President Obama, drawing immediate condemnation from congressional Republicans, unveiled a new deficit reduction plan Monday anchored by $1.5 trillion in new taxes.
The president, announcing a plan in the Rose Garden that includes more than $2 trillion total in entitlement cuts and tax increases over the next decade, rejected demands made last week by House Speaker John Boehner. The speaker had said tax hikes should be off the table as a newly formed bipartisan committee meets to extract long-term deficit savings.

Why should the GOP cringe? They should be glad that he’s digging himself deeper with every word he utters before the elections and then take the opportunity to fight this tooth and nail.

The problem is, the church leaders are talking about “prosperity”, and “fulfillment”, and not talking about Bible virtues, or better yet, Hearing From God.
You need the latter to do the former.
Glance at my tagline. It is the cousin of your thesis.

Everyone and the GOP should cringe because it is after all country before politics.It made me cringe when I saw last week someone posted all the bad news for this country and wrote in the title in parenthesis good news.When America is suffering and near the brink of hell economically it is not good news.Good news is Obama being impeached not his actions.

Wonder if there is even a bill out of the WH yet?
There is not. It will not be ready until after their next vacation. Probably some time the first or second week of October.
But we should pass it right away! Even though it doesn’t exist! Pass it anyway!
I wonder if they look at the vehicle of the bill as a formality which doesn’t really matter.

and no specifics AGAIN. Pass my ill, er what bill, oh yes days later there is a bill but not specifics we have to wait for another speech. Now we get make taxes more fair get the rich to pay more and again no specifics like how much. Meanwhile GN and the UAW strike a cozy deal. General is told to alter his view about a firm obama was an investor in. The green firm in CA receives over a half bill and the media is for the most part, just like they are over Buffet's company not paying taxes and is behind for years. Or GE sending jobs to China I HATE THE MEDIA

$787 billion created what, a few thousand temporary jobs, and we’re supposed to believe $500 billion will do WHAT, exactly? We KNOW the whole scam is payoffs for union votes. We’re better off if the government cuts eash of us a check this time around, at least the money WILL go back into the economy.

Obama didn’t think of this himself. Who is telling him what to say is what I want to know

Technically how long does the DNC have to challenge Obama in a primary? Rules? The Democrats don't follow rules unless it's to their advantage. Look at the U.S. Senate race in NJ - Torricelli was replaced by Lautenberg after the deadline for doing so.

Wine and alcohol cant be purchased with food stamps, nor can hot foods. In Arizona, California, Michigan, and Florida, food stamps can be used to eat out at restaurants.
