Good snowy morning all!
Thanks for the thread and ping AB
Cold as crap up here on the mountain:o( Should have stayed in south FL a little longer.
Citizens for Enacting The Simpson-Bowles Plan
The American people should demand that both sides adopt the latest Simpson-Bowles Plan.
Enough of this insanity.
Sequestration will cost 2.14 million jobs, study says
Both sides are behaving like Kindergartners.
Enough of this - no more "Cliffs", no more "Deadlines", no more manufactured theater.
Sequester risks U.S. security: Simpson, Bowles
If both sides would simply adopt even a slightly modified portion of this plan, this would be over - and our nation could look forward to long term economic growth and our military security would not be gutted.
It's not perfect, but it is the best hope for getting the US out of this absolute partisan mess. Even the Canadians of both parties have said our government has lost its mind.
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Mitt and Ann Romney.
MTP
Boehner said the Dems came to the WH conference without any plan — that they have known for 16 months at the sequester deadline was coming.
Gregory: That isn’t true.
[Gregory basically calls Boehner a liar.]
Gregory just can’t see why Boehner won’t agree to raising taxes.
Boehner: We need to get serious about dealing with the spending problem.
Gregory can’t understand why the Republicans won’t allow more taxes. Says the president is committed to reducing the deficit [with fairy dust, David?].
Boehner: The spending problem must be addressed.
Boehner: The president already got his tax hikes. The problem is, Boehner repeats, is spending ... SPENDING.
Gregory remains deaf. There is no evidence that reducing taxes increases economic growth.
==
It is like Boehner is trying to explain economics, taxing and spending, to the Fence Post Turtle, without much luck.
Boehner is holding his own with Gregory, who is definitely carrying water for the Admin this morning.
RE: THIS WEEK (ABC): Sperling; Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H.

AB! George S just promoed his guests and will be interviewing Dennis Rodman - our Ambassador to NK - to learn his insights on Kim Jung Un.
I am not kidding. Steffi said it while I was looking for the remote.
Dems/Media seem to be implying that the next crisis could possibly be a government shutdown, if the continuing resolution [for government budget/funding] runs into problems.
[In other words, the Dems/Media are hoping for a shutdown — knowing they can fully blame that on the Pubbies and, thus, improve their positioning for the 2014 elections.]
Raul Labrador is the only reason I will tune into MTP today. He is truly an articulate conservative voice. The last time I saw him on there he carved up Jennifer Granholm.
The Romneys are so irrelevant on the political stage right now- they are history. Why the big interview on Fox News Sunday? What is Fox thinking? Mitt Romney’s opinion on anything right now should only be shown in a 2 minute interview on a afternoon weekend show. That’s how irrelevant he is.
Actually the Romneys have never really been relevant imho and the big bucks got them the nomination pure and simple. Mitt has been on every side of every issue. They are champions of no cause. Also, they made many enemies on the way to getting the Republican nod. Bye bye Mitt - I doubt you will be missed by anyone.
Yes, he was slightly less evil than Obama but you can’t win the presidency if that is the only thing you bring to the table.
