Here's another Republican blowing off the deficit. Yeah, the same deficit that has them all so worked up when they have a chance to take the country hostage. This time it's Sen. John McCain, speaking at his big new jobs plan "unveiling."
If there is a failure on the part of the super committee, we will be amongst the first on the floor to nulify that provision. Congress is not bound by this. It’s something we passed, we can reverse it.
That means if the Super Congress fails because the Republicans refuse to consider tax increases, Republicans will nullify the whole debt ceiling deal in order to avoid the defense cuts in the automatic triggers.
So why in the hell did those colossal dicks put the country through a manufactured crisis over the debt ceiling if they weren't serious about the deficit? Oh, yeah, Mitch McConnell's priority number one.
Assholes.
