It will take a combination of spending reduction, entitlement reform, and tax reform to stimulate more revenue. Hard and tough votes will have to be taken, but that is why we get elected to the United States senate. The world is waiting for america to lead on this issue. If we do, the u. S. Economy will respond in a very robust way. The gang of six laid the foundation for this ...

Do you foresee any possibility that dhs funding could be forestalled. I think it will be a contentious debate. I think what the president did was poorly designed. The republicans in both the house and the senate will react to it. Whether it in setup in some sort of Agency Shutdown down as opposed to government shutdown, i help not.

Its still going to be somewhat disabled because its a change is going to require the president s signature. But we have these other two backstops and i think whatever congress may do if it can do anything effective, the Administration First needs to need its help and a sequence of state decisions or Court Decisions could be the ant seedent to that.

I never release my full movie list. But lets talk to the specifics of what we now know. It was announced today and we can confirm that north korea engaged in this attack. I think it says Something Interesting about north korea that they had the state announce an allout attack on a movie starring seth rogen and james franco. I like seth and james, but a notion that they are a threat gives you some sense of the kind of regime we are talking about. They caused a lot of damage, and we will respond. ...
