Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The United States is in the midst of a massive, multi-front war on federal government deficits. When Congress raised the debt ceiling, it created a super committee with unprecedented powers to recommend deficit-reducing measures totaling at least $1.2 trillion over the next decade. Virtually nothing, other than the Constitution, limits what the committee may recommend.(1) Furthermore, Congress has obliged itself to vote on whatever the committee recommends - no filibusters allowed, no amendments permitted, and only simple majorities required for passage. If legislated cuts fall short of the $1.2 trillion target, automatic cuts will be made in most government programs, . . .
