I called this months ago. The Democrats deliberately sabotaged the Supercommittee by filling it with hardcore socialists like Clyburn. They wanted no moderates anywhere near the Supercommittee. They needed it to fail.
They wanted a complete failure so they could (with the help of their friends in the media) blame it all on “Republican intransigence” with the added bonus of having several USN carrier groups get axed.
They hate, hate, hate America.
What do you expect, with a committee that contains Max Bacus, and that dummy Senator from WashingtonPatty Murry, they could not run a beer concession for a Sunday School Picnic
