Large Pile of Dog Crap Fails

Who could have guessed the GOP enforced "Super Committee" (aka Large Pile of Dog Crap) would fail to come up with an alternative plan to slash deficits?

Here's the thing.  This is not bad news.  This isn't even news.  When Congress passed legislation to raise the debt limit, it also agreed to a set of cuts and savings totaling $2.1 trillion over the next ten years.  The Super Committee was formed to look at additional cuts on top of the $2.1 trillion and to look at alternative approaches to the agreed framework that cuts evenly from domestic and defense programs.

The failure of the Large Pile of Dog Crap simply means the country will have to abide by the framework laid out in the debt ceiling deal over the summer.  That means we'll still have $2.1 trillion in cuts and savings over ten years spread out evenly between domestic and defense spending.  It's not that hard to understand.
