I just listened to Obama's speech on his deficit reduction proposal to the Congressional committee established by the debt ceiling deal.

Paul Ryan was right about it being class warfare.


Representative Paul D. Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee and a leading proponent of cutting spending on benefit programs like Medicare, said the proposal would weigh heavily on a stagnating economy.

On “Fox News Sunday,” Mr. Ryan said it would add “further instability to our system, more uncertainty, and it punishes job creation.”

“Class warfare,” he said, “may make for really good politics, but it makes for rotten economics.”

The tax system should reward good productive people, like it does now by giving them a lower taxes than average people. If you take away the tax break for being successful, you ruin the country.

Unlike in most of life's other endeavors, in politics it's usually good to be overestimated, except in debates when you want to be underestimated. But debates aren't nearly as important as most people think.

You pay me a compliment by overestimating me. Just because you recognize that I'm an expert on politics doesn't mean I'm also an expert on computers.

I'm pretty sure I did the video tag just like it's done in other forums. Either the tag is not enabled, or youtube is not on the list approved video services. I don't think enabling the tag would increase the bandwidth usage of this forum.

Nah, this forum just doesn't allow video embedding. This isn't the first time ClydeR has made this 'mistake'.

You are FAR from an expert on American politics, but I will always give you credit for your extensive knowledge of vBulletin.
