WASHINGTON -- Debt ceiling negotiators think they've hit on a solution to address the debt ceiling impasse and the public's unwillingness to let go of benefits such as Medicare and Social Security that have been earned over a lifetime of work: Create a new Congress.

This "Super Congress," composed of members of both chambers and both parties, isn't mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, but would be granted extraordinary new powers. Under a plan put forth by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his counterpart Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), legislation to lift the debt ceiling would be accompanied by the creation of a 12-member panel made up of 12 lawmakers -- six from each chamber and six from each party.

Say goodbye to the independents, Obama!

And Mr. Boehner, unless a budget balanced amendment is passed, this 'supercongress' will be to your ouster.

Iowa? Can you hear this! Show the nation what your state is worth! Better yet, what the value of obeying the Constitution is in regards to our liberties and our freedoms!!

Have him win Ames, and by it, the entire nation!!!!!!!!!!
