The fear in the back of every Republican mind is that the American people
will blame John Boehner and Republicans for shutting down the government.
Just like they blamed Newt Gingrich in 1995 when President Clinton shut down
the government in a budget battle with Newt and the first Republican
Congress in 40 years.
Could the Republicans get blamed again? Of course they could. But I don't
think they will.

The City of Columbus, Ohio was greeted by a number of Ohio State University

more than 60% of Ohio voters favored a tax increase of $0.75 per pack of
cigarettes and nearly the same percent favored a larger tax of $1.25/pack.
A similar poll was conducted in North Carolina earlier this year. It found

Democrats say that government can create jobs through borrowing, printing
money and spending. They warn that trimming bureaucrats from payrolls will
be an economic disaster. Republicans argue that the bigger the government
is, the smaller the private sector. The Tea Party prescription: shrink
government, lower taxes, decrease regulation, and the economy will rebound

发帖数: 2273 | 6 NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Congress couldn't agree how to pay for a year-long
extension of the payroll tax cut, federal unemployment benefits and an
adjustment in Medicare physician pay.
In fact, it could barely agree on whether to extend them for two months.
And all three are relatively minor measures in the context of all the budget

Federal spending has two sides: mandatory spending and discretionary
spending. The biggest programs on the mandatory side are Social Security
and Medicare. These two programs are called "mandatory" because they are
not subject to the budget process; spending is said to be "on autopilot."
Until recently, the two programs were entirely funded with the payroll tax.
