Grover Norquist is going to have kittens. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 07:16 9
- Nope --- it's not Occupy having the effect. it's the realization that their core businesses are actually in danger of getting cut. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 07:17 8
  - this is much more likely true. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 07:19 7
    - They sure are justified. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 3, 07:19 6

  - one drink. to share. - znufrii Nov 3, 07:32
- several Republicans who signed the letter were careful to note they were not endorsing a tax increase - Strongbad Nov 3, 07:15 11
  - At this point, I would be happy with tax revenue staying constant while shifting around who pays how much. -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 07:16 9
    - I support raising tax revenue to solve our debt crisis - Strongbad Nov 3, 07:32 7
      - (why is Defense never mentioned in the 'spiraling out of control' talk. I don't *get* that) - ty97 Nov 3, 07:34 6
        
        Another funny thing about defence. It's always justified with jobs. Apparently, this is the only form of government spending that creates jobs. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 07:38

        I think it's broader - it's about projecting your power and defending your interests. - Roger More Nov 3, 07:41
        
        I've said this once before - Strongbad Nov 3, 07:38 2

        I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 07:42

  - that's then tip toeing up to a tax increase in 6 months. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 07:16
