{quote by John Boehner}
As part of the debt-ceiling deal negotiated over the summer, Congress' "super committee" is now attempting to create a plan for defecit reduction. This week, both Democrats and Republicans have announced their respective plans. Each party has dismissed the other's plan, with the Democrats calling the Republican plan "a joke." With the Thanksgiving deadline looming, it is questionable as to whether or not a substantial plan will be made.
This is very frustrating for me personally because I, like many Americans, am extremely tired of watching hyperpartisan politicians fail to get anything done. If this plays out similarly to the showdown over the summer, with Congress creating a mediocre plan just for the sake of getting something out there, I may give up on government altogether and join the Occupy Wall Street protesters. This is hyperpluralism at its finest.
