Who's Fault Was the Supercommittee Failure?

Ezra Klein looks past the pol chatter and points out, In supercommittee, Dems moved right and Republicans moved righter

"If by "at fault" we mean "unwilling to compromise," we can do better than listen to the self-serving remarks of the players. We can look hard at the movement in the actual plans."

"But if the question is whether the Democrats or the Republicans moved further in the direction of a compromise, there's no doubt that compared to the last set of negotiations, the Democrats moved right and the Republicans moved further right."

Always nice having some data to back up your opinion.
