It's painfully obvious that whatever this unconstitutional committee agrees on will do little or nothing to actually reduce the deficit but it will screw the taxpayers with higher rates and/or the loss of income tax deductions. Government spending will be 'cut' microscopically, if at all, and we'll hear 'bi-partisan' bandied about as if that somehow justifies increasing the humongous federal deficit while piling on more taxes in a very bad economy. I have zero respect for this dog-and-pony show being performed by congress for the benefit of the taxpayers who actually believe they won't be screwed, again. They're playing us, as always.

Yes we just need to keep reminding everyone this whole super committee is totally unconstitutional. What are Senators doing trying to originate financial legislation? All financial legislation has to originate in the House of Representatives.
