Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just told reporters that he will not be moving Senator Debbie Stabenow??s 10-year, $247 billion freeze on doctors?? Medicare payments.fake ugg boots He said he thought he had the votes ?? and was promised Republican 27 votes from the AMA ?? but has since realized he doesn??t. ??I don??t bring anything to the floor unless I think I have the votes,?? Reid said, answering a question about the apparent shortfall of support. ??I was told by various people that we??d have 27 Republican votes, which seemed reasonable since Senator Jon Kyl was the co-sponsor of this legislation. So I was stunned when I was told by his co-sponsor, Senator Stabenow, that, no, he wouldn??t support it.fake louis vuitton shoes??
Reid said he??s now looking at a ??multiple year fix.?? Jim Manley, Reid??s senior adviser, said after the press conference (which happened to be on revoking health insurers’ anti-trust exemption) that the majority leader hasn??t decided yet how many years the fix will be, though we’re still expecting a cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the issue this afternoon. Senators Conrad and Grassley have proposed a two-year fix and are looking for offsets for the $24 billion bill.?The $247 billion bill had no offsets.fake louis vuitton shoes
Kyl, the No. 2 Senate Republican, yesterday told reporters that his original bill with Stabenow ?? which provided for a 2.6% increase in fees Medicare pays to doctors one year and a 2.7% increase a second year ?? was ??very different legislation?? than the 10-year freeze proposed by Democrats this week.chanel handbags for sale No word if a curtailed solution would still appease the AMA and AARP and whether the House might consider passing a similar stand alone bill.
Update:
The vote failed cloture 47-53. Word is Reid will not bring up his multiple year fix until after the big health care reform bill passes — whenever that may be. The AMA’s statement:
??The AMA is deeply disappointed?that?the Senate today blocked consideration of S.cheap gucci belts 1776, legislation to preserve access?to health care for America??s seniors, baby boomers and military families. Senator Stabenow is a long-time champion for patients and physicians, and the AMA, AARP and MOAA strongly supported her bill that would have laid the foundation to permanently fix the Medicare physician payment formula and keep Medicare strong as millions of baby boomers enter the program in just two years.
??As we work to improve the health system, permanent repeal of the payment formula is essential to ensuring the security and stability of Medicare. On January first, Medicare physician payments are scheduled to be cut by 21 percent, with more cuts in years to come.fake chanel shoes Nearly 90 percent of people age 50 and older are concerned that the current Medicare physician payment formula threatens their access to care.
??While short-term fixes have temporarily averted widespread access problems, they have also grown the size of the problem ?? and the cost of reform. The AMA is committed to fixing the Medicare payment problem once and for all for seniors, baby boomers and the physicians who care for them.
??There is widespread agreement among Republicans and Democrats that the formula is broken and needs to be repealed.handbags louis vuitton Congress created the Medicare physician payment system, and Congress needs to fix this problem once and for all to fulfill its obligation to seniors, baby boomers and military families.? Permanent repeal of the Medicare physician payment formula is essential to comprehensive health system reform.

We got sad word this morning of the death of Jack Nelson, longtime D.fake ugg bootsC. bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times and my first boss in Washington. He won his Pulitzer in 1960, for a series of stories exposing the abuses at a state hospital for the mentally ill in Georgia, and went on to distinguish himself covering the civil rights movement, Watergate and every other story that came his way in a career that stretched over more than half a century. But his proudest achievement, he would tell you, was building one damn fine Washington bureau.louis vuitton replica
Condolences to Barbara Matusow, the love of his life, and to Jack’s children. I will be forever grateful for everything he taught me.

There appears to be real progress toward an interim nuclear deal with Iran.handbags louis vuitton Of course, assorted neoconservatives will see this as appeasement or a betrayal or the impending end of life on earth as we know it…but they’re wrong. It’s not nirvana, but it’s a step in the right direction. ?It may mean that the anti-missile deal that Obama cooked with the Russians, the U.S.louis vuitton shoes replica advances toward Syria, the internal troubles that the Iranian government is facing, all have had an impact on convincing the regime to cooperate. It could also mean that the Iranians may continue on the nuclear path in a more circuitous manner (although our improved human intelligence capabilities–and, in fairness, we should thank George W. Bush for that–will probably suss that out).
One thing is certain: It wouldn’t be happening if we were still pursuing Bush’s intransigent policy toward Iran–or John McCain’s free-range bellicosity.gucci outlet online This is not a triumph for Barack Obama, but it is a small victory. Successful diplomacy is the art of producing small victories and avoiding large defeats.

