What Happens Next?
The Super Committee is being watched closely for signs that it might be able to reach an agreement, as the President, other members of Congress, and interest groups prepare proposals for its consideration. Sequestration may be the most likely outcome of this process. The only certainty is that we should know by Nov. 23 whether the Super Committee will produce a plan, and we will know by Dec. 23 whether Congress will pass that plan.
