1. What I don't get is :
Obama and some Republicans are in favor of another round of stimulus amounting to $447B as soon as possible (more tax cuts and more infrastructure spending).

At the same time, a bipartisan Congressional super committee is tasked with reducing the federal budget deficit by $1.2T by the end of the year (more tax revenues and more spending cuts).