Rick Santorum released his tax returns to Politico’s Maggie Haberman on Wednesday night.cheap gucci belts Santorum is the third of the four remaining Republican presidential candidates to unveil a peek into his family’s finances, following Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. But he’s pulled back the curtain to a greater degree by providing four years’ worth, dating back to 2007. They provide a snapshot of a candidate whose personal wealth has blossomed since he was ousted from the Senate.?
Santorum’s income climbed from $659,000 in 2007 to a peak of $1.fake uggs1 million in 2009 before dipping back to $923,000 in 2010. He’s paid between 25% and 28.5% in taxes during those years, topping out at $310,000 in 2009. That rate is sharply higher than Mitt Romney’s, because the latter reaped his income primarily from capital gains on investments.chanel outlet
(MORE: The Saga of Rick Santorum’s Second Surge)
Two aspects of Santorum’s tax return have attracted much of the media’s scrutiny. First, the returns show that Santorum is a wealthy guy who has profited from his Capitol Hill connections, a fact Romney’s campaign has sought to drive home by cutting ads that cast Santorum as a “Washington insider.” And he is. The former Pennsylvania Senator?likes to accentuate his blue-collar family background on the campaign trail, telling stories about his coal-mining grandfather and his public-employee parents.louis vuitton handbags for sale His campaign believes that Romney’s bearing — frequently described as “presidential” by supporters — is a hindrance in a primary whose backdrop is the economic hardship that has ravaged voters over the past few years. On the trail in New Hampshire, Santorum would announce — apropos of nothing in particular — that he’d feel great pride if one of his sons eschewed college to devote himself to being the best auto mechanic around.
There is no question Santorum’s advisers see the everyman image as a selling point and are actively working to play it up, though they insist it’s genuine. They stress that he is a regular guy, the kind who’s not so far removed from the quotidian details most of us worry about, such as the price of a gallon of gas or milk.fake gucci shoes (He self-prepared his tax returns, for example.) They love recalling a New York Times?infographic that revealed the contrast between the scope of the candidates’ campaigns: Romney, with a phalanx of aides and a chartered jet; Santorum with a Dodge pickup and no entourage. “There’s an authenticity he has. He’s not this West Wing-created character,” says John Brabender, a Santorum strategist.louis vuitton belts “We actually think that has long-term benefits, not just in the Republican primary but in the general election.” Fair enough. But the Dodge RAM and the sweater vest are icons designed to occlude the fact that Santorum is wealthy. He’s not in Romney’s stratosphere, but by no means middle-class.fake louis vuitton shoes
The revelation that’s drawn more animated discussion is the level of Santorum’s charitable donations. From 2007 to 2010, the family donated a little more than 2% of their income to charity. The charge critics are leveling against Santorum is hypocrisy: that for a devout Catholic who stresses the importance of following church teachings, and who has made faith-based charity a personal cause, he’s not “walking the walk,” as conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post puts it.?CNNMoney, in a story titled “Santorum’s Charitable Donations Lag Rivals,” note that according to the IRS and CBO, people with incomes over $500,000 donate 3.fake chanel shoes4% of their wealth on average, and quotes an analyst saying, “When you put it in the context of people of faith, then it really is on the low side.”
(MORE: Rick Santorum’s Unlucky Timing)
A couple of points are worth noting. The?catechism?of Catholic church states that members are “obliged to assist with the material needs of the Church, each according to his own ability.” So Santorum hasn’t fallen short of any religious dictate.louis vuitton handbags for sale By contrast, Mitt Romney belongs to the Mormon Church, which requires members to tithe 10%. Romney met that requirement in 2010 plus some, donating 13.8% of his income. While Romney’s giving was exceptional, Santorum’s was relatively average.louis vuitton replica As the Chronicle of Philanthropy notes, in the $500k-$1 million bracket, the average charitable donation was 2.6% of total income. By contrast:?Newt Gingrich, who made $3.1 million in 2010, gave 3%.handbags louis vuitton Barack Obama, who reported $1.8 million that year, gave 13.6%. Joe Biden, as conservatives gleefully pointed out, gave less than 1% in each of the 10 years of returns he provided after being tapped for the Democratic ticket in 2008.replica louis vuitton
So Santorum’s level of giving is higher than some, lower than others, and relatively in line with the national norm. Consider also his personal situation. He has seven young children for whom he provides, including a toddler with a rare illness that requires special care. The cost of living in Northern Virginia is expensive.louis vuitton handbags for sale That’s not too say he’s a hard case. Nor does he claim to be. In a 2005 profile of Santorum, then fighting to keep his Senate seat, New York Times Magazine writer Michael Sokolove had an interesting section about the family’s financial health:
[They] live in Leesburg, Va., about an hour from Washington and as close to Washington as they could afford a home big enough for their family…Santorum says he does not want his home-state voters to think he feels impoverished on his $162,100 Senate salary, but it is clear that money is a concern and that he is almost certainly one of the least well-off among the 100 senators.fake louis vuitton shoes
”We live paycheck to paycheck, absolutely,” he says. Does he have money set aside for college? ”No. None. I always tell my kids: ‘Work hard.replica louis vuitton We’ll take out loans. Whatever.’ ” He volunteers that his parents help out financially. ”They’re by no means wealthy — they’re two retired V.chanel handbags for sale A. employees — but they’ll send a check every now and then. They realize things are a little tighter for us.”
