I'm sure your expertise in the area would allow you to identify places where cuts could be made. Any industry can have a scalpel taken to it to cut out waste. I could save my own company and the DWP lots of money if I was an autonomous individual without the constraints of following process or answering to anyone else. No cuts are EVER implemented that way and you know it though. The same people continue to use the same methods, their efforts are just spread thinner. Increasing the age for qualification as Obama proposes isn't the sort of scalpel use you're suggesting either. It's simply an across the board removal of millions of people from the healthcare program. I have made the same point just a few posts ago that resistance to cuts is more applicable in the case of Social Security than Medicare. But Obama's starting point as a liberal should be that the Bush Tax cuts were outrageous at the same time he started wars on two fronts and implemented a $1/2trillion prescription drug program. The tax cuts need repealed and the prescription program needs reformed. He then has ground to move into where he can conced some points on medicare. His starting point though is that medicare and Social Security need to be cut, so can we get some tax increases too?
-
Only what I read from your boys Krugman and Stiglitz. I understand the Stiglitz prescription for medicare was to stop big pharma setting their own prices. He seemed to think if that provision is eliminated and the government can negotiate drug prices it would save taxpayers $1 trillion over the next 10 years. I'd be surprised if that was part of the medicare plan Obama puts in place.

Me? or Greemwald? Never had a lass that worked in a bank....and Greenwald is gay. I don't give a fuck about bankers bonuses either tbh. Private companies can do what they like within the law.

Even his phone was pissed.

Good old Greenwald put it in much more detail what will happen... http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/nov/07/obama-progressives-left-entitlements That was the day after the election. As if by magic, step 1 is well underway already. With this story from 14 hours ago... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/08/social-security-harry-reid_n_2093482.html

He has an eye on the 2014 election.

Is this a description of LM. He wouldn't be down with number 4 unfortunately. Teachers teach you how to be thick.

Sh-sh-sh-sh-shane (Turn and face the strain) Sh-sh-shaney Don't tell them to grow up and out of it Sh-sh-sh-sh-shane (Turn and face the strain) Sh-sh-shaney Where's your shane? You've left us up to our necks in it Time may change me But you can't trace time I thought the simple act of dropping Gutierrez would have been enough to turn us into a free flowing, free scoring, free crossing team that breezed past any challenges in the opposition half?
-
His name makes me think he's used underhand tactics on Bo Selecta. "Shamone! you dirtay Chitay mutherfucka mutherfucka! Wooo Hoo!!"

Shane, the two of us need look no more. We've both found what we were looking for.

Talk is that Obama will have another go at asking Iran nicely to accept being at the end of the barrel of a gun, and if they still persist with working towards a deterrent he'll bomb the shit out of them....then use it as leverage against Israel to make concessions with Palestine. Israel would just tell him to fuck off though.

Hahahahahahaha Class.

I asked you when 433 has been that much more effective. I hoped you'd back up your claims with examples. I try to select games that support or contradict a view. The fact Gutierrez played 37 of 38 games in a season you said at the time was wildly successful makes it difficult to show games where dropping him led to success. the one game he missed we lost 5 nowt. that's not selective and random at all, it's just the facts.
-
If Pardew is scared to ruffle feathers why did he leave his most expensive signing (up to that point) - Ben Arfa - on the bench for the most of last season until he started getting the performances he wanted out of him?
-
Apart from West Brom away last year, when else has Ba on the left actually worked? Remember when we tried Best there against Fulham? .com match report... We conceded 5 of course. Or remember when we were missing Gutierrez and went with Obertan and your beloved Shane against Spurs? We conceded 5 of course.
-
I don't think we all did no. I think we would assume that keeping the same players would mean the same sorts of performances. I thought we all lamented a lack of transfer activity to improve the gaping holes in the team and the awful lack of depth and resigned ourselves to another scrappy season.

I paid £100 for a Radley handbag in Fenwicks once. They're half as much in the Radley outlets at Dalton Park and that. I was seething when I found out.

We're after a hoover
-
I'd expect they'll drop more off as the days go by. They're not gonna start off by offering £2k tellys for £500.....that'll be Sunday

Being told it's 10% off and the bargain hunters are complaining that thousands of livlihoods down the drain hasn't benefitted them with bigger savings on day 1.

Obama cannot put Iraq withdrawal as an achievement iof he was negotiating to stay and failed to achieve that goal.....well he can do it cos no-one holds him to account on it....but it's outrageous that he does. You're still avoiding my only reason for suggesting a Romney win wouldn't be too bad. A right wing leader posing as a left winger and facing no liberal opposition at all can be more harmful than a complete balls to the wall right winger that faces widespread media opposition. That's why Gemmil didn't know Obama has vested the president with the right to kill US children without due process. If Romney did that every fucker would know about it. You're ignoring my point on taxes too. Obama will only raise them on the wealthy hand in hand with huge cuts in social security. Social Security isn't projected to run a deficit for decades and your boy Krugman himself says it's a con. The inclusion of medicaid in my reference to it only down to its inclusion in the grand deal. Judged on his actions with Taxes so far Obama extended the Bush tax cuts in 2010, again, not a very left wing action.

In my excitement I just instant messaged my boss rather than my Mrs that we have to go to Comet in our lunch hour
