Ignoring the fact that they are doing the People's Business behing closed doors.. the Super Congress will vote on Novewmber 23rd.

How apt.. just in time for "ThanksGiving"....

They are supposed to rule on Military AND Social cuts. Guess where the Ax will fall?


-----------------

The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction,<1> colloquially referred to as the Supercommittee or Super Congress, is a joint select committee of the United States Congress, created by the Budget Control Act of 2011 on August 2, 2011. The act was intended to prevent the rapid process of sovereign default that would have resulted from the 2011 United States debt-ceiling crisis,<2> and has been interpreted as a reaction to frustration over prolonged partisan political disputes during an uncertain economic struggling to recover from the late-2000s recession.<3>

1. My Congressional District is not represented by the "Supercommittee", I see it as a fraud.

4. your district's representative got to vote to create it and will get to vote on its proposal
lots of congressional work gets done by committees and joint committees.

THAT is not what sucks about this one.

6. Is your congressional district represented in every other Congressional committee?
I'm going to bet no.
