cameroncrazy1984: Given the awful "solutions" the Republicans have put forward, I think we can all agree that failure is the best option.

Yes, taxing and spending is working so well for Europe, let's continue that path, DUMBFARK.

Big cuts to defense. Bush tax cuts going bye bye. No cuts to Medicare or social security.

I think no deal is a good deal, at least compared to what Republicans proposed.

Just farking fire them all.

So you would prefer cuts and taxing of the middle class for more tax cuts for the poor?

FTFM

jennyz: Just farking fire them all.

Yes your right. Republicans created this plan. They forced this entire mess. Their planned didn't work out the way they hoped. Republicans forcing this -- Blame everyone!

Do nothing, let the tax cuts expire.

Obama cut off access to the cave and now they have no idea what to do.

GaryPDX: I get the feeling we're seeing nothing but political kabuki theater from here on out.

So you are saying this whole Republican deficit cutting plan the Republicans creates is all a sham?

So what? A mandatory 120 billion a year cut touching both entitlements and defense sounds like a small step in the right direction.

pretty pathetic that we have reached a point where legislative fail is a huge win for America. Fark the "SuperduperCommittee", DO YOUR JOBS CONGRESS, you bunch of cowardly, corporate whorebags.

//You get the representation you deserve America. Elections matter, who knew???

Also, while I'm here, I don't know why the ads for this page are advertising episodes of something called 'Winx Club', with a fairy on it, but it just seems like the biggest disconnect between target audience and thread population ever.

Ow! That was my feelings!: pretty pathetic that we have reached a point where legislative fail is a huge win for America. Fark the "SuperduperCommittee", DO YOUR JOBS CONGRESS, you bunch of cowardly, corporate whorebags.

//You get the representation you deserve America. Elections matter, who knew???

Your aware that some of the "successful" plans would of cut LESS not more than will be cut by it "failing"?


You would of preferred them to "succeed" and make less or not cuts?

Unless they're voting on how to make themselves richer or more powerful, this is what we're going to get.

I love the part where now they're all running around looking at things to try and save from the cuts. They're not serious about actually cutting anything. Even now. They just want to LOOK like they're cutting something. Put actual cuts in front of them and it's all of a sudden OMG I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE.

Corvus: Big cuts to defense. Bush tax cuts going bye bye. No cuts to Medicare or social security.

this.

Why does Congress even need something called a "Super Committee" to do their job? My confusion about not having heard about this committee until this week is balanced about not really wanting to learn about some other wrinkle the government has created in order to function. Now that this one is failing, will they have to create a Super Duper Committee?

I'm thinking that we will soon be told that this is Obama's fault, and that this is good news for (Mc)Cain.

Gosling: Put actual cuts in front of them and it's all of a sudden OMG I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE.

Well yeah. Ask them to choose between doing what's best for the country or what's best for themselves and it's not exactly a surprise which one they're going to pick.

Yes your right. Republicans created this plan. They forced this entire mess. Their planned didn't work out the way they hoped. Republicans forcing this -- Blame everyone!

Democrats had 60 votes in the Senate and control of the house and presidency and couldn't accomplish anything. Fark both parties.

Carth: Democrats had 60 votes in the Senate

They had 59. Which if we were run by human beings with a sense of decency or shame would normally be more than enough. At this point, though, 99 may not be enough, because that last guy would gum up everything with one-man holds.

This

Step 1. Reduce top income tax bracket to 0%
Step 2. Give all government revenue straight to the top 2% in the form of phat rebate checks
Step 3. Wait for that wealth to just trickle back down, baby

Santa, all I want is term limits for Christmas......................

You're both idiots.

I keep forgetting the talking point was HCR "nothing" or was it "complete government take over of our health care system"?

It's pretty amazing it was both.

also like I said demos didn't have 60 democrats.

StanTheMan: cameroncrazy1984: Given the awful "solutions" the Republicans have put forward, I think we can all agree that failure is the best option.

Yes, taxing and spending is working so well for Europe, let's continue that path, DUMBFARK.

What the fark are you talking about?

Ireland, healthy economy prior to the crash 4 years ago. Forced austerity and massive cuts since. Still struggling with high unemployment and low revenue. Debt still exceeds GDP

Greece, major issues with tax evasion of it's own 1%. Severe government cuts massive unemployment, Greece's 1% continues to evade taxes, the refuses to help recover this lost revenue, demanding Austerity alone for Greece. Greece will default on it's debt after 4 years of cuts.

Italy, extreme corruption. Eurozone forced austerity measures, high unemployment for years. Default is a very high risk.

Portugal, a perfectly healthy economy before Lehman brothers failed. Got caught holding loads of worthless investments. Eurozone forced Austerity cuts, now high unemployment and debt still exceeds GDP.

Spain, high exposure to Ireland, Italy and Greece debt. Years of forced austerity in those countries has done nothing to help them pay there debt. If If Greece or Italy defaults, Spain's economy falls.

Cuts have not done a god damn thing to help the debt and actually, in every situation sevvere austerity cuts have made the employment situation even worse.

Your joyful clueless parroting of Fox news bloviators only serves to demonstrate your own complete lack of clue on what exactly is about to send the world's economy into yet another great depression.

tax and Spend had NOTHING to do with this world wide crisis. It all revolves around toxic investments that failed which triggered extreme economic contraction worldwide.

Get a brain DUMB FARK...

More incentive to do what the lobbyists want in exchange for a job when your limit expires? No thanks.

And there was never 60 democrats.

These are first-termers causing a lot of the damage pretty much immediately upon their inauguration. Tell me how your silly little term limits are going to stop first-termers.

I believe that Kabuki Theater is more popular than congress right now.

"More incentive to do what the lobbyists want in exchange for a job when your limit expires? No thanks."

You wouldnt have these 40 year entrenched assholes (in both parties) who worry about their re-election over what the people elected them for as much either.

I'm not worried about the guy that's been in for 40 years. I'm worried about the horde of yippybrains who've been in for 40 weeks.

"Tell me how your silly little term limits are going to stop first-termers."

It wouldnt, but it might help to get them out faster before they do too much damage either.

There was 59 Democrats and 1 independent. Not 60 democrats.

I like how now all non-republicans are considered "democrats" now.

I think you missed the point of my mini-rant. The fact that congress punted to a 'super-committee' is basically congress wussing out on making adult, realistic decisions. They refuse to do their jobs cause they fear losing their place at the trough. Gutless, cowardly behavior for people whose job it is to make difficult, mature decisions, but what else would you really expect from the boomer generation?
