Listening to the news on the debt commission.. these are just a proposal
And before anyone goes off the deep end.. When a commission makes proposals.. it is just that.

Any commission, would have proposals.. ones you would agree with and ones you would not.

I have not read the the commission proposal.

I am just listening to others and getting a gist of what was put out.

They want to raise the age to 68 over the next 20 years?

And that caps would to lifted to a higher income..?

That is the Social Security part.

Military cuts?

Should be an interesting discussion

1. They want you in lockstep believing that this is the worse ever
and they are begging you not to look at anything,
other than to read their speculation.

That's what happens when dealing with folks who are eager at the
trigger pointing Obama's way.

4. I have to find where they are.. I have not read them
I may get juiced at the details.. but until I see the details..

I have not a clue till I read it.

This is being thrown out there to get people talking, or yelling.

2. They are a proposal and we could only hope the WH to say that it is not acceptable

rather than say they will wait and see. There is nothing wrong in providing a leadership. The White House statement is so bland that you wonder whether they agree or not.

BTW, you missed that tax proposal that would limit the tax rate at 26%, including corporate tax rates.

Obviously, the chairman report is so much skewed to the right that the final report will be skewed toward rich people. Read it rather than talking about something you dont know about.

(You can call me an Obama hater if you want. It would be false, but you can. But this report sucks).
