15. She phrased it to perfection - "Obfuscation"
Or in laymans terms "Obfucksation" : Screwing the masses while telling them it's GOOD for them.

13. Pass the Progressive Caucus tax plan
Why do these morons (super?? committee) waste their time with all their BULLSHIT.

The Progressive Caucus put forth a budget (in April) that would COMPLETELY ELIMINATE the deficit in less than 10 years ( http://cpc.grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=70 ) and nobody seems to take them seriously.

WTF

The people of this country should demand the super committee adopt this budget and quit wasting our time and theirs.

17. That was brilliant. Very well executed. I'm worried too much of this...
...and they'll close down all the meetings to the public.
