How about we let the members of the house control the purse strings of the government?

You must have missed this part::

“House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has made a Super Congress a central part of his last-minute proposal, multiple news reports and people familiar with his plan say.”

that is part of Boehner’s two step plan

People on Free Republic have got to get to the Freshman Republicans and tell them HELL NO. Stand Tall against the elite. Email and tweet. We are being sold down the river by the RINOS.

Anything proposed by Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid in tandem has to be bad for the country.

A super Committees proposed by RINO’s and Democrats??

No No, that’s not gonna be Kosher.

Toss out a system that has worked for 200 years because these two want to run the Congress without bothering with the new guns,

A better plan would be to toss out Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell.

They're not "tossing out a system".

It's just a committee...it's not a "Super Congress" as the HuffPost is putting it.

The reason the Post is afraid is that the result is an up or down vote and we know who controls the House votes these days, don't we?

Proposed by McConnell and Reid!! Where's the outrage???

What's McConnell's twitter address? He's lost his last marble.

Mcconnell doesn’t have a twitter address that I can find but Boehner has two.

I saw a funny tweet about Pelosi being The Joker of the Super Congress.

That does it!
Any elected representative or senator whose fingerprints are anywhere near this proposal, is toast. Period.

If you can't make tough decisions, you don't qualify for the job. Delegating (abandoning) your designated powers to make decisions unaccountable, is NOT an option!

Get some b***s of get the hell out!

It's not an end-run. Congress has to vote on it.

If HuffPost doesn't like it, I do.

I still think there’s gotta be a way the American public can threaten Congress, whether it’s by changing our withholding en laser, or boycotting goods that generate exise taxes. There has to be a way for us to starve the beast.

all tweets so far about Super Congress are negative. Get on there and tweet those freshman Republicans. They have twitter accounts.
