'New Super Congress': Debt Ceiling Negotiators Aim To Reform Congress

Cant' get the representatives of the people to change their ideology, the senate has a way of taking care of that.
** Under a plan put forth by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his counterpart Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), legislation to lift the debt ceiling would be accompanied by the creation of a 12-member panel made up of 12 lawmakers -- six from each chamber and six from each party.**

A quote from his own website:

*“And my Republican counterpart here in the Senate, the senior Senator from Kentucky, said he would support raising the debt limit as long as Congress used the opportunity to do ‘something really important’ about the national deficit."*

It doesn't go any further on ideas about it. It does sound like they have a plan. To try and throw out the US Constitution, hmmm.

They have had that plan for a long time. The Constitution is a huge stumbling block to TPTB and they cannot wait to get rid of it.

Two more idiots that need to be voted out of office asap. It was good back in the day when the repubs and the dems worked together for what was best for all citizens and this country. But sadly both parties have seem to lost their way so now it would best if we show both parties the door in 2012.

When it comes to US debt you might as well give the drunk another beer.

Worse than an alcoholic is someone with a gambling addiction and thats just what's happening down on walls street except they are spending you're money and if they hit it rich once in a while then they are renting prostitutes, or you're politicians to allow the scam to continue.

This all comes on top of the $3bn a week spent on ilegal wars being fought for the zionist corporations so it becomes clear that the only way the US is going to get better is to do some serious house cleaning.

One last point.

Did any of you get to vote on any of this or does voting for one pile of crap instead of the other pile of crap every four years mean that you did get a vote

Imo, this comment by sdcr at Daily Paul concerning this proposal says it all:
"...This sounds exactly like the path Germany took in the 20s and 30s until 1933, when Hitler came to power!
Read the first paraghraphs of this and you will recognize that the Enabling Act of 33 in Germany is the same as the proposed law: en.wikipedia.org...
In short, with the Enabling Act the parliament granted the German government additional powers and de facto legalized Hitler's dictatorship..."

Vote them out!

So this is how soft government coups work. They want to take our democracy from us right in front of our own eyes.

If this does come into fruition, what are the odds the 'supercongress' would disband after the debt ceiling is raised?

Probably the same change of the FED going away.

Zero

I disagree. I think they know but these sellouts in DC won't do their job until they have a gun at their head. Its all about motivation.

This is so sad. When will we wake up and take to the streets as a unified nation??

I am praying this may be it. It's so sickening to see what they are doing; it's even more sickening that it's out in the open and NOBODY CARES.

It will be too late by the time everybody notices that we have slid down the slippery slope too far.

Surely this idea would require a Constitutional amendment, ratified by all 50 states and by a two thirds majority of Congress AND Senate?

Will NEVER happen in the current political climate.

The congress used to have to declare war if the president wanted to send in troops, but that doesn't happen anymore either.....
