A truce or cease fire. Latest sign is a statement made by egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, according to state tv. He said that, quote, israeli gra aggression would end on tuesday. That, of course, is today. Thats consistent with similar statements weve heard from other officials late last night. We spoke with a senior egyptian official and he told us hes optimistic that in the next 24 hours there would be a cease fire. Hamas officials are being even more specific. Senior hamas official telling cnn that israel has agreed to the general terms but rejected the timing. Hamas conditions, according to an official, are this. Stop the air operation, air assaults and want the ground crossings, blockades to be opened up immediately. According to this hamas official israel is saying, okay, well stop the air operation but the ground crossings and blockade, we would like to do that gradually.

From a french company. They get 30 they dont even pay tax on. We have to run a country. I think simpsonbowles is the right direction, but i dont think simpsonbowles goes far enough. At one time i thought steve forbes idea was great, but he wants to keep a certain piece of money that is an entitlement. Guest and makes a very good point that we have got to have the kind of progrowth tax reform that simplifies the system, broadens the base, lower rates, but that stimulates Economic Growth and economic development. That means not only getting people back to work but it is the growing economy that creates more revenue, not higher taxes. The growth and the revenues from growth is what we really need to address the deposition and debt. Often we dont focus on that enough in the scoring, like the cbo, Congressional Budget Office scoring you see all the time, the revenue from growth is not factored in.

Given the fact that you are open about having the tone, did you face any issues well, npr is just a Distribution Network for you. They have problems with it. They have had problems with it. They are kind of used to it now. In the first few years, there would be some squirming. There would be occasional things that would create some discomfort.

Chuck shumer very happy about it. We saw the picture of he and the president locked in a partial embrace. But now members of the president s own party saying, whats going on here . Is the president throwing us under the bus to get what he wants with democrats . And how much fur
