US super committee declares failure

[MothBalls]

A congressional committee tasked with reducing the deficit by $1.2tn (£762bn) has failed to come to an agreement.

In any other job in the world, if you fail to meet your objectives, you get fired*. Except congress, failure ensures you'll get re-elected. Gerrymandering guarantees they'll get re-elected anyway.

I say we fire the entire committee and hire one that can get the job done.





*except weathermen, who can be wrong more often than not and still keep their jobs.
