- Distraction alert: the KEY debt-bill issue is the "Super Congress" that decides future cuts. This small group will be easier to lobby and no doubt selected to be in "safe" districts. Congress can do little to challenge them, and they are forbidden to raise taxes. I.e., it's another power grab. http://fairpoliticsusa.com/2011/07/24/boehner-wants-super-congress-to-solve-debt-problem/ 4 comments politics
