  1. “Yes, but you are only talking about it from the government side of the equation.”

    so some people get to keep their money – and spending SHOULD get cut (if we follow current trends, probably some social entitlement program)

    but isn’t this taking “money” out of the pockets of one group and putting it into the hands of another? (assuming there isn’t much crossover btw those who would benefit from inheritance tax and social programs)

  2. I really feel sorry for this guy. We had a long chat in the silverdaddies chat room. He lives in Park Slope and seems like a really nice guy but I also think he’s looking for a relationship, which, of course, I am not so I think I’ll politely tell him that I’m not any good for him.

  3. “when making a budget – shouldn’t all predictable decreases in revenue be offset with a decrease in expenditures?”

    Yes, but you are only talking about it from the government side of the equation.
    I don’t doubt that it’s a cost to the government, in most circumstances I don’t see it as a cost to the economy.

  4. “Can you seriously ask someone to put a paper bag over their head? Do you pull out a condom and a paper bag from you wallet at the same time?”

    Just tell them you practice safe sex and you are very worried about global radiation fallout,
    as you pull out a box of Trojans and a full length PVC suit with mask for them to wear.

    The government, whether it be federal, state or local, does not operate in the real world. Some of these entities think that they can tax their way out of their problems but the “shellacking” gave them the answer to that!!!!!

  6. jessi, not having Fulgencio over tonight. Don’t want to give him my cold/cough. Xing is intent on nursing me back to health and tomorrow is his birthday so me, being the nice guy that I am, am not seeing Fulgencio this week.

  7. That would be awesome if you told him you had la lucha fantasy. But it wont work because he’s already sensitive about his face. Dave, I say just move onto the next. And it’s Tuesday so you’re having Mexican tonight already.
