RE: This “Super Committee” has until Thanksgiving this year.
Well it is even worse than I thought then. The GOP will still be the minority in the Senate and Obama still has his veto pen. What advantage does this SuperCommittee give other than to re-create this whole budget battle?
That's the whole point...it's a continuation of the budget battle which Obama did not want.
Why? It FORCES the issue of cuts to continue to be discussed with real numbers; there is a deadline and a number target. This is a good thing.
