Super Committee has succeeded--not failed
Does anyone actually believe that this "Super Committee" was formed to make real change?

I sure as hell don't.

Our elected leaders work for the corporations, not for us. Everything they do is for the
express purpose of benefiting the corporations or getting themselves elected. Bank on it.

Does anyone wonder why this "Super Committee" was formed and was charged with forging a
plan of cuts/taxes--and why this duty wasn't given to Congress as a whole? Why not just
have votes on individual issues--such as rescinding the Bush tax cuts or cutting specific
welfare programs?

The reason is this. There's an election around the corner, and these charlatans and actors
know that they haven't been serving us. In fact, they know they've been serving the corporations
and bungling nearly everything they touch. So, how do they get people to the polls to vote for
them?

They whip up both sides into an angry lather--by pointing fingers of blame at the opposing side.

Democrats will be enraged that the Bush tax cuts can't be rescinded during a time of great economic
crisis when the rich aren't paying their fair share. Conversely, Republicans will argue that Democrats
wouldn't cut wasteful spending, during a time when the deficit is soaring and our nation is bankrupt.

Bingo. You've got your hate. Your fear. Your bashing. All directed at the "other side".

And guess what--all of those Congress Critters who were up for re-election are perfectly positioned
to criticize and be enraged---because THEY WEREN'T ON THE SUPER COMMITTEE! THEY AREN'T TO BLAME!

Truth is--these bastards will never rescind the Bush tax cuts because the corporations and the rich
can't and won't have it. And most of these Democrats and Republicans serve their corporate masters.
Another hard truth is--both Republicans and Democrats don't give one whit about "out of control
spending" and the deficit. These same fools who claim to have their hair on fire about the deficit
are the same ones who waged unnecessary, perennial war on the Middle each--which has costs us
trillions in defense spending--with no end in sight. Give me a break on the "We must be fiscally
responsible baloney--when you're draining our country's money with never-ending war and tax breaks
for wealthy corporations that make billions--any pay NOTHING.

It's all a joke. It's all a shame. But guess what...it's all for US! Because the only way these
criminals in Congress can continue to serve their corporate masters and keep their power--is by
angering and stoking fear in their constituents. They have very little to tout. Remember, they
no longer serve us.

So, instead of the upcoming elections being about jobs (because they've done squat), or alternative
energy (because they've done squat and serve the oil companies), or healthcare costs (because they've
done squat because they are owned by the health-insurance magnates) or education (because they've
done squat--except for declaring pizza a vegetable), or helping people who have had their homes
illegally foreclosed upon (because they've done squat because the banks own them)-----they'll
simple...

POINT FINGERS, BLAME THE OTHER GUYS, STOKE OUR FEAR AND ANGER--which provides a nice smokescreen
that hides what's really going on behind a whole lot of puffed up divisive rhetoric.

Super Committee=Nothing but decoy super drama. To all who are in on the big joke on the American
people--the Super Committee's pre-planned "failure" is indeed a success--because the outcome
is exactly as these liars and snakeoil salesman planned.
