Forbes listen to your question, that is what is call a push poll,or damn close to one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkf4wcErtH0&feature=player_embedded House Republicans have passed their plan to avoid cuts to the defense budget. And the House Armed Services Committee, under Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon’s (R-CA) leadership, even boosted the budget by $8 billion. Neither Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey nor Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta had requested the larger budget and new polling data shows that 65 percent of Americans think defense spending is already too high. But while the military’s leadership and the American public are all opposed to the House Republicans’ ballooned defense budget — which includes a $5 billion missile defense project described by Dempsey as totally unnecessary — Armed Services Committee member Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) took to CNN this morning to pushback against the critics of the proposed budget. Forbes was asked about the polling data and responded… http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/05/11/482477/forbes-ignore-polling-data-military-spending/ » Posted By bito On May 12, 2012 @ 10:31 am I like the second box, it’s sound like more theory than reality. » Posted By bito On May 12, 2012 @ 10:16 am Just what the people are demanding, more DoD spending! Need to get ready for the war with Iran I guess. Romney Will Increase Military Spending By $2.1 Trillion With No Plan To Pay For It What do you mean “no way to pay for it?” Just cut everything in th e rest of the budget! With the Pentagon’s base budget — which does not include war costs — forecast to hit 3.5% of GDP in 2013, a jump to 4% would mean an increase of around $100 billion dollars in defense spending in 2013. […] Compared to the Pentagon’s current budget, Romney’s plan would lead to $2.1 trillion in additional spending over the next ten years, according to an analysis conducted for CNNMoney by Travis Sharp, a budget expert at the Center for a New American Security. And that number assumes a gradual increase to 4% of GDP. The additional spending would hit $2.3 trillion over a decade if the Pentagon’s budget were to immediately jump to 4% of GDP.

Eduardo Saverin the billionaire to be, has changed his citizenship from a U.S. Citizen to move to Singapore that could reduce his tax bill to the US government on the offering. The move would offer the Facebook founder to evade capital gains, income taxes and the whole ball of wax and an army of tax lawyers to reduce his liability to Uncle Sam. Oddly, Saverin will have to fight FACTA which is the US implementation of new tax laws that prevent tax evasion by moving accounts offshore. Unfortunately, FACTA will not be phased in until Jan. 1, 2013, but could be backdated to include people like Saverin.

The US is a dream for investors compared to Eroupe/UK with their insatiability brought on by their austerity policies–Romney’s plan. Why take a chance on Mitt? » Posted By bito On May 11, 2012 @ 5:52 pm Uh? What the hell? Gas prices have been falling since the day after he instructed the DoJ to look into speculation. The Federal gov showed a surplus last month, first time since 2008. Most people don’t follow economy, from my experience, except the job numbers. You are right about the polls, they rarely show their methodology or the the question, the change the phraseology. I even wonder who writes their methodology and if it’s peer reviewed. It’s like a game of “Pic-a-Poll,” pick the one that fits your ideology or headline anymore. » Posted By bito On May 11, 2012 @ 5:32 pm Salon did a rehash of the WaPo article, however the have this bit at the end where Mitt’s people are looking for some of the fellow students for some report, seems the opposite is what they got: Another classmate and old friend of Romney’s told ABC “a lot of guys” who went to Cranbrook have “really negative memories” of Romney’s behavior there. He described it as “evil” and “like Lord of the Flies.” The classmate, who wouldn’t be named, says Romney is lying when he says he can’t remember the hair-cutting incident. “It makes these fellows [who have owned up to it] very remorseful. For [Romney] not to remember it? It doesn’t ring true. How could the fellow with the scissors forget it?” the former classmate said. http://www.salon.com/2012/05/10/mitt_the_prep_school_sadist/singleton// H/T @susand900 via twitter, it is up on our time line. » Posted By bito On May 11, 2012 @ 2:40 pm What do they say about teens who are mean to animals and are bullies? Just saying. » Posted By bito On May 11, 2012 @ 2:31 pm Hey Ralph, you have been missed! That link is really cool, but what are you trying to do, buddy up with KQuark? A “Charm KQuark” ? » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 11:36 pm Pretty lose with the petty cash there, buddy. 😉 » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 11:06 pm I wonder if I should be surprised, it is Arizona! I wonder what the players thought and if they wanted to play o was it the RWNJ in charge of the taxpayer funded charter school? Teaching our boys to treat ladies with deference, we choose not to place them in an athletic competition where proper boundaries can only be respected with difficulty,” Fox reported the official as saying in a statement. “Our school aims to instill in our boys a profound respect for women and girls,” it added. Media reports described Our Lady of Sorrows as being run by traditionalist, conservative priests who do not agree with Roman Catholic Church reforms enacted by the Vatican II Council in the 1960s and who broke from the Church in the 1980s. And she is hitting .530 with 39 home runs and has the leading RBI’s in the league! » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 10:50 pm Mitts new Campaign slogan: H/T ThinkProgress http://twitpic.com/9jjiwz » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 10:29 pm Isn’t the best thing a parent/ teacher can teach is to think? Sounds like you did that