GOP Plan to Hurt Economy

Huffington Post reports that ABC reports that:

A Goldman Sachs economist has warned that the $60 billion package of spending cuts proposed by the Republicans to counter President Obama's proposal could slow economic growth.

WISCONSIN UPDATE:
I'm not going to make a big production out of this but I see it differently than Ed Schultz**, who wants to hold Obama to his word about "comfortable shoes" and the picket line campaign rhetoric. I believe that circomstances are above and beyond the original scenario and he will be dealing with it more like Libya, behind the scenes and strategically and with everything at his disposal from a big picture perspective. That is not at all to use a violent analogy, only one within the bounds of his responsibilities and the law.

Before the straw that broke the camels back* and I almost violated my original intent here, I will simply add one (or two) more link.

I will leave this post with this and rest as to reads for further thumbing.

The Steel on Wheels and Hardball are two MSNBC linguistic references(to be links) to a Genre Clash or Segue Slash between disciplines*. Ratigan and Business for the People, and Matthews and Political Partisan strategies of conflict.

Fair and Balanced News? is a link directing to The Daily Show.

That is called Ledership you can choose to follow.(The FOX NEWS motto versus Comedy Central as a news source.)

Debt is a Red Herring, is a statement and a link and spins from here:

Six Things Everybody Knows About Deficits ...
That Are Completely Untrue
Which I rephrase as truths:

1.) Current and future spending are not the problem with the defecit, except for paying for our history.
2.) Social Security is not a big deal to fix(separately), but could be impacted by the budget and other decisions.
3.) Austerity and investment are different stories, that both have an impact on the budget and winning the future as well as the now.
4.) Concessions should not be trickle down but incentives should be target up.
5.) Wall Street is not fixed enough to be that big or permanent a part of the solution.
6.) Social Security is not on the same budget table as Medicare and Medicaid and calling them "entitlements" is misleading, and means testing or tax changes could address their impact on our economy

The rest is context and more sources, which may merit more spin and unembedding here: segment,the club of association)

If you don't get it you maybe out foxed.

Nonetheless i will further comment on some of the above links.
Club: The Norman Goldman 4-Point Plan to Rescue America
Association Lawrence O'Donnell, Dennis Kucinich interview about Tea Party coordination.
More: Randi Rhodes interviews Ron Paul
Spin: It is hard to believe Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker could be outed by prank, as puppet of Tea Party Sugar Daddy David Koch.
And back to O'Reilly interview of Beck, it completes a circle. The democracy that means the so-called communists and fundamentalists Beck says will be at the table in Egypt will be practiced in some repects in America and there will be uprising against the crony capitalism of Governor (Mubarak)Walker.

Not so sure about fake doctor's excuses though. The irony is in the getting between the patient and their health care, not to mention a perspective on government licences.(some work in draft may connect later)

(And "bait" refers to some heavy links]

Happy President's Day

Washington's Birthday by Fed.



Belly Up to the Bill Boys or Girls.

Somewhere[**] I must locate certain economic links.* The point? Debt is a mis-management issue, indicating that business types have no business running government as a business.(see "certain" six). Two particulars: Wisconsin is not even one of the top 25 states likely to go bankrupt. "Benefits" are not "entitlements", they are owed by contract and negotiated so as bargained away wages. Debt is a red herring that is very fishy.

BTW: Going Egypt depends on who you ask, and I am not asking Stephen or Steve King***. And Going Wisconsin should not mean Going Cheesehead*. But I will tie this up with a preamble. If I may paraphrase and extend the remarks of a caller to the Norman Goldman Show: If you are not for "a more perfect Union" you may be Un-American. If you are not willing "to promote the General Welfare" you may be militant against "the Blessings of Liberty", but one can take words (and rhetoric or puns) too far. I suggest the word militant not be used, and that nowwhere near the tactics be used in political protests** but just who expects whom to turn the other cheek? There seems to be a slippery slope in the free speech zone.

* my original intent was a pun on Ed Head, which is not a Soft Head, but then there may be a lede to leader in the eventual link.[I believe it was a caller to the Ed Schultz Show that lead me to independently think that the failure of unions in Wisconsin would put a whole new spin on the name Cheeseheads.]

** the right to protest and any intent to break the law, includes the right to be arrested but not beaten, though we should understand that resistence is not futile but few put up with it well

The Maze of Mace

The previous post regarded more about what is outside the box or Pentagon. I am not sure that the 10 essays will get through the other monkeys of the budget and media maze.

BTW: I guess I was lucky finding a maze that led to a pentagon of sorts. By this I mean the previous link and the reference to the terms used in conversation and budgets from "war machine", military, defense, security, foreign policy, monetary policy, to bubbles. There! I hit seven monkeys off our back(off the wall) and on the table.

The Prophet Margin* or "Decartes Bones"(not 2 mention) quote:(p.XIX)

Most people seem to be caught between these tidal currents--the pull to faith and tradition in a dangerous world, the argument that religion is at the core of the world's problems and only a revived commitment to individual freedoms and rights will steer humanity into a better future.

Colin Slee said about England:"You have a triangle with fundamentalist secularists in one corner, fundamentalist faith people in another, and then the intelligent, thinking liberals of Anglicanism, Roman Catholicism, baptism and methodism, other faiths--and, indeed, thinking atheists--in the other corner."

THREE CHEERS TO THE NEW NORM?

Excitement in Egypt!

On the issue of Ledership and Representations, I thought there was something odd. It turns out that the headlines that foretold the departure of Mubarak, were more accurate than the flubbed lines that he spoke. Then the headlines represented confusion and dissapointment, while there seemed a few leaks* that he was "delegating" his powers to the Vice President. I think there is a bit too much second hand interpretation of information** rather than first hand reporting, but sometimes it is also in the skills of the leadership and their communications.
