This SuperCongress, or committee, or whatever you want to call it is another Profile in Cowardice.
The can gets kicked. The leader waiting to be led. A camel (which is a horse designed by a committee). If you thought you loved the total bullshit of the lipsticked pig that was "Health Care Reform," you will be ecstatic about the "reforms" to the existing social safety net.

We need a leader and we don't have one. Where is the vision? Where is the rallying cry?

"Eat your peas?" Is that it? Is that as good as it gets?

1. This whole thing is a joke. Unfortunately, it's on us. No one in DC looks
out for the little guy. Scratch that. A very small minority does but no one listens to them.

2. AFAIC this has all been a kabuki dance to cover the enactment of
the catfood commission. We have been shocked doctrined by disaster capitalism into an austerity program of their choosing designed to carve up what is left of our public sector and sell it off to their fellow banksters.

Color me riot-red.

4. The committee can cut Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid and it will
give members of Congress and the Senate "plausible deniability" come election time. It wasn't me, it was the committee.
