The teachers have promised to go back to school on Tuesday.

Miraculous healing?

Wallace talking about proposed federal budget cuts. Puts up some of the highlights of Repub's proposed cuts: Ban all funding for health care reform and planned parenthood, cut NIH and Jobs training spending.

Claire says, "Are we going to take a weedwhacker to education and let millionaires keep ....."

Wallace asks Claire, "How much are you willing to cut?" Claire brings up obama's proposed 41 Billion cut...Wallace interrupts her and says that's not a real cut to current spending, What are you willing to cut from current spending. Claire, "I'm willing to cut." (WHAT, Claire?!)

At least their salaries won't be coming out of our pockets anymore. Let zeros Godfather Soros fund them.

Nice to hear some say what they really think, in short
concise comments.

I saw an interview between Greta and the Speaker of the House of Wisconsin. He was extremely well-spoken, clear and concise, and on top of any arguments or ‘debate’ questions that Greta asked him.

I suppose he will be kept from public view on the “major” news outlets also.

[rodguy911]

Thanks for that Tom.

It only took McCaskill about 20 words to mention ‘millionaires’ who get to deduct interest on their second homes. What an frowsy old fraud. Glad Wallace had the decency to call her on the 41 billion lie.

[rodguy911]

Britt Hume would be perfect!!

[rodguy911]

Now we are getting there!!!

[altura]

Walker handled the Obama quote and question well. It must have been tempting for him to say something you and I would like to say, but he resisted it. Hah.

[rodguy911]

Thanks maica,I think it would work. You gotta get simple basic to drive home important stuff.

[altura]

He would be! Wonder if he could be persuaded to come out of semi-retirement to do it?

[rodguy911]

I saw a video somewhere ,can't recall where the countries total indebtedness including promises(which is about all they are right now) to Social Security was near 60 trillion, a huge number.

If you are under age 50 expect to collect socha security when you turn 70 with incentives not to wait until you are 75 or even 80 other wise this ponzi scheme will fall apart.

Claire, "I'm willing to cut." (WHAT, Claire?!)

So was Jesse Jack@$$.

[altura]

I agree (about Fox News) Their main problem is a desire to be fair and balanced (ha). that means they have to have some despicable people aka democrats on the air.

But I still like Fox News. At least we can catch a few glimpses of sanity, unlike any other news outlet.

[rodguy911]

Hard to say.

[Girlene]

Not quite as enthusiastic about birthdays as I once was.

lol....I baked a cake for you (and AB). Hope y'all like chocolate!

[rodguy911]

Exactly, no sense killing off all of them until we get FreeRepublic TV and radio on the air!!!

[Girlene]

LOL, ROCKLOBSTER! Took me a while to get that one....

[altura]

Woo hoo, Bray. May you be right once again. Your accuracy percentage is almost as high as Rush’s!

Plus you made me laugh with your phrases.

[altura]

Oooh, thanks Girlene, you should not have gone to that much trouble. But yes, I’ll have a large slice and I love chocolate way too much.

[maica]

To keep it simple we could say “how does it work out when somebody tries to live that way on their credit card? Well???? Hmmm???”
