DIBS,
Only in New York,
there are actually bills before the legislature
looking to increase the pensions of state workers!
WTF??!!!
…these legislators could fall into a vat of boobs and come out sucking their thumb.
i have nothing against weddings, big weddings, etc.. it’s supposed to be a party.. but ive always declined every wedding ive always been invited to. i dont think it’s fair to invite people to a giant party and then expect a gift, for them to pay for transportation and hotels, and then the trashiest of the trashy, a cash bar!? um no thank you, ill send you and sweetie poo an E-card.
*rob*
These jackasses will spend whatever more recvenue comes in from higher taxes.
seeing chelsea clinton getting married made me feel really REALLY old lol.
i saw the pics… they make a pretty fugly couple.
*rob*
Even more stupid is my aunt who insisted on getting married Christmas day and told my mom she would never speak to her again if she didn’t show up. Never mind my mother living in a totally different state, being in graduate schools, AND having me and my sister to take care of, which made it completely unaffordable for my mom to take us along.
vote out all incumbents
“…the $7 trillion of new deficits baked into the cake through 2015”
How can anyone know the size of the deficit in 2015 when the size of revenue flowing into the gov’t cash register is unknown?
If the economy gains strength, the current account deficits will come down. If taxes are raised, the economy is less likely to prosper, and the deficits will go up.
rf,
They say, everything you ever needed to know,
you learned in kindergarden.
Read the story of the Golden Goose.
If we cook the Golden Goose (the jobs producing class which includes anyone who runs a small business)
we are left with goose droppings.
…and I don’t see tax cuts as being Keynesian at all.
The problem with Republican prescriptions of the past has been the spending.
And certainly the solution is not to pile on a load of new taxes as the economy is sputtering in a “quasi-recession”.
Addressing the tax cuts now is like talking about a sprinkler system layout as the house is burning.
Cut all spending now!
eliminate waste now!
commence austerity measures now!
DIBS and Christie have the right idea.
Years ago I was invited to a wedding on Thanksgiving weekend. if that wasn’t the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life.
