4. He's not even on the super committee. This is all bluster to frame the narative further.
If they stonewall, defense faces big cuts. This is all an attempt at intimidating the Dems on the committee into folding.

6. They are talking about tax "reform". I would guess that means the following
Get rid of the only deductions that middle class people get to take, i.e. mortgage interest and state and local taxes and deductions aimed at small businesses and at the same time lower the tax rates for the rich, investors and big business.

8. Isn't it funny that every crisis is an opportunity for GOPers to cut spending and entitlements,
Edited on Thu Sep-15-11 12:21 PM by TwilightGardener
and keep taxes cut. Hit the debt ceiling? CUT SPENDING, LOWER TAXES! Tanking economy? CUT SPENDING, LOWER TAXES! Chronic high unemployment? CUT SPENDING, LOWER TAXES! Earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes? CUT SPENDING, LOWER TAXES! They're so fucking insane, I don't know why they're treated as serious people...by ANYONE.
