So Baucus, Murray and Kerry are going to be on that super committee...
Murray and Kerry seem to be more acceptable, but why does a guy that comes from a state that has more cows than people always find himself at the center of attention...

No one from the Midwest, Sherrod Brown would have been great except he is busy running for reelection...

Anyway, just an observation that Baucus always gets to be in the eye of the storm. I know he has seniority, but come on...

I once saw a question on an IQ test that read: "Patty Murray is to the U.S. Senate as Beth Ferrari is to all the --blank--."

Now, a few years ago there was a huge controversy over that question. It was resolved when Plugs Biden was elected Vice President.

6. Repubs only need one person to agree with them...
 ...and the big knives come out for Medicare and Social Security. Reid had 50 other Senators to choose from. Why did he choose Baucus?? No doubt, Baucus is the most likely to turn on the Democrats and go along with the Republicans.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

AKA the Stupid Committee.  Reid already said he wouldn't appoint any Democrat who would give ground on entitlements for his part, I believe the GOP said something in the same vein but perhaps not quite as strong with regard to tax increases.  Sounds like a total deadlock in the making.

That was the plan all along.  That allow the default across the board cuts to the military and entitlement programs to happen without a vote.