Santorum is far too competitive to want to lose his Senate seat, but he operates in Washington like a man who is not afraid of defeat and, on some level, would welcome its benefits.louis vuitton outlet online More than once in our conversations, he mentioned that losing would not be without a financial upside. ”Everyone says, ‘Senator, the worst thing that could happen to you is you could lose and spend more time with your kids and help pay for college,’ ” he told me.
Indeed, losing had a financial upside. But charity is a personal choice.ugg boots outlet I would wager that plenty of the people publicly criticizing Santorum for being “stingy” privately donate less than he does. In any event, I’m not sure why it has any bearing on whether he would make a good President.

Sure it took a month to declare the actual winner of the Iowa caucuses, tallies from eight precincts were lost altogether and vote counting in Nevada dragged on for days, but you can’t really understand the depth of dysfunction in the caucus system until you behold the caricature of incompetence that is Maine.louis vuitton speedy
Here’s a rough timeline of what happened:
–Last Saturday, Maine Republican Party chairman Charlie Webster announced that Mitt Romney had won his state’s caucuses.
–Several localities, some delayed by weather others just following the schedule, hadn’t yet held their caucuses, so Ron Paul supporters, chafing at the loss, asked for some clarity.
–The Maine GOP “re-canvass[ed] counties and municipalities to recount vote totals” on Thursday, according to Politico, which sounds fancy, but really consisted of Webster sending around an e-mail to local officials asking them to e-mail him their tallies.
–On Friday, the recount turned out to be inaccurate because “there were clerical errors that did not significantly change the numbers.louis vuitton neverfull” What kind of clerical errors, you ask?
In addition, Webster said ??about a half a dozen?? towns never added to the tally on election night and that, in a couple of cases, e-mails from municipalities reporting caucus results actually ??went to spam?? in the state party??s email system.
Give it up for the world’s greatest democracy, folks.

For the past several weeks, few people have been enjoying the Republican presidential campaign quite as much as Foster Friess.fake louis vuitton shoes The 71-year-old mutual fund millionaire from Wyoming, who has emerged as the key backer of Rick Santorum’s super PAC, has taken advantage of the access his largesse affords by joining the candidate on the campaign trail. While a Santorum surge began stirring in the Iowa cornfields, Friess was a passenger in the gunmetal Dodge RAM — nicknamed the “Chuck Truck,” because it belonged to local supporter Chuck Laudner — that schlepped Santorum around the Hawkeye State. On Election Night, he bounded into the Stoney Creek Inn in Johnston, Iowa, to regale reporters with tales from the caucus site he’d visited. Asked if he was enjoying himself, Friess beamed, “If I was any better I’d be an astronaut.louis vuitton neverfull It’s one of the most incredible experiences of America I’ve ever had.”
On Feb. 7, he was back standing over Santorum’s right shoulder as the candidate addressed a suburban St. Louis ballroom on the night Santorum’s three-state sweep vaulted him back into the thick of the GOP nomination fight.gucci handbag for sale Three days later, he was tapped to introduce Santorum for the candidate’s address at CPAC. “Life is just so much fun and so filled with humor,” began the snowy-haired financier, clad in a sweater vest of his own. “There’s a little bar a couple doors down and recently a conservative, a liberal and a moderate walked into the bar.” Pause a beat.fake louis vuitton “The bartender says, ‘Hi Mitt!’” As the crowd cheered, Friess busted out into laughter at his own joke.

