    oh the irony..

    The President’s “sequester” offer slashes non-defense spending by $830 billion over the next ten years. That happens to be the precise amount we’re implicitly giving Wall Street’s biggest banks over the same time period.

    We’re collecting nothing from the big banks in return for our generosity. Instead we’re demanding sacrifice from the elderly, the disabled, the poor, the young, the middle class – pretty much everybody, in fact, who isn’t “too big to fail.”

    Read On..

    Are Campaign for America's Future a PAC?
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    I do love the way the reporter writes...

    That’s injustice on a medieval scale
    WTH does a Yank know of that time period? Doesn't US history begin about a millenium afterwards?

    It would be interesting to know much have we, the tax-payer, bailed UK banks out for?

    Yeah republican PAC.

    Hilarious thing about this whole mess; The deficit is already shrinking and the debt poses absolutely no threat to the American economy, even if it were double it's current level. The only real threat is the debt limit, sequester and congress( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIbko...dwmw_D&index=9 ). If they just let the economy grow for a few years it would become meaningless as a ratio to GDP anyway.

    They are hostage to Wall Street though. No doubt about that. If they really cared about the deficit you could wipe it out with a few reasonable taxes on them(The average rate for Wall st is less than 5%, often much less), compared to nearly 40% for Joe Bloggs working 9 to 5.

    Re: oh the irony..

    Pallin isnt exaggerating either ... esp when you see who the DHS are using for target practice..

    Just by coincidence it so happens they also purchased 7000 fully automatic assault rifles too

    No worries here though, we'll just meekly surrender in the face of more and more cuts and blatant Totalitarian measures being insidiously executed - after all what else are we going to do ?

    Sit down and reason with them when we have nothing to bargain with ?
