The failure to "compromise" may, in fact, be the greatest success of the Super Committee.

[who knows what evil?]

Chuck Woolery's 'simian super committee' came up with the budget cuts in just a few minutes.

The Super Committee: A group of ego minded morons who had no real chance of doing anything except getting face time in front of the TV and wasting more tax payers money.

There are no spending cuts.

Entitlements were never on the table from the get go. Now, the Defense Dept is going to be raped beyond the $350 Billion in real cuts it has already taken.

Why does everyone think that Sen Murray, Barney Frank, and the Community Organizer were so elated the morning it was announced that the Joint Resolution Committee failed?

The Community Organizer even had a speech line ready that morning, vowing to veto any attempt to save our military, and laughing that there were "no off ramps" to save it either.

47% of Americans now receive a Government check, direct deposit, or EBT card.

Entitlements have broken our back as a nation - they are the reason for the debt explosion that will ruin our nation and lead to a global financial collapse. Defense spending is now at a near historic low (about 3% of Gross Domestic Product). During WW II it was 39%.

So, line up for your Social Security direct deposit, Medicare, Medicaid, Section 8 housing, and food stamps. Everyone else is. The problem you have is that were are heading off the cliff in 5th gear, and now the accelerator is pressed to the floor.