Now Friess’s sense of humor has gotten him into hot water. During an interview Thursday with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, Friess was asked about Santorum’s stance on social issues, including comments he’s made about contraception. His reply: “We maybe need a massive therapy session so we can concentrate on what the real issues are.handbags louis vuitton And this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s such inexpensive. Back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.” Within minutes, the remark ricocheted around the Internet.chanel outlet Friess quickly arranged a nighttime appearance to quash the hubbub. And Santorum was forced to distance himself from his biggest patron. “I’m not responsible for every comment that a supporter of mine makes,” the former Senator told Charlie Rose. “It was a bad joke.louis vuitton backpack for sale It was a stupid joke. It’s not reflective of me or my record.”
The kerfuffle may dull the enthusiasm Friess has thus far evinced on the campaign trail. But it’s not likely to affect Friess’s relationship with Santorum.fake uggs In an email to TIME this week, Friess said he had gained an appreciation for Santorum’s empathy and bearing while traveling with the candidate on the campaign trail. “There is a deep-seated kindness and love for other people, particularly the blue-collar, non-elitist folks that he so identifies with,” Friess says. “People gravitate to him because of his authenticity and the way he answers questions directly…People like him, believe he’s honest, and share his core values about what makes America great.”
Friess shares many of those core values, including Santorum’s emphasis on the importance of his faith.replica gucci shoes In 1978, when he was nearing 40, and struggling to balance his business success with his fraying family relationships, Friess became a Christian. “I did one of those ??born again?? things and invited Jesus to become the ??Chairman of the Board,’” he writes on his website, titled “Man Atop the Horse.”
(LIST: Rick Santorum’s Vests and the Top 10 Political Fashion Statements)
Friess has deep ties to conservative Christian causes, and invokes their shared faith as one of the things that underpin his support of Santorum. “What strikes me about Rick is that he truly embraces the Corinthians 13 admonition,” he says.loui vuitton “He has absolutely no hate toward [people who protest his views.] He actually prays for those who persecute him.”
Though he’s only now vaulting to national prominence, the cowboy-hatted investor has been a renowned donor in conservative circles for some time. According to FEC records, he’s ponied up well more than $1 million to conservative politicians.replica chanel shoes He’s also given millions to the Daily Caller, a Washington-based conservative website, as well as to charities. The Guardian reported that Friess and his wife forked over $5 million to aid relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, the Haitian earthquake and the Asian tsunami.
Friess’s financial support for Santorum dates back at least to 1997. But in recent months he’s emerged as the single most influential figure in sustaining Santorum’s shoestring campaign through lean times.gucci outlet online According to FEC records, as of Dec. 31, he had given $331,000 to the Red, White and Blue Fund, a Santorum-allied super PAC, and he’s indicated that more will likely be on the way. “My contribution level will be revealed soon, but even if it’s a million dollars, that’s really not much of a sacrifice when you think of these young 18- and 19-year-olds strapping a gun on their back and going off to Afghanistan and Iraq to protect the freedoms we cherish,” he says.

When they are static or falling, incumbent parties tend to lose.
On Monday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released December’s income growth rate. It is modestly better than the month of November, an increase from negative 0.replica gucci shoes1% to 0.3%, but still basically flat. So what does that mean for Obama? Nothing particularly good. Last fall, economist Douglas Hibbs Jr.replica chanel shoes ran the numbers, predicting sort of growth that Obama needs to be in a comfortable margin of victory by historic standards. It looks like this:
There is still time. Hibbs is calculating quarterly data, and December is just a month, with some momentum behind it that could continue into the Spring. It is also true, following Hibbs’ calculations, that economic changes closer to Election Day matter more than those further away, so each subsequent month will be more important than the last.ugg boots outlet
But the most recent data suggests that, on the economy alone, Obama is tracking more towards a 45% popular vote share than a 50% popular vote share, if historical patterns hold. Of course, such calculations do not determine a candidates fate, and there have been campaign cycles, namely 1996 and 2000 that do not fit the pattern. But the new numbers do show the headwinds Obama faces. Unless growth continues to increase monthly, he will have to significantly outperform historic expectations to win.chanel outlet
To get a sense of just how badly the latest economic troubles have hit voter pocket books, here is a chart from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, showing changes in real disposable personal income since 1960.
The line has a nice steady incline, neatly capturing an American populace that is accustomed to increases in disposable income over time. But note the flattening that occurred around 1980 and again around 1992.louis vuitton replica In both cases, the incumbent presidents, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, lost reelection.
Obama optimists can take comfort in the direction of the line around 2000.louis vuitton replica Gore, representing the incumbent party, should have won big. But he effectively drew a tie in the popular vote. In other words, this line is not always right. More often than not though , it is.replica louis vuitton

The Villages, Florida
Mitt Romney and Ron Paul may be running in the same race, but they??re different animals.replica louis vuitton While Romney was holding rallies across Florida in the run up to Tuesday??s primary, Paul??s camp was busy in less conspicuous places such as Maine and Nevada, where voters will head to the polls on Feb. 4, looking to strategically pick up delegates in his slow, steady effort to win a prominent role at the August convention. Their divergent strategies underscore the distance between their campaigns in style, aim and support.
