Question on super committee
Advertisements [?]
As I understand it, if the super committee does not agree on anything or if they do and congress does not pass it, then these automatic trigger cuts will affect defense funds. These cuts would not only affects the military but the entire Department of Homeland Security.Other automatic cuts to be put in to effects if Congress rejects the Super Committee’s plan are reductions in Medicare.

I am wondering if this is a way for these cuts to made and no one politician to be singled out on it. :think:
