A fair question.

Here's another: what exactly is the super committee's proposal? Does the rumoured $1.50 in increased revenue involve raising taxes, pluggin loopholes, or merely the off stated belief that cutting taxes increases tax revenue?

Newt Gingrich said something the other day that I totally agreed with (don't fall off your chair.) He said the super committee was a "stupid idea." And he's right.

The whole thing is clown car politics at its worst.
