President Barack Obama says he is "completely agnostic'' about all options for repairing the federal deficit -- including new taxes on the middle class which he has pledged to avoid.


You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. ...

ag·nos·tic

1 : a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god

2 : a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something

a National Sales Tax won’t pass, but it will be nice watching them try to do it.

But it will be just like the income tax. It will start out as 1% and after it becomes law it will quickly escalate to 20%.

From Urban dictionary:

1. reneg

Misspelling of "renege". Almost certainly formed by incorrectly identifying the root for the past tense (reneged) which is more common than the present tense. Renege means to fail to keep a commitment or promise.

He reneged on the deal.

2. reneg

Slang abbreviation of the term renegotiate; to go back on or review a deal already finalized or closed.

He reneged on the deal.

Since none of the benefits of the plan are delivered for five years but the costs are billed in year one, don’t see how it ever ramps up to a working model.

Actually, all they can pass on 51 votes are the funding mechanisms, or fees and taxes. All the benefits would have to be subject to 60. This is why they have not done it yet. They are trying to create a way to make it palatable politically.

A councilman in Chicago got fired for saying that in casual conversation.

A certain group of, shall we say, literacy challenged people had never heard the word before and, of course, filed a complaint.
The guy was totally in the right and did nothing at all wrong. But so many were making such a stink about it, he was asked to resign based on nothing but ignorance and thuggery.

Did he do it with a break in his voice, "I've tried harder than I ever have in my entire life ..." ??

Geez, these people are so predictable.

Isn’t “reneg” racist?

Only if you're referring to the person who is doing the renegging, the renegger.

I think you're wrong. Actually, the sub-surface tectonic plates in the Caribbean sea, specifically the ones with the focal point being underneath Haiti, make up what is now known worldwide, by geologists and seismologists alike, as BUSH'S FAULT.

The Bush's Fault was once thought to be relatively stable, in comparison to the more infamous earthquake prone San Andreas Fault; however, recent events have made Bush's Fault very prominent.
