Nancy Pelosi: Dems Will Be Forceful On Super Committee But Won't Draw 'Lines In The Sand'

Thursday, August 4, 2011


How do you imagine that this 'Super Committee" is going to work?

The only way that it would work in the people's favor is if there were 6 Bernie Sanders on the 'Super Congress', because all it takes is one who is a Blue Dog, one who is ok with cuts to Social Security and Medicare, one who will cross over and agree to the Republican­s' plan, to get it out of that group and onto the floor of the House for a vote.  

And get this:  

The way that the rules for this 'Super Congress' have been set up is, an 'all cuts' bill won’t be subject to amendment in the House, but any bill with revenue increases is subject to amendment in the House.  What does that mean?  Republican­s can filibuster but Democrats can't.

How do you like them apples?
