It was a decisive victory for Washington insiders against the more principled progressive members of the Senate. Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced his three choices for the first-ever “super” committee that will draw up a plan for resolving the nation’s fiscal situation. Those Senate Democrats are Patty Murray (WA), Max Baucus (MT) and …
Sen. Harry Reid made a great argument, in 2006, on why we must vote against raising the debt ceiling: “Most Americans know that increasing debt is the last thing we should be doing.” “Economists will tell you we should be reducing debt, not increasing it.” “We’re being asked to do what shouldn’t be asked of …
