The bill cuts total spending by $111 billion in FY2012 compared to the Congressional Budget Office FY2012 baseline. The FY 2012 savings are divided as follows: Reduces non-security discretionary spending below 2008 levels, which saves $76 billion. Of course there are certain, specific circumstances that would require a waiver of the balanced budget amendment. The bill does allow for a waiver of the amendment if a declaration of war against a nation-state is in effect. It also allows three-fifths of Congress to waive the amendment for expenditures related to a military conflict “that causes an imminent and serious threat to national security.” It is important to note that the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act of 2011 makes no changes to Medicare, Social Security or Veterans spending. The bill also provides for an increase in the debt ceiling of $2.4 trillion only if a balanced budget amendment passes Congress and is sent to the states for ratification. If there is one clear message that is being sent to Congress by the American people, it is that we must get our fiscal house in order. Since 2008, non-defense discretionary spending has increased 84% (includes the failed stimulus bill, source: House Republican Budget Committee). We simply cannot afford to continue down the path of reckless spending with no accountability of how we plan to pay our bills. I do not support defaulting on our debt but any debt limit increase must be coupled with spending cuts and assurance that the U.S. will not be put in this position again. Please take this week’s survey on the Cut, Cap and Balance Act, I appreciate your input. Sincerely, KEN CALVERT Then check out the bogus *survey* Cut, Cap and Balance Survey Do you support increasing the debt limit under the above circumstances? » Posted By PatsyT On July 22, 2011 @ 3:56 pm Right now he is wearing their uniform, and it stinks like the guy that took it off and gave it to him. » Posted By PatsyT On July 19, 2011 @ 10:16 pm When you have the bases loaded and you need a power hitter, » Posted By PatsyT On July 19, 2011 @ 10:06 pm Those are some spicy comments along with » Posted By PatsyT On July 14, 2011 @ 1:14 pm That link worked for me » Posted By PatsyT On July 14, 2011 @ 1:10 pm Lets see if this one works https://www.facebook.com/ericcantor?ref=ts&sk=wall » Posted By PatsyT On July 14, 2011 @ 1:07 pm A flash mob to tell Eric Cantor what you think…. on facebook It’s time for another Flash Mob Protest. This time…. Eric Cantor (R-VA): https://www.facebook.com/ericcantor?ref=ts&sk=wall As the Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has been a leader in many of the ridiculous battles going on over the debt ceiling. At a time when we need JOBS Cantor is more concerned about making sure that Obama is not re-elected, that Corporations and the top 2% get tax breaks, that Big Oil continues to get their subsidies, that the Government cut funding for healthcare, education and social security AND…. *He wants College Students to be required to PAY their loans while STILL in school!* That’s right student, no more deferment until you graduate and find a job. Now you get to try and graduate in 4 years while working full time just to make ends meet! The Goal: How a FB Flash Mob Works: **If his admins find out about this event and lock down his page, give him a call instead or send him an email! 🙂 (feel free to do this regardless!)

Cher, » Posted By PatsyT On July 13, 2011 @ 10:00 am Right you are bito! » Posted By PatsyT On July 13, 2011 @ 2:40 pm Bito what do you make of this ? July 13, 2011 “Please be advised that the David Cay Johnston column published on Tuesday stating that Rupert Murdoch’s U.S.-based News Corp made money on income taxes is wrong and has been withdrawn. News Corp’s filings show the company changed reporting conventions in its 2007 annual report when it reversed the way it showed positive and negative numbers. A new column correcting and explaining the error in more detail will be issued shortly.” A transcript of the original interview is now available by clicking on the transcript link at the right of the “listen” box above. Johnston is expected to appear on Morning Edition Thursday to offer further clarification. We will provide updates as they become available. http://www.npr.org/2011/07/13/137811869/how-news-corp-received-billions-in-tax-refunds » Posted By PatsyT On July 13, 2011 @ 1:56 pm Shnook ! HA! Murdoch’s legs don’t look as good as the shnook above. » Posted By PatsyT On July 13, 2011 @ 1:54 pm If you just take the stuff they put on the air in the US, that should be enough for a shutdown. Over the past three weeks the network has run dozens of segments attacking Media Matters — on Fox “news” and opinion shows, on the Fox Business Network, and as the top three simultaneous lead stories on its website, Fox Nation. They have repeatedly encouraged viewers to file complaints with the IRS, even providing a direct link to a pre-filled form on their website. This attack is nothing more than an attempt by Fox News to silence a vocal critic. Because they’re nervous about how we’re exposing what they truly are. We will continue working every day to make sure America’s political dialogue is based in fact. httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMj1uOi3n2M&feature=youtu.be I love the Fox Lies Guy! » Posted By PatsyT On July 13, 2011 @ 12:47 pm Weekend Music Thread – Got Change? Thank you KT » Posted By PatsyT On July 10, 2011 @ 12:26 am Hmmm, a one trick pony maybe. » Posted By PatsyT On July 10, 2011 @ 12:13 am 98 years ago, this music was such a change that it caused riots in the streets of Paris.
Stravinsky’s music is famous for causing a riot at its premiere. It was a warm spring evening in Paris on May 29, 1913, and Hoffman says the well-heeled crowd at the Champs Élysées Theatre was not ready for jagged rhythms, crunching discord, and the strange jerking of the dancers on stage. “The ballet was choreographed by the great Nijinsky,” Hoffman says, “and the noise, fighting, and shouting in the audience got so loud, he had to shout out the numbers to the dancers so that they knew what they were supposed to do.” http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88490677 The Joffrey Ballet’s recreation of the 1913 Nijinsky choreography of Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps. httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSIGH2s0G-U&feature=related » Posted By PatsyT On July 9, 2011 @ 10:15 pm Feeling Good Nina Simone » Posted By PatsyT On July 9, 2011 @ 2:24 pm We still need Radio!