The two candidates aren’t competing against each other in Florida, where expensive media markets and winner-takes-all delegate rules have led Paul to cede the state.fake louis vuitton But they will soon be going after the same voters in Nevada, where Paul is counting on the state’s libertarian streak to steal some of Romney’s powerful Mormon bloc, while Romney tries to woo Tea Partyers with his budget-cutting message. “We feel good about Nevada,” Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom says. “But, again, we’re not taking anything for granted. It’s a state where Ron Paul finished a strong second four years ago.loui vuitton We view him as a serious competitor in Nevada.” And as competitors, they couldn’t be more different.
(MORE:?Why Romney is Winning Florida and What Comes Next)
Paul is a political preacher trying to build a flock and spread his libertarian gospel. Romney, meanwhile, is running a classic campaign, using an anti-incumbent message with hopes of sewing up the nomination as early as possible by uniting Republican factions.replica louis vuitton While Paul will talk at length about obscure points of Austrian economics and take questions, Romney is on message and guarded. In recent days,?Romney??s been hosting big, bannered rallies across Florida. At an evening event in The Villages retirement community on Monday, a billboard-sized sign had been hung on a building behind his stage, where thousands had gathered starting early in the afternoon: “Florida is Romney Country,” it read.
Between events, Romney travels by chartered flight or in one of his rock band-sized buses with his logo on the side and Twitter handle advertised on the back.chanel outlet A press squad travels in another bus and takes a seat in the back of the planes, offered in-flight menus with Romney??s name across the top. Following Paul in earlier states, reporters had to chase his black SUV in rental cars; if one saw a vehicle bearing Paul??s name, it had likely been spray-painted on by a fanatical supporter. His events were humble: small, country chapels to Mitt Romney’s megachurches.
(PHOTOS:?The Rich History of Mitt Romney)
Their respective warm-up acts also illustrate their differences.fake gucci shoes Before the Texas congressman??s speeches, he is often presented by a state legislator. In Florida, Romney has had members of Congress doing his introductions and even acting as surrogates at other opponents?? events. At a rally on Sunday, a former congressman introduced a current congressman, who introduced the chairwoman of his committee in the U.S.replica gucci shoes House, who then introduced Romney. The candidate usually arrives on stage to his theme song, Kid Rock??s ??Born Free,??? and leaves to the same tune less than 15 minutes later. No questions, thank you.
The biggest divide, however, may be their supporters.loui vuitton Paul??s people, who dutifully showed up to hold signs bearing his name at some of Romney??s Florida events, are dedicated to Paul’s policies. Asking them the reasons for their support can easily lead to a 10-minute conversation about the advantages of non-interventionism or the gold standard. Many can live without their man winning the nomination; it’s about the libertarian cause. A Paul supporter at a Romney rally on Sunday said Paul would never win the whole shebang, but he was casting his ballot for him today anyway as “a symbol of protest against the GOP Establishment.gucci outlet online”
(VIDEO:?10 Questions with Ron Paul)
Many of the Floridians rallying to Romney are often attracted to him precisely because he seems electable; their support is strategic, not symbolic. More often than not, his supporters couldn’t (or wouldn’t) name a particular policy they like; more important to them was the fact that the former governor is a successful businessman who carries himself well and has a relatively unimpeachable personal background. ??I like the way he handles himself,?? said one rally attendee on Monday morning, when asked what he liked most about the candidate. “He’s a Republican,” said another.louis vuitton replica ??He seems more professional,?? said a third. ??He??s clean and pleasant,?? a woman said at a rally in the afternoon. As former Florida state senator Connie Mack has been putting it in his introductions for Romney, “He looks like a President.

Dunedin, Florida
After Mitt Romney spoke at a rally in Naples on Sunday, a young man worked his way through the crowd, swimming against the current of tanned, elderly attendees leaving the plaza.fake gucci shoes A one-dollar bill was plastered over his mouth, symbolizing the silencing power of money. On it, he had written “99%.” An older man saw him and laughed, saying, “Don’t you know we’re the 1%?” The protester in the money muzzle did not respond.
