Re: Insane GOP opposition to repealing tax cuts

So I repeat my question. Of the money actually being spent, what you cut? Not the source, the actual expenditure. On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 10:43 AM, Sam wrote: > > So we didn't even start to pay the $Trillion health care bill yet we > can't pay our existing bills. You do know we will have to p

Re: Insane GOP opposition to repealing tax cuts

So we didn't even start to pay the $Trillion health care bill yet we can't pay our existing bills. You do know we will have to pay that health care bill very soon? The stimulus money that was paid back is being spent on new pork. The unspent money should be sent back and used to to pay down the d

Re: Insane GOP opposition to repealing tax cuts

Very little has been spent on health care, so the one trillion dollar health care figure is pure fantasy. Unspent stimulus money is "unspent". You have difficulty with that concept, or just refuse to believe anything non-Rovian? On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 8:44 AM, Sam wrote: > > So we didn't act

Oregon seeing a large number of glowing shrimp

Folks have been calling the agriculture extension in larger than normal numbers to ask the question, "Uh, should my shrimp be glowing in the dark and is it safe to eat?". Turns out that the answer is "yes". http://www.portlandfoodanddrink.com/2010/08/12/excuse-me-waiter-my-shrimp-is-glowing ~~~
