Super Committee a Super Disappointment

The Congressional "Super Committee" charged with eliminating $1.4 Trillion in red ink from the Federal Budget announced today that it has failed.  Now, a series of automatic across the board cuts will take place in 2013 if something isn't done to fix our fiscal crisis.  David Gergen wrote an op-ed about the committee and it's failure and what it means for the American People.  He rightly takes Congress and the committee to task for their failure, and points out how dire the consequences are if we do not fix our government.  It is an incredibly articulate and scathing piece.

Have they gone nuts in Washington?
