Now nobody knows for sure, but all indications are that this moronic Supercommittee our power-drunk politicians came up with is not going to meet the deadline for trimming our budget this week. This was no unexpected.  This committee was designed to fail. And the spending cuts – or sequestration, as they call it – will not happen.  They will be legislated out of existence before they go into effect in 2013. 

Both parties will have their spin on this failure.  The Democrats will say that the Republicans were insistent on cutting entitlements.  The fact is it will be virtually impossible to bring our budget under control without entitlement reform, and that reform can certainly take place without hurting seniors or those approaching their retirement years.  But the Democrats aren’t about to give up on this campaign tact.  The Republicans will blame the Democrats for their insistence on tax increases (newspeak “revenues”) and refusal to reign in entitlements.  Right on both counts. 

Let’s watch the blame game as it unfolds today.  And while you’re listening to whining Democrats .. just ask yourself, with Obama increasing federal spending by over 25% since he took office, why can’t we find any way to cut spending – if only by three percent – now? 

Tax increases? Are you kidding me?  Do you cure alcoholism by pouring the drunk another glass of whisky?
