This one was a complete political success, because we are now talking about who is to blame for not coming up with a way of solving the fiscal crisis, rather than who did the runaway spending that caused that crisis in the first place.
An even longer-running charade is the budget-cutting charade, where big spenders promise to make spending cuts to match tax increases – or even to exceed tax increases. Of course the tax increases come first and the spending cuts are spread out into the future – and usually end up not taking place at all.

I always believed the so called "super" committee was nothing more than a scapegoat for Obama. He's not to blame for anything...... ::)