Romney’s supporters in Florida are not put off by his fortune.replica louis vuitton Many attendees find the outcry against the 1% uncompelling, if not un-American??whether it comes from Occupy protesters, an ad aimed at Romney’s work in private equity or President Obama’s call for “fair share” taxation. “This is America. It??s the land of the free and the home of the brave,” said Roy Bartlett, a 60-year-old engineer who attended the rally. “So if you make a million and somebody else makes a dollar, you shouldn??t be scolded for making more money than somebody else.replica louis vuitton” Odette Sabb, a retiree who splits her time between Florida and Michigan said, sure, Romney’s wealth is an issue for some people?? because they??re jealous.
(MORE:?Why Romney is Winning Florida and What Comes Next)
??I??m proud to be in the 1%. I worked to be in that 1%. I was in the engineering and construction business.louis vuitton speedy I started out with this much,?? said William Stout, making an empty circle with his hand. He was the man who had heckled the silent Occupier. Romney earned his money, paid taxes and gave to charity, he said, “So as far as I??m concerned, he deserves every dollar he made.??
Middle-class Republicans at Romney events echoed this sentiment.louis vuitton handbags for sale On Sunday, in a dingy parking lot outside a Cuban restaurant in Hialeah, a struggling financial adviser named Alan Reynolds had come to tell Romney his story. “The thing is I??m in the middle class. I??m not close to 1%, and I don??t earn anywhere in the upper echelon. But,” he said, “I believe in capitalism, and I want our employers to do well.fake louis vuitton” He had voted for Obama in 2008, but said he had registered as a Republican this cycle and was leaning toward Romney, because he had business sense and seemed electable.
(PHOTOS:?The Rich History of Mitt Romney)
Many Romney boosters said that class divisions in America are inevitable and that Democrats are to blame for turning that divide into conflict. “I don??t want to hear more and more speeches from the President blaming people,” Reynolds said. Obama is “breaking people up into smaller segments so that they??re not unified.louis vuitton backpack for sale”
Kade Kelly, a 20-year-old member of Occupy Tampa, feels that Obama and Romney are ignoring the working class. “They both represent business and corporations instead of the citizens that they’re supposed to support,” he said at a Romney rally in Dunedin on Monday. He and some 10 fellow protesters were handing out flyers with a caricature of Mitt Romney crossed out. The papers objected to his low tax rate, enormous earnings and the corporate takeovers he executed at Bain Capital.fake ugg boots
(MORE:?Mitt Romney and Ron Paul: A Tale of Two Very Different Candidates)
After Romney gave his speech and hundreds of attendees started to leave, two of the Occupiers unrolled a big banner in front of the camera stands. “Dear Mr. 1%, Go fire yourself!” it read, “Love, The People (Not Corporations).” Romney supporters stood in front of the sign to block the shot.louis vuitton speedy Tense words were exchanged. The Occupiers started chanting, largely drowned out by Romney’s theme song, Kid Rock’s “Born Free” and chants of “Let’s go, Mitt!”
Kade said the Occupy Tampa movement was trying to reform laws like the one that prohibits panhandling on Sundays. Fighting for the right to ask other people for money couldn’t be more at odds with the message of entrepreneurial capitalism espoused by Romney’s campaign. “Everybody has equal opportunity.gucci outlet online So I??m tired of hearing about what the poor people don??t have,” Stout, the wealthy Romney supporter, said on Sunday. “We??re in a market-driven society, so we have to figure out a way to make a living here. ? We can??t pay more taxes for people who don??t earn.

The House GOP leadership announced on Monday that it would back an extension of a payroll tax cut through the end of the year without making offsetting cuts or tacking on unrelated policies.louis vuitton belts Read that again. Congress could be poised to pass a genuine bipartisan proposal more than a week before its deadline without submitting the country to another bloody battle over who pays for what and how. In matters of taxes and spending, that hasn’t happened in quite some time.
Not that the two parties are exactly holding hands about the deal.louis vuitton belts ??Because the President and Senate Democratic leaders have not allowed their conferees to support a responsible bipartisan agreement, today House Republicans will introduce a backup plan that would simply extend the payroll tax holiday for the remainder of the year while the conference negotiations continue regarding offsets, unemployment insurance, and the ??doc fix,??” a statement from Speaker John Boehner, majority leader Eric Cantor and whip Kevin McCarthy read. “If Democrats continue to refuse to negotiate in good faith, Republicans may schedule this measure for House consideration later this week pending a conversation with our members.”
