Inode, the bad news is that Social Security and Medicare make up over half of the federal budget.

And less than a quarter of Americans favor any changes to those two entitlement programs.

About a third of all income in America these days are from entitlement programs. But according to the Democrats, that's OK because in Europe, it's 44%.

Yeah, Paul Ryan, that great "leftie", member of the Commission voted against the Simpson Bowles report. Isn't he the Republican Chairman of the House Budget Committee? Well, I'll be darned, he is...OHMIGOSH, proof positive...the Repugs are not "rational about our situation"!...Can't you "see this"?

Speaking to Charles Krauthammer last night, Fox News conservative opinion host Bill O’Reilly laid out a stark judgment of the GOP’s 2012 candidates: If I’m Obama, ‘I’m not quaking over there.” Both men agreed former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was likely the strongest candidate among all the leading Republicans.
