Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) released the following statement regarding the super committee's failure to reach agreement.
"Once again, Congress has failed the American people. This type of dysfunction is becoming more and more typical of Congress. This is particularly upsetting considering there were already two bipartisan road maps for resolving our debt crisis that have been submitted. Either the Bowles-Simpson plan or the Gang of Six report can be the foundation for a bipartisan solution to address the debt crisis and ensure that our nation returns to strong financial footing. I call upon Congress to address our fiscal crisis immediately."
