Anytime I hear a plan for "the next ten years" or "the next decade," I think of the Old Soviet Union. They had lots and lots of five year plans. Just half as long and look where it got them.

Ironic that the sentence for petty theft was a tenner in the Gulag.

What happened to the 500 Billion that was going to be cut from fraud and waste to pay for your commie medical plan?

They took it out of the popular Senior Advantage plan.

“What’s striking is how modest the changes need to be to get us back on track.”

Oh, PLEASE. That might work on the brain dead.

“as well as $2 trillion in new taxes”

Dear Senate Democrats:
Please have all your 23 Senators up for re-election in 2012 voting for job-killing tax increases.
We’ll be ready to hold them accountable for the 9% unemployment rate. Thank you,

- Republican Senatorial Committee
