You dont understand politics much, do you? These are the only real cuts on the table; no real cuts to any other agency, 2 trillion in entitlements and pensions are off the table . Any real negotiator for "our side" would never have agreed to this.

Lets me ask you ; after the Bush tax cuts are recinded and Defense has been cut 20 %, what else do we have to give them? More tax increases? A VAT ?, Confiscating 401k's ?

You can bet your buttons they will be asking for more..in the name of compromise!

Talk about a circuitous argument?!?! I addressed this in the first reply I posted to this thread:

We were sold this "supercommitte" line of crap during the debt ceiling debate, and I knew at that time it was a road to nowhere. Now that the debt ceiling has been raised, there are those who want to back-peddle on the objective of moving toward a balanced budget and reigning in our out of control borrowing. I call bull$5&t! The Dims don't understand that we do not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. The Repubes and RINOS don't have the backbone to target cuts where they are needed most - the endless gov't giveaway train.

Apparently you wish to lower yourself to name calling in the abscence of any merit. I'll allow your obvious lack of reading comprehension speak for itself.

Nice speech , but you applauded Obama for forcing the defense cuts down our throat without any other significant cuts. ..Or was that someone else?
