Super Committee Fail

once again, the government has let the american people down by failing to put aside their loyalties to their parties and actually do something productive for the citizens they’re supposed to be serving. but what’s new, right?

so now this stalemate will trigger automatic spending cuts of $1.2 trillion (holy cow). but where will these cuts be made?

well the answer is….pretty much everywhere.

national security. medicare (excluding senior’s benefits). environmental protection agencies. early education programs. NASA. national parks. national institutes of health. public health initiatives. etc. etc.

the list goes on and on.

if anyone’s interested, there’s a very interesting (and extremely frustrating) analysis on the failed super committee that addresses the lack of leadership within washington and the cycle of dysfunction it creates.
