Until both sides come to the table voluntarily, nothing will be solved...

Obama et al came up with the sequester...blame him if you want...did seem to rein in spending, deficits are not what they were and the projected world as we know it coming to an end seems like an echo of what we are constantly hearing, bailouts, stimuli, sequester, debt ceilings... crying wolf too too much, we become less and less wary and more and more prone to the real disaster that may, indeed, be around the corner...

Sorry folks, we do not need Obamacare or all this spending at the expense of a collapse, so give it up Obama...

Well, the Super-Committee (god these people really are full of themselves) managed to generate such a lack of progress that we got the sequester and interestingly, so far, that sequester seems to be more positive than negative.

I suppose we could have a super-duper-committee this time and they could accomplish nothing on a larger scale.

Why do we need a huge committee that does nothing? We already have congress filling that role.

I don't know. Maybe I just have a penchant for accomplishing nothing on a smaller scale. BTW, do you mean ALL of Congress or just one side?

In this case all of congress

Supercommittee or not, here are the latest numbers from CNN

A new CNN/ORC International poll shows that no one is coming out ahead in the current federal funding impasse, but Republicans are taking more heat than the Democrats.

According to the survey, 63 percent of those questioned said they were angry at Republicans, with 57 percent also angry at Democrats, and 53 percent unhappy with President Obama. Nearly half of those surveyed said the shutdown has caused major problems.

Those numbers are higher than during the shutdowns of 1995-96, when President Bill Clinton and Republicans, under then House Speaker Newt Gingrich, reached an impasse over government funding. Republicans took most of the blame during that stoppage (as evidenced by the famous New York Daily News cover from November 1995).

When the crisis ended, President Clinton’s approval numbers rose to some of their highest of his first term. But this time around, with President Obama receiving a much higher share of the blame in polls — and with no end in sight — it doesn’t look like any winner will emerge anytime soon.

Don't forget Obama he's right there with them as a do nothing president.

Supercommittee? What, they're going to wear capes while they vomit the same lines to the cameras and do nothing?

Sorry about that, your right, yes he is destroying America. Thanks for the heads up.
