Patty Murray and Jeb Hensarling (Super Committee) are continuing

[gateley]

to meet and discuss, but the rest of the gang isn't participating which may indicate that no agreement will be reached.

This is according to what an MSNBC reporter just said - no link.

Hats off to Murray and Hensarling.

1. You want them to come to an agreement?

[gateley]

2. Probably not, from what I've heard the Dems are willing to

give up, but I'm impressed by Murray and what's-his-name still trying. Murray's my Senator and I know she sincerely cares about the people, so I assume her Republican counterpart in this is motivated for the same reasons. :shrug:

3. the need for the committee was voided the moment they signed it into existence

Why even show up? It was a GOP trap to viciiously and blindly cut citizen benefits and government jobs--social programs will be hurt far more than the military when the mandatory cuts start. All according to plan.

4. I have never liked the idea of a

"super" committee being used by Congress to delegate the future of American lives.