There are a few possible explanations for this surprising turn of events. One is simply that Democrats had the upperhand politically, bashing the GOP into submission by accusing them of threatening to raise taxes on workers when they insisted that the budgetary cost of the tax break be offset by spending cuts.chanel outlet Another is a recognition that in the 11th hour fiscal negotiations that have dominated Congress in the past year, there are no winners: as evidenced by the body’s subterranean approval rating, Americans are sick to death of such drawn-out battles. It also could have been a tactical feint, to better position themselves for the ongoing fight over the annual fix to Medicare reimbursement rates and, more importantly, the extension of unemployment benefits which many Republicans oppose. Or it might have been some combination of all of the above.
Regardless, even with the GOP leadership behind it, the tax cut extension is still not a done deal.louis vuitton belts It’s not yet entirely clear Republicans will have the support of the huge conservative wing of its conference, a few Blue Dog Democrats might defect, and liberals may be reluctant to decouple the payroll tax cut from jobless insurance. But the move toward unconditional passage of an unpaid for payroll tax holiday by the House GOP is pretty remarkable. It’s been a long time since anyone in D.C.louis vuitton speedy used the phrase “no strings attached” and meant it.

Despite the change in regime, the lines of communication between the U.chanel handbags for saleS. and North Korea have remained open, leading to the announcement on Monday that they they would hold talks on Feb. 23 in Beijing. It will be the third in a series of “conversations” between the two countries which began last July in the hopes of restarting the six-party talks (the six being the U.louis vuitton outlet onlineS., North and South Korea, China, Russia and Japan) that were blown up by North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile tests of 2009. The Beijing meeting had originally been scheduled for the week after Kim Jong Il’s death and U.S.gucci handbag for sale diplomats were unsure what to expect when they reached out to their North Korean counterparts. When the previous North Korean leader, Kim Il Sung died, Kim Jong Il spent three years mourning his father.
Does the renewal of the “conversation” signal anything about Kim Jong Il’s young son and successor Kim Jong Un? Because they are a rescheduling of talks previously scheduled, most analysts interpret the move as a continuation of Kim Jong Il’s policies. Could there be more clues? The North Korean delegation will be led by North Korean’s First Vice Foreign Minister Kim Gye Gwan, just as the last two meetings have been.fake louis vuitton It’s anyone’s guess if there will be any new faces among Pyongyang’s negotiators at this meeting. If there are, they may hold subtle hints to shifts in the regime’s thinking. Or not. North Korean tea leaves are particularly difficult to read.fake louis vuitton

Next week’s Beijing meeting, Washington says, will be to get Pyongyang back to the 2005 Joint Statement of the Six Party Talks. According to that declaration, North Korea would take concrete steps to denuclearization, observe a moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile testing, abide by the armistice that’s already in force and find ways to expand its dialogue with South Korea.
But North Korea appears to have already upped the ante. On the table before Kim Jong Il’s death was some 240,000 metric tons of food aid for vulnerable populations–namely children under five, nursing mothers and the elderly, according to Scott Snyder, senior fellow for Korean studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.fake uggs The country’s food production has never fully recovered from a famine in the 1990s. In the only statement on the negotiations issued thus far by the new regime, North Korea said their demand is now 300,000 tons, half of it in grain that they could use to feed anyone, including an army. The U.S.fake louis vuitton had previously been wary of such aid going to nourish Pyongyang’s already coddled military. Washington notes that any movement on food aid will not be linked to North Korean denuclearization. Will the difference on food aid kill the talks before they start? “Is it insurmountable?” asks an administration official rhetorically. “We’ll find out.louis vuitton backpack for sale

The Obama Administration came to a fork in the road this year on military spending: given the financial pressures facing the nation, it could have fundamentally set U.chanel handbags for saleS. defense policy on a new path. Or it could have kept pretty much everything and just sucked it in as it tightened its belt.
It has elected to do the latter, and that??s not surprising.fake uggs Going into an election year, the White House doesn??t want anything to mar its foreign-policy successes ?? chiefly killing Osama bin Laden and preventing any major terror strike on the U.S. in the more than three years Barack Obama has been in office. He has pulled all U.gucci outlet onlineS. troops out of Iraq and has begun doing the same in Afghanistan; only history will judge the wisdom of each move. Steady as she goes seems the safest route for a centrist to take right about now.
But for someone routinely called a liberal by those on the right, Obama??s 2013 budget submission reflects a decidedly conservative mindset:
– The Navy maintains its fleet of 11 aircraft carriers, and the armadas of support ships and aircraft needed to protect them and give them their punch.louis vuitton backpack for sale
– The Pentagon will continue to embrace its nuclear triad, that system of bombers, submarines and land-based missiles to ensure that if the enemy can eliminate one, or even two, legs in a pre-emptive, bolt-out-of-the-blue strike, the third remaining leg will remain to retaliate (Battleland is not making this up).
