I have no problem with tax cuts for businesses that create jobs. But, it has to be something concrete and not just another loop hole that is abused. I think it can be done. My sister has a small business and she assures me that she is struggling to pay her business taxes.

This morning I'm furious with Boehner for his "other planet" remarks and by telling the committee that tax increases are off the table. I think the committee, whose members were chosen by their parties should be allowed to come up with their recommendations. I mean, if we are just going to have both sides taking a hard line before the committee even finishes the job, what was the purpose of the committee?

It would be interesting in fact, to know if the Arab Spring was at all influenced by what happened in Iraq and to what extent. I'm still not convinced that Iraqis are better off for us having invaded their country, but what's done is done. I think the take away point from Iraq is what Colin Powell told Bush -- "you break it, you bought it" and that we better figure out where the long term money is coming from before we go.
