But...now that it does we must deal with the results or lack there of.
The crisis is upon us.
Happy Thanksgiving indeed...
We’re in trouble with the field of candidates we have. If election were held today I think we’d lose.
The super committee was designed to just keep kicking the can down the road.
The automatic cuts resulting from the super committee’s failure are preferable to any deal they could have come up with that would have included tax increases.
“...the collapse of the congressional super committee “is good for America,” and that the country’s debt problem can be solved through the regular work of Congress.”
I very much agree with this.
Gingrich has a couple of decades of experience with unprincipled political gamesmanship that is designed to accomplish absolutely nothing. It’s the mark of his entire career. No surprises here.
But did the members get paid for being on the Super Committee? BTW, this failure shows that John Kerry is indecisive and unfit to be a leader.
The purpose of each and every congressional committee is to buy votes while kicking the can further down the road.
All members both parties should be taken to GITMO and used as water boarding training dumiies.
In this case, sequestration is a very good thing. While that’s in place for a year, we’ll see if Congress can address the spending problem through its regular work.
It’ll be a first, if so.
I am very cynical. This was planned to fail and it is so annoying listening to both the left and right giving talking points. This is just kicking can down road, and no one is thinking of the “little people” out here busting their butts to hold on. I am so angry that about 1000 people(President, Congress, lobbyists, elite’s) are controlling close to 350 million in this country.
As for Newt...another politician, albeit a great debater.
Color me Happy. Sheesh!
The sweet voice of reason: “ ‘We’re going to ask through regular order every subcommittee to find savings. We’re going to do it out in the open. We’re going to it with expert testimony.’ “
Thanks, Newt.
Newt’s got that right. It was unconstitutional to start with and can you say lobbyist’s dream?
