She showed her great concern by avoiding all earmarks, right?

Feinstein is one of the most intelligent politicians on the other side. She is starting to sound the alarm over debt and talking about cuts to stay ahead of the curve. When Governor-elect Brown is talking cuts, you know it is bad in California. Feinstein sees the mess coming and is buying stock in shovels politically.

Sounds like Al Capone lecturing us on the evils of organized crime.

Classic Clintonista tactics. Accuse others of what you are sooooooo guilty of. Still works I guess?

Dear Senator Feinstein,
How much estate tax were you planning on collecting next year? Were you expecting Buffet and Gates to die next year and leave the US govt half of everything to “reduce the deficit”? After all, Gates’ wife and kids didn't “earn” that money. Plus just look at what good stewards of tax revenues the Congress has been. Somewhere a rum producer or arrow maker or beaver counter will go hungry tonight because the US govt just didn't have enough tax revenue to support them.

Sincerely

Let’s be real...every state is getting a piece of us. What will be cut in the future is more aid to states...and the states will attack your paychecks...and your utility bills, raise every damn state fee...

Libs/Dims only worry about debt when taxes are being cut. Other than that, their attitude is “It’s all good.”

“She showed her great concern by avoiding all earmarks, right?”

Right and voted for all the huge spending for banks, auto companies etc. that were “too big to fail”. And probably vetoed a one time $250.00 payment to Social Security recipients because it would cost to much money! What a gal! (sarcasm on)

"I never thought this could ever happen in America," Feinstein said.

It's partially your fault, FineSwine.

You're too stupid to be a Senator.

We haven’t heard a peep from any politician about the Fed secretly giving $12 trillion to 9 banks. This should anger every American. It shows us that the bailout was a sideshow and a drop in the bucket. The Fed needs to get axed.

There’s one major philosophical problem I have with Democrats warning against taxs cuts due to the deficit:

WE DIDN’T ASK YOU TO SPEND ALL THIS F**KING MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE! HOW DARE YOU EXPECT US TO BEND OVER AND PAY MORE TO YOU WHEN WE TOLD YOUR ASSES NOT TO SPEND THE MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Remember, all the supposed tax increases were to start next year. Ideally that won’t happen. On the other hand, all the new spending (>$900B over 10 years) hasn’t happened yet. They can just not spend all the new stuff. Keep in mind that when you add in that $90B the deficit next year will be $1.3T unless they curb the spending.

Feinstein is one of the most sincere globalists in the entire US government. Without her the UN would be just another social club.

It's coming in January. Multi-state corporations will have to track where you perform your physical work as their employee. Any time you rack up 20+ days within a state, your employer is required to apportion your state taxes to the one or more states where you have worked. I'm going to start getting hit for CA taxes even though I'm a resident of ID and have my home there. The fact that I work more than 20 days annually in San Diego will force me to pay CA state income tax and file state income tax returns to ID and CA.

I happen to agree. Of course, it isn't a hard bill when your ranks are filled with ultradim bulbs like Patrica Bin Murray, Barbara Boxer and Bob Casey, Jr.
