Psy: I looked at the plan. He doesn't say he will eliminate Obamacare (I love your null symbol, by the way). He will eliminate parts of it and does not say he will eliminate the taxes. He also retains the fiscal cliff tax increases. Also, the Cato Institute says it does not get us to limited government: http://www.cato.org/blog/ryan-budget-proposal-not-blueprint-limited-government I have doubts about this plan. It seems very old guard to me.

Woo hoo!!! Politicians living up to their principles. This could be a red letter day!

She was less scary than Kristin Chenoweth.

WHAT are you talking about? Where are you jumping off on this rant? Keep your eyes on the big picture and drop the name calling. I don't see how this policy helps anyone EXCEPT the libs. It makes the gun companies look like they don't want to support the police when the law specifically gives them the freedom to do so. You think that's going to help the fight for 2nd amendment rights? The way to deal with this is to mobilize people to elect representatives who will protect those rights. It's not to say that you don't like the rules so you're taking your ball home. Do you think foreign gun manufacturers are going to walk away? This is a sucker's move on the part of the gun mfs. Anyone supporting them will end up paying for it.

I did read it. Does it mean they have chosen not to obey the law?

Whatever we think of restrictive gun laws, this is plain dumb for the gun companies. It makes them look like whiny babies who don't want to support law enforcement. The NY law has an exception for peace officers. So what does a statement like "we will apply all current State and Local Laws (as applied to civilians) to state and local law enforcement / government agencies" mean?

PD: I just don't hang around to chat on bulletin boards. Here's one CBO document from 2011 claiming that year's deficit had $340B due to the recession. http://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/cbofiles/attachments/10-04-Portion_of_Deficit_Due_to_Cyclical_Weakness.pdf I'm trying to find the $400B for 2012 projection. I had put it away.

I agree that we have to cut spending. But, does anyone here not believe that we have a growth problem? The CBO had said close to $400 billion of last year's deficit would be due to the downturn. While I think it's silly to say "We have a deficit problem," (That's like saying someone who's sick has a "health problem."), it is naive to couch the solution in terms as spending vs revenue when everyone automatically thinks of revenue as taxes. We have a few problems. A big one is growth.

Who cares? This article is a waste of electrons

I believe publishing that personal info was outrageous. But, how many here think it's different than posting the names and addresses of people who work in abortion clinics?
