No no no, you don't just threaten their jobs if they fail, threaten their money. Directly.
"Should the super committee fail, all congressmen shall have their jobs stripped from them, and have 99% of their net worth taken from them and used to fund Medicare and other social programs. Oh, and the motherfuckers get a permanent "FAILURE" etched into their foreheads with steak knives."

I had an idea that would have given the supercommittee a chance to work: "Should the supercommittee fail to produce an agreement, all supercommittee members will be forced to resign from Congress." I would have set the rule that if the supercommittee failed to produce an agreement, the current terms of all sitting congressmen would be terminated effective April 1st and new elections immediately scheduled for March, with no serving congressmen permitted to run. I concur. |

I think it would be funny if the super committee announced: "Plot twist: we reached a deal two weeks ago!"

The supercommittee was a stupid idea in the first place.

The supercommittee was a stupid idea in the first place. Too many eyes were on the legislative branches. They made the Super Committee so they could pass blame when they failed. It's like having a problem where lions are eating all the zebras. So to solve this issue, we lock one of each in a room together so they can hash out the plan. |

Why can't we just lock these fuckers in a room with no access to a bathroom until they come to an equitable agreement? That alone would fix the problem.

The craziness of the republican ideology tells me that they would be more than happy the crap their pants than compromise on their holy grail, Bush era tax cuts. However I would really like to join the party which is looking to fire all politicians. Can we extend it to other state organs too? |

Sigh. And another thread dissolves into a pants-less pit of perdition.
