The History of B.S.

[Herstory and Blog Searches* aside.]
[Originally Drafted May 26, 2012]
There is a joke about what the oldest profession is, but I won’t go there.  It is more or less about procreation. The B. S. I am talking about is the flip-flop of Simpson-Bowles.[1] Yes, I believe that was its name before it hit the road.  It was supposed to be a bi-partisan committee on the debt, but could not come up with any consensus on how it should be addressed, so its full report was submitted more like a Supreme Court decision that was tied. 

Recently it seems that its name was changed, to Bowles-Simpson.[2]  Was there some reason for that?  Could it be to honor the real oldest profession?  And I don’t mean the Barter System.  If this is too nuanced, maybe it is the joke, to be less about creation, more about pro$e.  Either way this is a very economic and political history. 

[More Bio-Product.]***
Speaking of PEG’d...(Private Equity Government)[3] or nailed it, Coffee Table This! [4-7] Now that is creationism.

[Now I realize that some boots may be needed for the above, but I was trying to be economic. But the point is that it is always political and it has not been bi-partisan except on the Democratic side.  Pun on BP aside.** The irony is that it is about walking a plank.  Both want a rising tide, but the Republicans want the people to walk the plank, while politicians take one to the other party boat. Unfortunately this may need deeper boots or Mitt-Flops for the economics, let alone politics.   The B.S. may be in this writing, but it is in the links and balanced solutions as well.]

*literally I will present this without links(see footnotes later)
** bi-partisan (now that is slick)
*** oops:  sorry for anachronisms

Clinton(Bill) is full of B.S.

Balanced Solutions like Bowles Simpson.
Also a bit of Share'N Angle.

Recently embedded remarks regarding Bowles Simpson were made by Nancy Pelosi.***
Similarly* under "Balanced Solutions" we have reference to budgets and sarcasm. Ouch!**

* not this link but the links (First B S) above!
** related to image(poster) in prior link and evolved sarcasm:
where they think they agree but you are connecting their dots and it does not follow.
*** third times a charm (asterisk 3) under Nancy
[missing link]

Footnotes or GPS of sorts ? [!]
[Not exactly the bottom line, but FB equal GB equal CB, then ironically corporations are people? Where acronym's stand for Family, Government and Corporate Budgets. That may though be a good base.]
[A missing leap regards some rant to AM. Not your father's GM...no American Moderate. Not Andrea Mitchell, but Tamron Hall and Cory Booker^.]
[Pin the Tale on the MB eh! (3R's)( Reeding, Wrighting^^ and Mitt-matic?)]

^needs updated link
^^ anachronistic messaging? RMegaDon DieSign?
[The Sting of Inoculation^^^]
^^^ meme wars (video) (I am trying to find my most recent shot on this matter.)

5-22-12 So is Hillary. Either one.
Not so random self searching.
Peter Piper picked a Peck of Pickled Predecessors.
[See Format Change in PAGES column.]

^^^ update "wars" CTRL F "calling card" Good answer, see FB/GB/CB equal formula above.
See original Balanced Solutions links above.
Speaking of 4moolah and math ...

[related LEAP mission creep(^^[!]): tba Thom Hartmann ]
[Speaking of Forks ? Yes! But you can't handle the conversation, and it is exactly the conversation Obama is having, yet it is not his alone to have. The "yet" part means that as a leader he cannot tip the hand of equity^^^ from congress, the judiciary and the people. Well, he can all that but it is political as well and that is why there are three hands so to speak(the but/and/yet here). See CTRL F "calling card". ]

Rubric's Peek

Not to mislede***, but I lost my original heading:
Recession imminent if ‘fiscal cliff’ of tax hikes, budget cuts not averted, CBO says.

My second shot, "Rubric's Peek" is a pun on a Peak at the way congress put it.
Now that is the ticket, something about B.S.* as in Bowles-Simpson or "balanced solutions"**, not to mention "bumper snickers".  It wasn't quite Sea QuestOr B.S. nor BaneOr C-Quest.


* "Off The Cliff-Notes" was not it.
(Maybe The B.S. Cliff /something.)
** place holder for better "off the cliff"notes.
i.e. not(nor) the link I hoped to find
*** the lede is this paragraph, Rubric's Peek my alternate heading

[I have refrained from overburdening with links, but did find a few that were interesting if not off the cliff. (at least prior to this sentence) And I still haven't found the simple explanation of the Fiscal Cliff, not exactly to ribble a hint: woof!]

Note: G'Ribble is not exactly in the last four links but... akin to a GPS of sorts. 
Note:  the exception proves the rule on links or peeks.

Ryan/Romney run from Ryan plan..

Ryan runs from own plan endorsed by Romney.
Not Exactly.

[The E Pit o'me of Nuance or Flip-Flop.(in reference to above layout, links and asterisks.] 

[And this AM: Ryan runs from Wonk and Partisanship.  That is a hoot, since he was on the BS Panel(Bowles-Simpson).  Reminds me of Saving Pirate Ryan, and "going postal".  The USPS(congressional failure) is the Iron Knee to Romney/Ryan I Ron KneeFunding Bane Or...
(Note: Bane/Bain Boehner confluance and bracket of  "Funding"(...)"Or" or Mitt Rob Me.  The USPS is not going broke, anymore than the government is going broke, Republicans are breaking it by running their plan which ironically in moderation would solve so many problems.  i.e. investment.  But they are over-investing in the pension plan and at the same time hoping to privatise it.  Won't that be a boon?)  In proper context, pirates were a government program.  Speaking of hole in the Hart.(AM)]

[See bold book ends: Shrug Life /The Last Word. Not exactly.]
[A last clip (Jon Stewart on The Cycle!) And the pie chart of fiscal irresponsibility does not even include the flip-flop of going austere and focusing on cutting the debt while cutting taxes as soon as the Republicans no longer led.]

Economic Summers

What Business Can Do to Save the Middle-Class.

B.S.: P. S.

Straight from Wiki:
Prominent supporters include JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon,[2] Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (although at first she opposed the proposal)[3] and Republican Senator Tom Coburn,[4] Democratic Representative Chris Van Hollen[5] has called for a deal based on the Simpson-Bowles framework. Critics say that it would cut entitlement and safety net programs, including Social Security and Medicare. Prominent opponents include Paul Krugman,[6] Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Paul Ryan,[7] President of the Americans for Tax Reform Grover Norquist[8] and Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky[9]
