I don't, but then I personally don't care nor do I think should anyone. Interestingly, the very next line from Krugman after the above point is: "The presidents proposal isnt perfect, by a long shot." So then by the same logic and criticism applied to Sen Ryan, Pres Obama's plan must also not be "serious"? The point being the details are totally meaningless at this point; necessarily so. Anybody that expects different is totally out of touch with how humans work. The debate now must be over the big blocks; revenues vs. spending, spending on what?, etc etc. E.g., let's cut defense. NO! we can't! So we should spend 200% of GDP on it then? Well, no, not thhhaaat much. Then how much? 50% 25%? That where we need to be right now and that's exactly what Sen Ryan started. Personally I think we need about a 25% overhead which is 5% more than Ryan and 1% more than Obama. Inside of that, though, I think we need total restructuring. E.g., Barney Frank was saying how we couldn't cut financial regulation. Why? THey don't do shit anyway. Restructure it and then cut it. You'll achieve 99% better outcomes. Treat government spending like a bankrupcy. Like what it really is. That's all I'm say ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:336313 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
