'Super Committee' failure may cause another downgrade of America's credit rating

There seems to be a substantial danger that the apparently imminent failure of the Super Committee establised by the deal to raise the national debt limit will set off another downgrade of our national credit rating. Doubtless all the wackier Republican presidential candidates will once again laugh that possibility off, but it's no laughing matter.

How's this for a proposal: should such a downgrade result from a failure of the committee to reach the cuts contemplated by the deal, every member from both parties should be defeated for re-election. Enough is enough.
