Oh well, now you can look forward to another US credit downgrade. The first 1 didn't hurt... so comes another ...

And your celebration party is when???

I doubt that.
There is no real difference between them taking action and not.
The paltry 1.2 trillion over 10 years is a joke.
1.2 trillion a year for the next 10 years would not even make a dent in the debt over the next 10 years.

America Is Not Broke - IPS

Not a bad start for a discussion. I would have liked it better if they identified their list of examples for "3.Eliminate programs that are obsolete and/or wasteful."
I'm sure that would bring to light more discussion/debate.
Seems everyone says, We need to do this, stop doing that yet nothing changes.

I clicked on the link and read the article. There is nothing there that I can disagree with. We need to get our collective **** together and quick.

I find this truly amazing. If anyone of us sat down with our wives and children and told them we were spending way too much money, Would you be surprised with their position: You still have plenty of time on your hands -go get a weekend job.

Obama planned for this committee to fail....c'mon 6 to 6!!
He can now campaign on the "do nothing congress". Perfect accompaniment for a "do nothing" president!
