Democrat supercommittee math, cut the deficit by spending more money

I do believe the Democrats can't do math. Their representatives to the 12-member "supercommittee" have presented their Republican colleagues with a unique plan — cut the deficit by $3 trillion over the next decade by adding hundreds of billions in new spending.

Yeah you read that right. Democrats believe we can spend our way into savings.

They're looking at around $300 billion in new Porkulus spending. But it's all for show; they're posturing in an effort to paint Republicans as "unreasonable."

Democratic aides, meanwhile, privately expressed little hope that a big deal is possible. They said Senate Democrats might be setting the stage to paint themselves as good-faith negotiators and to lay blame for the failure to reach agreement at the feet of Republicans.

Leadership. Not a word in the Democrats' vocabulary.

Of course, what else would you expect from a group of lawmakers that hasn't passed an actual budget in nearly three years?

Tax and spend is all they know. When that doesn't work, and clearly it hasn't worked, they're out of ideas. So partisan hackery it is! The fact that sane and intelligent people vote for these clowns is proof that insanity is contagious.
