  1. Laffer: On The WSJ, Art Laffer advocates spending cuts, rolling back Obamacare,.....

    Ain't gonna ever happen Art, and you probably know that too. The Obamacare that is. The spending cuts? Which ethereal spending cuts Art?

    Laffer:..... and cutting unemployment insurance in exchange for raising the debt ceiling, but makes no mention of stabilizing the dollar.

    Maybe you can get the teapartiers (the real ones, not the mouthpieces) to agree with that but I doubt it. And on top of them you would also have to worry about another 50 million people exercising their second amendment rights!

    Tell ya what though Art, how's about we accelerate the Obamacare changes and save some real money in a hurry? Talk to the CBO for some ideas, o.k?
