enough as they call it a module. but there is going to be that part of try to help the economy stuff in the budget. now it is a case of boehner over and over and again beginning in the 2011 debt ceiling negotiations and continuing on until now, where he rejects 9 budget before any real negotiations again, he keeps saving liberals from president obama s desire to reach a bipartisan budget deal that would, in fact, cut medicare and social security. in that way they have kind of been united. we end up getting nothing because the republicans say no to anything the president puts forward. if the republicans are willing to say yes, liberals would be really mad because what the president is willing it say yes to is stuff that would actually be way more either austere or difficult for populations for people with social security than liberals are willing to see happen, right? there is a bit of that. the white house s argument would go this way, they would say, what they want to do is replac
the next ten years, they happen as much this year as next year, as much next year as the year after and that s the opposite of what you would want to do. they want to replace it with a larger total amount of deficit reduction. it would be back loaded. a lot less in year one, and then in year two and less in year three than year four. overall they think that would be a better glide path for the recovery. in that, they are right. i have argued before, i don t mind the way the sequester cuts are organized in terms of having half in defense and half else. if you could give the president or somebody who had some smarts here, discretion over not just how to arrange them within the big buckets but how to glide them in over the time dimension of sequester, i would actually be fine with sequester. i think defense should be cut and i don t understand why liberals and the white house think it would be so much better to raise taxes on say rich people giving money to charity than to cut defense spe
the cancer drug story was first reported by sarah cliff who writes for ezra klein s blog over at the washington post. whether it is local news covering the impacts state by state of the sequester or it is wonkier than your usual blog blogs spelling out how cuts that weren t supposed to hurt medicare patients ended up hurting them anyway. whether it is the slow national sinking in of the realization that if you cut head start by this much, that means that some places, like indiana, are going to start deciding whether or not american children can go to preschool by lottery. that s their only chance at preschool in their whole lives forever, decided by lottery. whether it is micro level news or today s macro level news that seemed to show the squeeze that this self-inflicted nonsense is starting to put on the overall jobs picture in our economy. whatever it takes to sink in it kind of feels like it s sinking in. so why did the president just
businesses more than two billion dollars to grow jobs, cut middle class income taxes to the lowest rate in sixty years, and we re creating tax free zones for business startups. the new new york is working creating tens of thousands of new businesses, and we re just getting started. to grow or start your business visit thenewny.com today after causing a few hours of rather widespread panic, the federal aviation administration relented and announced it would not be shutting down air traffic control towers in 38 states. even though the sequester is forcing the faa to cut more than $600 million out of its budget the faa announced after a few hours of upset today they will not find that money by taking away air traffic control towers from small and medium-sized airports in 38 states. because that would be crazy, right? so we are not going to do that. we re not going to do that until
i don t think lincoln had an english accent, to the best of my knowledge. i said that lincoln never sounded like that. i thought he played the role. i thought it was affected and i just don t think that lincoln behaved like that. he talked very, very slowly. i know lots of politicians and i know lots of successful people and they don t talk like that. they talk with rapidity, otherwise you ll never get anything done. the way he talked, you want to fall asleep. i knew he was gog win. i felt he was probably going to win because everybody is talk being what great actor, and he probably is, but i did not think he was good in lincoln at all. peter: you knew abe lincoln, he was no abe lincoln. i had a lot of criticism last night. i said that is not the way abe lincoln spoke and people said, oh, were you there? how do you know? well, i know he didn t have a english accent, that s one thing. i know he was a much more dynamic president. when you watched the performance, he was always so s
