years is...

rediculous because finding a little over $100 billion per year is freakin child's play. We're spending over $3.5 trillion. That's roughly a one-time 3% cut. In other words, freeze government for one year and the savings over ten years will achieve the mandate. The incompetence and corruption in Washington is unbelievable.

We all know that will never, ever happen. The current congress has absolutely no control over what future congresses will do. IMHO, this is a dog and pony show fraud.

Why not get practical and concentrate on cutting 500 billion by this time next year? That is very doable.

The Super Committee is, has been, and always will be a BAD IDEA. Congress-weasels must be held accountable and not outsource decision-making. Now, the lobbyists have targeted the SC members, so the corruption continues. BAD IDEA and should be outlawed from EVER occurring again. “Commissions” are a smoke screen to buy time, waste time, and provide a place for common sense to die a slow death. Name a “successful” commission where the work product was actually used. Oh yeah, Bowles-Simpson was a GREAT example.....ugh....

it isn’t what people elected members of the u.s. congress to do.
