Great--a public posturing fight will definitely go far. It's grandstanding and I bet it backfires...and that's coming from someone who LIKES the plan.

Technically, it's under 80 billion at 78. That's 78 Billion dollars on 6.3 Trillion. So he took 1% in defense, one of our biggest wastes. I stand corrected that he agreed to cut some of the SecDef's waste recommendation...but even there, rather than agree to the SecDef's 178 billion dollars of identified waste, he reinvested 100B back into defense! Come on man: That's just assanine and he's just being a political jerkoff in doing something like that. My point is the same as its been since the beginning. I like that people are talking about this but he presented a non-starter without any pretension of compromise. Instead of trying to arrive at something practical, he published a political document that cuts taxes and keeps defense spending untouched, while slashing entitlements. This thing won't get done unless people in Congress agree to real cuts. Next up, the Dem plan calling for raising taxes 10% and cutting military 50%. Probably effective on paper too but also won't pass. By putting a plan out there like this, he all but insures there will be no progress on the deficit and that is my problem with it. This is just a grandstanding plan. Really? I'm quoting % and dollars from the report. You and Magox are not talking specifics. When I see the report's projected increase in revenue, I just laugh. Obama projected increase in the tax base too. Do you buy that? Really? Closing loopholes will increase the tax base even while lopping off 10% from the corp and higher bracket? Come on man.

Yes, your specifics in this thread are so enlightening.

I believe we are in some sort of violent agreement BTW. I just don't see this as nearly brave as most. There is a ton of party red meat in this proposal and very few cuts at his base. Again...no military cuts? Really? How realistic is it that this plan would pass? That bipartisan committee plan from a year ago had a much better chance of passing because it was politically even-handed in its cuts.

You ninny: I read the plan. If you think that lowering the tax rate by 10% to the highest earners and corporate tax rate is going to advance this bill, you're higher than you already appear. And by the way, I'll happily accept the 10%, both for my business and myself. And if you and Rkfast, think that lowering taxes (and it is NOT a broadening...read his plan FFS--he provides NO specifics) will fix the deficit, then maybe you also believe that enacting Obamacare will cut spending.

I get trickle down. But it's not a realistic plan from a "let's get this done" perspective to drop taxes 10% into the face of this huge deficit.

Kid in my class killed himself my sophomore year at McQuaid in the late 80s. I was in a bunch of classes with him. So sad.

They still made this a political mess. Cut 6 trillion but not one dollar from the military? How stupid and politically motivated is that? IT would be nice if he gored his base a little in trying to solve this problem. BTW, while I'm all for simplifying the tax code, I have a hard time believing you can substantially cut the deficit while at the same time grossly lowering taxes. But at least we're having the dialogue. Not a snowball's chance in hell this thing passes in anything like the proposed form. He fired the first salvo. Let's see what the Dems pitch back. If both sides are fighting about how to cut government, we'll be heading the right direction. A viable candidate? Zero point zero.

The sad thing is that Peterson is probably the least risky pick at #3. He's probably as close to a can't-miss pick in the top 10 as there is this year. And I still don't want him because the Bills desperately need to prove they are a different team. If Peterson is there at #3 and the Bills don't think anyone is better, they should do everything they can to trade down. If they don't there will be a fan revolt.

They booed (with an "ed" you rubes) Santa because that Santa had his black-haired unshaven hair showing uder his off-center white beard and you only notices that after seeing his dirty Santa suit. They were booing one of the worst Santas ever trotted out before an audience. And it was earned: I've seen the footage. Booing the fact that the Eagles didn't take Ricky Williams was poorly done but the fans here are excellent. Bills fans booed Kelly more than once and called for his benching plenty of times. We are no party ourselves...and god forbid anyone say one bad thing about a Buffalo team.

I get on my knees and pray.

Good. You can watch all the Bobby Baccala seasons. FFS. That show threw away a great franchise.

He has one term written all over him. He will keep the minority vote but some of the women will not vote for him again and the independents, who voted for him in 2008, won't get fooled again. Oh, no. In 2012, I'll smile and grin with the change all around me.

I would not have hit her but I'm not going to say he was out of line. When you act like that, you may get what's coming.

The Sopranos has about 3 good seasons and 6 awful ones. Almost all of the minor subcharacters were a waste of time. JAnice and Bobby being the biggest. No one would miss Betty or Cooper. They can develop Don and Roger just fine without them Bert dies. Betty moves to DC with that dude. Done.

I made this point 10,000 times when Vick talks about his mistakes and people tell me I need to be more forgiving for his mistakes. Steve Johnson vs. Steelers: Mistake. Favre texting Johnson: No mistake. Really? It's a species-wide narcissism that has us always so convinced that the end is near while we're alive. Jesus's early followers figured he'd be back any day...year...decade...century...time proves only everyone wrong. But I'm sure you're the guy who has it right. You and Nostradumbass.

The product placement part of this is funny--I always assumed the product placement was built into the show. Get ris of Betty and the new husband. Jettison Cooper and a few of the office lessers.

Agreed. I regularly get people asking me to take him back. He's his usual self. 2 amazing plays, 5 ok plays, and then a serious bonehead play. His inconsistency makes people here insane. All that being the case, he'd be the best Bills lineman tomorrow.

Fighting in hockey is idiotic. It keeps hockey a gimmick sport.

You did it again you ass%$^&! Maybe you're not really bright but you have now officially been reported. Use"N-word" or something else but that is SUPER offensive.

Unless you're black, you need to revise this ASAP.

MS to discontinue. May take until 2060 to sell 2 more units.

Sure. I's a free country. I boycott Miley Cyrus's music.

Up is down. Up. Is. Down.
