Colburn: “We should cut $100 Billion”
No Senator, you should cut $500 Billion.
Yep, small tax credits for going green, eliminate home mortgage deduction, Bush tax cuts only extended long enough so (they think) it will do no immediate damage, and 401k investments are looking ripe...
After watching the segment, I can see why. He was concise, confident, and able to make a good case for why his position makes sense. The MSM can't have that out there.
I think he’s primarily inept in the areas that matter to us. On the whole community organizer, undermine-the-country bit, I try not to underestimate him in the least.
Yes, why not Wallace go to Illinois to get a Democrat from Wisconsin to badger about being derelict?
The real test is whether or not we can lead him into the mid 30’s a year and half from now?
ABC, Round Table - Donna Brazile defending obama (he entered the debate on day 4 of the protests, not day one); local workers have taken the brunt of cuts (when ????) Compares these protesters to the the Tea Party movement. (what ?????)
Steve Southerland, R, FL - States don’t have any choice - they are bound by the limit of balanceing budget, govt can do with less.
Jonathan Karl, political strategist, - obama’s criticism was more clear with Gov Walker than with Mubarak, Wisconsin is critical for 2012 election.
George Will - Gov Walker was elected to do exactly what he’s doing. Brings up FDR’s comments on public sector unions. All Walker is doing is limiting collective bargaining to wages....what’s wrong with that? Even if the Gov. gets every concession, their benefits are far better than the average private sector job.
I am pumped up with home brewed Starbucks!!!
Ready to take the onsalught in the name of Freeperdom and America!!
some also serve who wait and watch! ha.
McAsskill lying again, claiming that Boehner is the one who wants to shut down the government.
Actually Obama is the one who will do it. (Republicans fault)
FNS
Dems (and Gingrich) are the only ones bringing up the ‘s’-word — shutdown.
McCaskill uses it, trying to imply that ‘shutdown’ is what the Republicans, and especially Boehner, are wanting.
It's up to us to keep carrying the flag and reminding everyone else we are supposed to be living under a constitution that has stood the test of time.
She also said “writing checks to the oil companies.”
That is such a bedrock leftist belief: all tax deductions equal the government giving money to the tax filer claiming the deduction.
The reality of oil companies is that they pay far more in taxes than they claim as profit. I think the govt gets about 3 dollars for every dollar of net profit of the companies.
Of course it was all about the town pensioners getting screwed but nothing about other town non-pensioners getting screwed on their property taxes if the pension fund was bailed out.
FNS
Wallace to McCaskill: You have become sort of a deficit-hawk.
[Hey, Chris, can you say re-election? Her term is up in 2012. Of course, she is moving to the right.]
Ready to take the onsalught in the name of Freeperdom and America!!
$$$$$
Freeper volunteers are the BEST!
