Super Committee Makes Bold Move


The Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction or Super Committee which failed to find a compromise to save the United States from becoming Big Greece set up tents and card tables in Zucotti Park just above Wall Street in an attempt to force the Occupy Wall Street Protesters to come up with some specific demands. The lawmakers who had been appointed by their party leaders expressed frustration and outrage that the mass of recent college graduates and warmed over 60's radicals haven't shown the leadership and direction the country so desperately needs to survive the Great Recession.


"The OWS is in danger of making themselves irrelevent by not offering proposals on how to fix the nation's long term fiscal health." said one Senator who chose annominity to avoid offending lobbyists. "We members of Congress are too enslaved by endless campaigning and special interests while the protesters have the advantages of unemployment and homelessness to enjoy all the freedoms that only America can provide. It is time they grow up and point the way."


"I think the Occupiers are showing a shameless self indulgence and immaturity by refusing to compromise on their dogmas enough to keep the country going," said one Congresswoman terrified of her constituents. "If we can't get leadership from a throng of sex and drug crazed malcontents then we will be forced to turn back to Washington."


"Mayor Bloomberg can not evict us as we have Congressional immunity," said one of the Committee Chairpersons wearing a paper bag over his head. "We are being joined by Ambassadors from other dead beat nations coming over from the UN to demand that the OWS roll up its sleeves and submit something we can vote against,"
