Washington Fails the American People Once Again
Super Committee admits failure in meeting November 23rd deadline
Phoenix, Arizona – Mesa businessman and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Wil Cardon, expressed deep frustration with Washington as they have failed the American people once again. The bipartisan Super Committee announced Monday that they failed to reach an agreement over cutting $1.2 trillion dollars in an effort to keep the country from the automatic $1.2 trillion in across the board cuts that, according to the Pentagon, will devastate the defense department.
“The career politicians in Washington have once again failed the American people,” said Cardon. “Partisan politics and the lack of leadership from the President and Senator Harry Reid on this issue are truly disappointing. I hope this is a wakeup call for Washington. Our country’s national debt hit the $15 trillion mark and these career politicians cannot even compromise on $1.2 trillion in cuts over ten years. Shame on the President, Sen. Reid and all of Congress for failing to do what is best for our country. With unemployment at a staggering 9 percent and our national debt continuing to grow at record speeds, it is truly disheartening to watch these ‘leaders’ in Washington flush our future and our children’s futures down the drain.”

I hope someone with Will’s background and proven leadership can get elected and shake up the establishment to get things done. The 12 man committee had power bestowed upon them that no committee in history has had. They could have past legislation that could have shaped the America of the future for hundreds of years to come. However, they polarized the issue and put their reelections in front of America’s future. Jeff Flake was nowhere to be found. For someone who has been in congress nearly their entire career, he has ZERO influence and ZERO power in Washington… What good does a powerless Congressman or Senator do for their State?
