wow ...Peg, you're just full of good news today .............;)

McConnell said today that any chance of tax increases passing with the appointees he and Boehner will put on the "super committee" is non-existant.

btw, part of the teabagger's deal that Obama signed off on says if the "super committee" comes up with any revenue raising, it can be filibustered, while tax cuts cannot be filibustered...and the wars in Afghan and Iraq are not covered by any caps in spending.

......how depressing ..;( jesus christ, unbelievable !

Peg, HAVE to highlite this once again ..

"if the "super committee" comes up with any revenue raising, it can be filibustered, while tax cuts cannot be filibustered."

because yes, it is UNBELIEVABLE .. if it's that true, then the suggestion that the 'super committee' is open to tax reform is not true.
