Even the LVRJ fell for this lie from Crybaby Harry Reid: The debt reduction "supercommittee" was Sen. Harry Reid's baby. He conceived it over the summer as a possible breakthrough in resolving the government's seemingly intractable deficit problems.
But on Tuesday, the Senate majority leader sounded more like a disappointed parent. His once bright view was dispirited as the committee is mired just a week before a Nov. 23 deadline.
"This was my idea," Reid, D-Nev., said of the 12-member House-Senate panel that was given authority to put together a $1.2 trillion deficit reduction plan and get it fast-tracked to final votes by Christmas.
"I would have hoped because we have an obligation to do something about the debt, I was hoping there would be a lot of hand-holding, hugs and pats on the back, and we would be headed home for Thanksgiving," Reid said.
"But at this stage, we have seen two arm locks, and two ... what do you call them? Locks around the neck. Headlocks.
"Congress and the government generally don't do things until the last minute, but the last minute is fast approaching. I hope we can get this done. I have no regrets whatsoever about the suggestion of the supercommittee." http://www.lvrj.com/news/reid-dispirited-by-divided-supercommittee-for-reducing-debt-133924783.html
What a crock. Harry Reid is either dumb as nails or he is the biggest liar around.
He knew there was no hope of this committee of working. Both the Dem's and GOP put their most extreme politicians on this committee and then they allowed lobbyists into the game. There was no way that these two sides were going to come to an agreement and even a first grader could see this result coming.
So, either Harry Reid has slipped more into a coma or he is just plain lying. Now the question is which is it?
