On the "Super-Committee" failure

A committee of 6 with 3 members each from the two political parties AND THEY WON'T EVEN MEET IN THE SAME ROOM AT THE SAME TIME? Did anyoone think they were really going to agree on anything? Two things to keep in mind: 1) Our government doesn't work and 2) Republican leaders aren't interested in having it work. At least they're not interested in having it work until after, at least, the November, 2012 elections. This is sick. This is dysfunctional. This is no way to run a government. Or a country.
