Great one Bernard.

And of course there is no mention at all of Connie Macks Mack Penny Solution which eliminates the automatic 8% yearly increases in the budget and instead eliminates 1% of the spending. It balances the budget in 7-10 years but few if anyone in the DBM will even acknowledge it since they know it works but does not advance socialism and worse yet was devised by an evil Tea Party Pat.

I'm watching the re-run of FNS and just got through the S&P / Bill Miller / Paul Ryan segment. It sounds like the inside-the-beltway guys don't understand the underlying argument from S&P; raising an arbitrary limit called the Debt Ceiling and spending money until you hit that number, then raise it again, IS NOT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!

I also heard Chris Wallace ask the longest question he ever asked, setting borders and fences around a question to Paul Ryan; "Would you vote for tax increases?" And Ryan's answer was pretty good; he would need to see what the deal is before he could even begin to answer any hypothetical questions about potential arrangements to make a draft agreement.