It’s as if he has a book coming out and is doing his PR tour.
There is info about him but,
nothing specific on his funders.
I think it’s been scrubbed on the internets.
Anyone have any ideas?
Makes $35 billion in cuts to non-veterans, non-Medicare, non-Social Security mandatory spending.
Holds FY12 Defense Budget to the Republican Budget level of $530 billion.
The bill, of which I was a cosponsor, also sets a spending cap on federal spending, bringing it down from 22.5% of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2012, to 19.9% of GDP in 2021. Most importantly, the bill requires the passage of a balanced budget amendment before raising the nation’s debt limit.
Were you aware that the House passed the Cut, Cap and Balance Act which would cut and limit future spending?
Yes
No
Unsure
The Cut, Cap and Balance Act provides for an increase in the debt limit only if a balanced budget amendment passes Congress and is transmitted to the states for ratification.
Yes
No
Unsure
If no, are there any circumstances in which you would accept an increase in the debt limit?
Yes
No
Unsure

You are a total sweetie! Thank you for being a great role model.
Getting out there and involving yourself in local elections is SO important!
But don’t hold your breath.
So…
lets just pretend we didn’t hear that npr piece….
the vacuum was running,
the dishwasher was making noise,
the traffic was acting up,
the dogs were barking.
Really, thats this is what would Fox do, isn’t it?
Editor’s Note: Reuters issued an advisory indicating that the column written by David Cay Johnston, on which this interview with Johnston was based, was wrong:

Good Radio
The cities/towns back east had their niche in radio
When I was really young
It was one of those black transistors radios
covered in red leather playing WIXY 1260
I was so happy
Playing all the hits.

This was one of my favorites from Cleveland, WCLV
There was one program on that station
that ended its evening with this music
Howard Hanson
Symphony No. 2
Andante con Tenerezza
(yes they used this music in the film “Alien”)
httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H6abSJnTwg&feature=related
That email makes some great points
But somewhere in between the things they did right and
the thing todays young folks are doing right,
Is a balance.
I did grow up in Cleveland where we saw the Cuyahoga river burning.
But I had the job on weekends of pushing a real lawnmower!
Pushing that lawnmower was real work and only made worse when the grass was wet!
Ahhh the good old days
We have lived in the Rancho San Clemente for over ten years.
We are all very concerned about the Safety of SONGS.
I want to listen to all views on the Safety of SONGS.
If it takes a little more time I think we owe that to our citizens.
the other side more time and respect on the subject of safety of their Nuclear Plants.
Before March, the nuclear industry had their say in Japan, did all of the people?
NO!
If only they had the chance to have their voices heard and respected.
If only they had followed some of the simple suggestions.
Do not let their tragedy become our tragedy.
Do not make the same mistakes.
Listen to All The Views.
The public has the right to be well informed.
You must provide the balanced information to the public.
Anything else is plainly un-American.

It changes everyday.
Big things happening with the Tar Sands as well as
Fukushima
Hell no!
They have to spend all their time waxing and waning about Perry & Bachman.

Something with SNL cast members in it
I hear they stop flooding, tornados and prevent damage from earthquakes.
