We must ask how good is the model. There is a story about a man from minneapolis who walked into a store, target, and asked to see the manager. His daughter was being bombarded with pregnancy related coupons from target. They asked are you trying to encourage her to get pregnant, he asked . The store manager apologized profusely.

And what the deal was, the cuts were going to be so harmful, democrats and republicans would come together to find a more sensible way to reduce the debt with tax revenue and spending cuts. Obviously, congress has not been able to make such progress. The republicans have said they dont want to do anymore revenue, even if its just a matter of closing tax loopholes for some of the wealth yesz americans and wellconnected corpora
