This is how the not so Super Committee
Made an epic fail
Failure was not an option, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had said of the super committee charged with finding at least $1.2 trillion in cuts to reduce the federal deficit over the next 10 years.
Well, failure was not only an option, but now it is reality.
The super committee is done, and it has produced no plan, no proposal, no outline, no suggestions, no guideline, no notions for reducing the deficit.
The 12-member bipartisan super panel was helpless before the [GOP] kryptonite of taxes, an issue that lawmakers could not solve. Republicans did not want them to increase without offsetting reductions in entitlements like Medicare and Medicaid, while Democrats saw tax increases as essential but resisted major changes to entitlements
Ditch Mitch himself is not an option for KY voters. He's not only really, really bad for KY--he's super bad for the country. Top.01% tax cuts are more important to him than helping our poor, uneducated state.
