I'm not sure the name of the show, however, when I find out I'll post it.

1. So Cheney says deficits will drop by half
although Krugman points out that that is b/s, because Cheney and Bush are advocating to cut taxes further and increase the deficit more.

That Maria sure was a snippy little republican, wasn't she?

3. Deficits "forever"--not short term to stimulate economy....
Should be giving aid to states NOW. State cuts depressing the economy..

Maria was all dolled up--what big shots is she shmoozing with tonight???

4. Krugman was brilliant .... he basically called * a "liar"....
Exposed the tax cuts as a long term serious issue that will need to be corrected if we are ever going to come out of this 'mess'.

I enjoyed his non-spin view of the troubles we face. This admnistration is selling us down the river ...fast.

5. Summary: It is all part of the GOP plan to bust the budget and kill SS
When all the baby boomers retire, there will only be about 75% of the money necessary to pay SS retirement (and other benefits) out of the wage earners deductions. I can see benefits being cut by 25%, probably by extending the retirement age again!

6. "I thought I was a centrist - didn't change - suddenly I'm a dangerous
liberal" - what an important point he's making! The "center" moved all the way to the right.

7. We should all make a point to become very familiar with his works in
discussing the economy , etc... with our non-believer friends.
