The so-called “super committee” was created to solve our nation’s dire fiscal
problems.  One look at Europe and the stakes are clear: massive unemployment,
social unrest and waning influence throughout the world.  We cannot allow that
to be America’s future, which is why conservatives should want the “super
committee” to succeed in enacting real reforms.

Unfortunately, the “super committee” is veering off course and the odds are
growing that massive tax hikes will be part of a final deal.  Even worse, not
all Republicans are willing to take massive tax hikes off the table. According
to news reports, more than 100 House members – Republicans and Democrats alike –
sent a letter to the “super committee” urging a “big, grand bargain – taking
nothing off the table.” In Washington, that is code for a tax
increase.

reject tax hikes.

Here are the criteria conservatives should use to judge whether the “super
committee” is serious:

· Real spending cuts, to both discretionary and mandatory spending

· No tax increases, period

Together, conservatives can fight to save the American Dream from the
Washington Establishment and big government special interests, which are
entrenched on both sides of the partisan aisle.
