Super committee failure

Headlines all over the place says the "super committee" has failed. Some details here. And this is causing the Dow Jones to drop.

Both sides stand firm... this is a deadlock. Imagine this, get 6 Coke fans and get 6 Pepsi fans in the room to vote for the best tasting cola. You are not going to get results.

Waita minute, did the constitution give power to the Vice President for tie-breaking? Ok this is not exactly a 50-50 senate vote. I am not so sure if the constitution provides the answer in case Congress can't agree on things. How much $ do we pay these congressmen just for debating? That $ can be used to reduce the deficit a bit I bet.

Look people, country first (is that some candidate's slogan)? Gotta do BOTH of collecting more money and spending less.

Imagine you have a big credit card bill, how do you pay for it? You need to be BOTH making more $ and spending less. No debate needed.

To solve the gridlock, how about get another person in the committee... a RANDOM citizen. Like jury duty.
