I hate to break this to you, but Obama isn’t basing his plan on the catfood commission (Bowles-Simpson). He’ s not basing his plan on the gang of six, either. And he’s definitely not basing his plan on Paul Ryan’s fantasy rantings. He’s going to pick from the different suggestions what he feels are the best strategies and start there. (Where this goes in negotiation is anyone’s guess).

Okay, good morning, and I’m still sleepy. Must have been all the beer and the Giants’ game last night…time for a little more nap.

I think he’s going to limit it to 2 things, decreases in military spending and raising taxes. Like I said before, no dem running for president is going to suggest cutting social programs. He’ll propose the things that the repubs won’t and the repubs will propose the items the dems won’t. Both need to be done.
