Did This Surprise You?

So the "super" committee fell on its useless butt and proved to be a gigantic waste of time, but is anyone surprised?  This thing was designed to fail, just the presence of John Kerry proves that.  Now we have to contend with the draconian cuts to the military that should leave us wide open to the next terrorist attack.
Based on the supposition that even a broken clock is right twice a day, there is no way that B.O. is doing this by accident.  He wants to gut the U.S. military and make us more dependent on the UN.  He wants us not to be exceptional, he has said as much.  He would really like to see our days of world leadership come to an end.
I keep holding my breath (as much as I can, anyway) and waiting for the next guy in the White House.  I only hope that he doesn't screw it up too much.
Why couldn't this committee go over the budget line by line and remove the stupid stuff.  Do we really need to subsidize all the ridiculous research that we do?  How about that "loan" to Solyndra?  Could we start with some of those things and go from there?
With all of the opportunities to save money, there is no way to believe that this group was sent there to succeed.  I hope that people wise up.  I believe that we need to make it more difficult for the incumbents to continue keeping their snouts in the government trough.
Did you know that it is not illegal for members of Congress to use insider trading to enrich themselves? Why do you think Harry Reid and Ms. Pelosi are so much more wealthy now, then when they got elected?  There should be no crime that doesn't apply to our elected officials. Call your elected officials and ask them how they feel about this.  You'll thank me later.
