According to the latest polling done by Gallup, Americans do want some tax increases along with some compromising on the issues by both Democrats and Republicans who will be sitting on this committee.
Right from the beginning, Sen. McConnell has stated that he will put no Republican on the committee that would consider any tax increases. Once again, that leaves the Republicans at odds with the wishes of the American people. Would you expect anything different?
The federal budget legislation passed last week mandated that defense and Medicare would be cut back if the new super committee is not able to reach an agreement on a different plan, and if a balanced budget amendment is not passed. A majority of independents and Democrats would accept cutting defense spending, but Republicans would not. On the other hand, less than half of any political group other than the Tea Party favors cutting back on Medicare and Social Security.
This super committee will in all likelihood turn out to be nothing more than the same bickering that we have grown accustomed to over the past few years with nothing getting done at the tax payers expense once again.
