tejek, just because I rail against Obama and the Dems bailing out the banks, does NOT mean I am a big fan of the GOP. The GOP is a joke. They are criminals. They proved that to me during the Bush years. It was a grand shift for me, because I'd always voted straight ticket GOP all the way through 2003. So your post is accurate. The SuperCommittee is a joke anyway. Even if the GOP was willing to raise $750B in new taxes alongside the Dems willingness to cut $750B in spending, for a total of $1.5T in deficit reduction over 10 years, it still only address 10% of the problem. We still will have a deficit of $1.35T EVERY YEAR, for a total of $13.5T in new debt at the end of 10 years. It's all one giant farce to pacify the populace. However, educated folks like me aren't fooled. Both parties are a joke.