Sally. » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 10:20 pm But Mitt claims that marriage is between ONE man and ONE women. Multiple wives and multiple husbands is not just biblical is it? It’s history in various cultures » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 10:17 pm My favorite lines – JPM will likely take a $2 billion losses because of a synthetic credit position. And: – “The original premise of the synethic credit exposure was to hedge the company in a stress credit environment. That was the original proposition for the portfolio.” – But, Dimon adds that hedging the portfolio was a bad strategy and it was poorly monitored. Maybe favorite is a “wrong word choice” but it sounds like they up to their same stupid tricks as if the housing bubble never even happened. Levin (below) is exactly right. Know wonder the banks invest so much cash in the R’s to fight the full and fair enforcement of the Dodd-Frank law. They want to keep up their bankster ways. » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 10:04 pm Was this one of two of the anti-gay amendments in a military (DoD) bill, I think it may have been. » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 9:49 pm Sally these types of mistreatment has been going on for many years under Shruff Joe and people have been calling for a federal investigation for just as long. The Bush DoJ ignored it and Obama’s DoJ has taken a long time, so long that these charges better be airtight. The other thing is he has cost the county taxpayers millions of dollars for out of court settlements up to and including people getting killed due police misconduct and covered up. » Posted By bito On May 10, 2012 @ 9:45 pm Fannie Mae posts profit, abstains from new U.S. aid Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB), the largest backer of loans in the U.S. housing market, posted a profit on Wednesday and said it would not need more taxpayer aid for the first time since the height of the financial crisis in late 2008, when it was rescued by the government. In a new sign that the U.S. housing market is on the mend, the mortgage giant posted a first-quarter profit of $2.7 billion. That was its best performance since being pushed to the verge of collapse by the U.S. housing crash and the surge in bad debts on its books. Fannie Mae said it paid the Treasury $2.8 billion in dividends to the government, which owns nearly 80 percent of the firm. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/09/us-usa-fanniemae-idUSBRE8481DD20120509 Add this two the two from yesterday, https://planetpov.com/2011/12/01/time-out-for-ot-vol-18/comment-page-106/#comment-182408 the AIG payment/profit and the budget surplus it looks like the economy is turning a corner. Of course none of these three good news stories “make news.” » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 9:52 pm There was rumor floating around on twitter today that Shep Smith was being looked at for a spot on Current » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 8:02 pm What took him so long? I remember a President that wouldn’t even speak the words aids, a President that signed bills called DADT and DOMA and presidents that nothing to very little for the LBGT community. What the fuck took him so long? 3+ years? That’s long? Blacks actually voting? How long was that? Women voting? How long was that? 40 hour work week, minimum wage? How long was that? Child labor laws? Fuck those people, do they even know what struggle is, or just how to blog/tweet about it? » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 6:02 pm ‘I Know Other People Have Differing Views’ I know other people have some core convictions Now let me tell you about my dad marching with MLK, my hunting prowess, and how Obama killed the Oldsmobile and the beloved Edsel! » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 5:30 pm The MSM sure got that off the front page along with his lying about how he saved the auto industry and other lies. » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 4:26 pm fc, here is the thing that I don’t under stand, from what I have heard Biden has accepted same sex marriage since he was in the senate and when he ran as VP Joe, this thing was more of a MSM setup-put PBO in the corner-make the race tighter-raise the ad rates-ploy. It stinks like that to me. I am glad for the LGBT community but his coming out for them means very little legally. And with this congress it means nothing to them, it just gives them ammunition for their bigoted remarks. » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 4:24 pm Is there a bit of good coming out from the Trayvon Martin death? Perhaps for some. Trayvon Martin case spurs young adults’ interest in civil-rights groups Trayvon Martin has boosted the profile of the NAACP and the Urban League among the young black adults both organizations have been trying to attract in recent years. The Martin killing heightened awareness of what the Urban League and the NAACP do, and how it relates to a generation for whom civil rights seems like ancient history. » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 4:08 pm I saw this story go across the ticker on MSNBC this morning but not any other coverage. I guess ’10’ words across the ticker is all it deserves. What the hell, it only has to do with the economy. no big deal! 🙁 I haven’t heard a peep on the Bob Cesca/KQ story not one. » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 2:29 pm Problem is this was nothing new to what Biden said, he held the same views when he was in the Senate and when he ran on the ticket for VP. Bloody Tweety acted like Gregory “made big news” in his interview with Biden. This has nothing to do with Obama or Biden, it has to do with the cable networks. » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 2:20 pm From Obama2012’s “Truth Team”, their response to Mitt an the auto “bailout”(it was/is a loan) Mitt Romney Versus Reality: Auto Recovery Edition » Posted By bito On May 9, 2012 @ 12:06 am Good ‘un Khirad! » Posted By bito On May 8, 2012 @ 10:41 pmComments Posted By bito
