'Super committee' fails to reach agreement

[Hans]

President Barack Obama and congressional leaders traded blame Monday for the failure of the congressional "super committee" to forge a deficit reduction deal, but they also called for Congress to work out an agreement before painful automatic budget cuts take place in 2013.
Earlier, the co-chairs of the bipartisan special joint committee said in a statement that "after months of hard work and intense deliberations, we have come to the conclusion today that it will not be possible to make any bipartisan agreement available to the public before the committee's deadline."
Markets dropped as news spread of the panel's expected failure. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 248 points Monday, with a minor recovery after being down more than 300 points earlier in the afternoon.
Initial reaction had Democrats and Republicans blaming each other for the inability of the bipartisan committee to negotiate at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction measures.

Don't need a committee to come to the following conclusions :

1. Print more money and hope all goes well.
2. Save $1.2 trillion and hope all goes well.

So what you're saying is another Obama idea has turned out to be a joke.

Shocker.

You'd think that the idea of a bi-partisan agreement would go beyond just the President, but I guess not.
