Then it shifts to looking at misleading aggregates without asking why certain things happened.

Then follows an lie presented as "economists believe," a dead give away.

Then follows silly assertions about big multiplier effects of tax increases on the rich (mere paragraphs after assertions of no multiplier effects of tax cuts on those who work).

That's as far as I was able to get. That article is just crap.
Did you not read my lead in?

Apparently, GGG didn't either.

Nonetheless, that budget is a fucking joke.

How many pair of Obama and Ty together does it take to change a lightbulb?

Better take at least two pair cuz if an Obama screws something up, the Ty isn't going to tell him.

"starting"? He's been looking like a one-termer for months. It's starting to look like he might actually get re-elected.

Or are you bizzaro Ty because you agree that old people and their medical costs and ease of fear mongering on medicare are the biggest problem? If so, what does that op ed have to do with anything?

I really don't understand what you're saying. The budget is a starting point in negotiations. No one, including the White House, thinks that it is what will happen, because Congress has different priorities. For the White House to start with a budget that reflects what they thinks they will actually get out of Congress would be negotiating against themselves, because Congress would only start farther away.

No one is too young for Seinfeld; it is still on 5 times a day. Seinfeld is just too subtle for Adder to follow. Make Friends references?

Re: Pepper sprayed for public safety.

These anti-birth control people realize that the 19th amendment passed quite some time ago, right?

Back in my day women voted by putting an aspirin between their knees.

But not a Bayer aspirin, because there was a war on and no one wanted products made by those filthy Germans.

If they win running on an anti- contraception platform this year, I think the witches are dead come '16.

Our priest, whose usual forays into politics are focused on appeals to support right to life marches, went positively medieval on both bishops and republicans for this particular one last weekend. The poor seventy-five year old guy, who I am sure expected to be allowed to quietly retire by now, actually got annimated over the idiocy here, and went on for a while about the fact that we're no longer in the days when Catholic families are going to have eight or ten or twelve kids, and virtually every parish priest and practicing Catholics understands that birth control is involved.