– The share of the budget dedicated to the Air Force and the Navy shrinks, which clashes with the well-publicized ??pivot?? from Europe to the Pacific and the necessary reliance on air and sea-power to handle that huge expanse of the globe. But overall, there is little change in how the services split the Pentagon pie. ??It??s sort of ironic that pre-9/11 budget shares are about the same as they are in 2017,?? Air Force Lieut.ugg boots outlet General Larry Spencer, director of force structure for the Joint Chiefs, told reporters (others might choose a different word, like predictable, or phrase, like unbreakable rice bowls).
??What is more interesting in this budget request are the major changes that were not made,?? says Todd Harrison, defense-budget expert at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. ??Overall, the budget request offers more continuity than change.?? He cites ??institutional inertia?? that has the Navy preserving aircraft carriers while shorting submarines, and Air Force plans to scuttle ??brand new aircraft in favor of maintaining older platforms.louis vuitton handbags for sale??
The balloon shaving ?? where skilled budgeteers try to save money by shaving the balloon??s walls ?? can be seen most clearly in the Pentagon??s compensation accounts. ??Total savings in military pay and benefits amount to about $29 billion over the next five years,?? the Pentagon said in its budget summary. ??These changes amount to slightly more than 10% of required savings even though pay and benefits represent about one-third of the defense budget.?? The Pentagon wants to keep paying the help well, even as it plans to cut more than 80,000 ground troops over the coming five years.gucci outlet online ??There’s no pay cuts and there’s no pay freezes,?? Spencer said. ??We??re really just slowing the growth in the out years.??
And it punted on the thorny issue of military retirement, which currently allows troops to leave after serving 20 years with a pension equal to half their basic pay. ??For military retirement, we are not proposing any changes,?? Pentagon comptroller Robert Hale said.louis vuitton speedy ??But we are asking Congress to set up a Military Retirement Modernization Commission that will have the time and staff to look at this very complicated area of military compensation and make recommendations.??
Republicans expressed outrage at what they see as the gutting of the nation??s military might. ??The President??s budget is a clear articulation of Mr. Obama??s priorities,?? Rep.louis vuitton speedy Howard ??Buck?? McKeon, the California Republican who chairs the armed services committee, said in a statement. It ??reduce resources for our struggling Armed Forces, and redirect them to exploding domestic bureaucracies.??
But his Democratic counterpart, Rep. Adam Smith of Washington state, embraced the spending plan.gucci handbag for sale ??We can rationally evaluate our national security strategy, our defense expenditures, and the current set of missions we ask the military to undertake and come up with a strategy that enhances national security by spending taxpayer dollars more wisely and effectively,?? he said. ??I believe this budget meets that goal.??
The only slice of the Pentagon budget slated to grow under the Pentagon proposal is the operations and maintenance account. That??s the money that fuels readiness, and its growth ?? by some $11 billion ?? suggests Defense Secretary Leon Panetta isn??t going let the military wither on his watch.louis vuitton neverfull ??It’s up 6% from fiscal ’12 to ’13,?? Hale, the Pentagon??s top money counter said, ??while the overall budget is down 1%.??
The Pentagon is seeking $525.4 billion in its standard, non-war budget, plus $88.5 billion for Afghanistan and the broader terror fight.chanel handbags for sale While defense spending has peaked, the 2013 proposal is 77% more than the pre-9/11 Pentagon budget for 2001.
Hale insisted that the Pentagon is not planning for the sequester cuts, which will happen automatically early next year if Congress fails to come up with $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over the coming decade. Critics have suggested the Pentagon??s failure to prepare for what is looking like an increasingly likely occurrence is military malpractice.handbags louis vuitton ??We are not planning,?? Hale said Monday. ??And I know nobody believes this, but it’s true. I think I’d know it if we were.??
The sequester is ??not a good policy,?? Hale said (as if this might be the first time the national government did something that isn??t good policy).chanel outlet ??We need is the Congress as a whole to enact a balanced package of deficit reductions that the president can sign and that will replace sequester, and do it in a sensible way, rather than this kind of meat-axe approach that’s represented?? by the sequester guillotine. ??So no, we are not planning.??
Hale said he??s ??hopeful?? Congress will dodge the sequester bullet. As a former Navy officer and long-time budget marksman, Hale knows that hope is not supposed to be an element of military strategy.fake uggs The military??s job is to prepare for the worst. When Congress is involved, you can usually count on it occurring.
