Debt Ceiling Deal That Cuts Trillions, Creates 'Super Congress' Announced By Party Leaders

As usual, you don't know what you're talking about.

The deviI is in the details, which in this instance has to do with the language of the bill.  If the committee fails (and it's been gamed or weighted unevenly), those splits in cuts are going to be anything but "even" -- The Pentagon's budget has always been bloated and murky and expanded when legislator­s actually thought they'd effectivel­y slashed their budget.  

One of the "uneven weights" written into this deal was that any revenue increases that get into what this 'Super Congress' puts out can be filibuster­ed, but any cuts can't be.  

I kid you not.

The 'Super Congress' is not barred from cutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans' care, SCHIP, or anything in whatever scheme it concocts.  

 And those ignoranuse­s who think that should the trigger be pulled, it's just Medicare providers who would suffer don't realize that Medicare providers have long been suffering and will be taking it out on the beneficiar­ies (and others) in a variety of ways, but specifical­ly by taking fewer Medicare patients (or getting out of the business of seeing Medicare patients altogether­).  

As far as your other assertion, about a mortgage bank's CEO being prosecuted and convicted, are you freakin' kidding?  

I have 2 words for you:
