"SUPER" COMMITTEE IS A SHAM

SPECIAL POST

The so-called “Super” Committee of twelve Members of Congress is an outright sham and needs to be regarded as such. 

In the first place, let’s set the record straight: They are talking about reducing proposed spending by $1.2 trillion, but the remaining spending levels will still be far higher than they are today.  This is not a cut, it’s a sham.   If I raise expenditures by $4 trillion and then back it off to a $2.8 trillion increase in spending, how can I turn around and tell you I just cut spending by $1.2 trillion?  That’s the game they are playing and both parties are being complicit. 

Before Barry and Harry came up with this great Super Committee idea, we were looking to cut $4 trillion off the budget.  The plan now is to pass this $1.2 trillion “deal” and placate the American public.  If you think there is even the remotest of intent to cut further after this is done, you have not been studying what Washington does and how they manipulate us. 

If they should not pass this sham, don’t think for one minute that they will pull the “trigger” and cut military spending and raise taxes.  That stipulation will be recalled and sidetracked before you know what has happened.  Then, we’ll be back to square one, facing Christmas vacation and we’ll have another punt to February or March.  In the meanwhile, Moody’s is already raising the possibility that they will join Standard & Poor’s and downgrade U.S. debt. 

So, you see, the whole scheme is a sham and we are the goats.  Let’s see what happens next week. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
