   His budget plan cannot fail. It can only succeed in unanticipated directions.

   Who says that the tax trigger being pulled is a failure of his budget plan? It sounds to be exactly what he wants.

   Man, what an awesome plan! It automatically ensures that future crises don’t go to waste.

   This is like applying zero tloerance thinking to the budget deficit. When taxes automatically go up and benefits automatically go down, everyone in charge can just say, “Hey, we are just following the rules.”

   US President Barack Obama on Tuesday said his aim was to change the US healthcare system to discourage Americans from seeking medical treatment in India and Mexico.

   Executive Order time.

   I suppose there’s little hope of passing a 14-day waiting period for these presidential triggers but could we hope for fingerprinting and having the DC police review the application?

   I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but can we just go a head and hit the frigging wall already? Imagine this stretched out over 3 years. That’s what this feels like.

    Sometimes I think, “Significant numbers of Americans can’t possibly be stupid enough to fall for this.” Then I ponder the success of “Jersey Shore” and “Operation Repo”, and weep.
