Look who pays off the SUPER COMMITTEE (Congress, health care, ideology)

Special interests gave millions to budget panel - Local News Story - St. Joseph (http://www.newspressnow.com/localnews/28842717/detail.html - broken link)


The lawmakers represent a large swath of political ideology and geography, but they have some things in common: They received more than $1 million overall in contributions from the health care industry and at least $700,000 from defense companies, the AP found. Those two industries, especially, are sensitive to the outcome of the committee’s negotiations because the automatic spending cuts could affect them most directly.

Ironically, defense and medicare will be one of the only departments left.

I guess we can either sit back and accept whatever edict this unConstitutional farce of virtual representative government can buy, or we can have our Governors demand of our House Reps. and Senators that they return to Congressional session NOW!
