Their spouse has passed away, they are, in general, tougher and financial circumstances. It is not that i would not have some sympathy for changing benefits, but i would like to do is lower the most for those who are most capable of withstanding the reduction. What do you say . I think the most important point to make about the change cb i is it saves you very little in the long run. It raises you very little on the tax side. If thats the only thing we are contemplating, i guess we talked about eligibility for medicare but we were not talking about sufficient reforms to fix the problem we face. While historically, the chain cpi may have gone up by two or three points less than the cpi w use, there is no guarantee. Is just a forecast. That is just a forecast. We could save more or less depending on how things work out in terms of real reform, i would much rather look at something of this sort that bob discussed, some sort of progress of indexing approach to the problem. That would lower

I am not as worried that makes a good deal of difference. But it is not hard for congress to patch amt. He is a good the. What he struggles over is do we have to pay for it. If we do not, how will we deal with our guilt . There are not a lot of people maybe there are. Who sit around and worry about should we packed the alternative minimum tax or if we do, how will we construct the patch. Construct the patch . The answer is the same as the last nine years. How do you allow yourself to do this . How do you come up with the money or the rest rationalization not to do this . We try all these budget processes. From my own perspective, one of the things we have learned over the last few years, we have tried all these budget processes, andnothing seems to work. A wonder given the fact that Interest Rates areat the moment, there are not it does leave another pressure point. Given the fact that Interest Rates are negative there is not much incentives for a politician to make the tough roads the
Trump currently stands at 739 delegates, and there are three types of states that have still yet to vote. You have winnertakeall state, hybrid states which award their delegates based on a combination of the results in the congressional districts and some other standards, and proportional states which award their delegates based on the overall vote total. Lets assume trump continues at the same pace as he has throughout this primary process.

But if trump were to perform at the same clip, as you can see, he would easily get over the 1,237 mark and win the republican nomination. But this is an unpredictable election. A lot
Pretty harrowing incident at first and given what happened in london last week it has caused a lot of alarm here on capitol hill. What we were told a short time ago from eva malecki, at about 9 22 a. M. They first got the reports of shots being followed. They observed a driver driving very erratically and aggressively. Just over my shoulder here on independence avenue and first street southwest the vehicle made a quick uturn nearly striking an officer and striking another vehicle and shots were fired and the vehicle was stopped.
