Watch the video below. The exchange on Medicare occurs at 2:15: video platformvideo [...] Congress’s non-partisan investigative arm said Wednesday President Obama is stretching the law to give bonuses to mediocre privateMedicare plans — an $8 billion program the auditors had already urged the administration to cancel. In a pointed letter, the Government Accountability Office’s chief lawyer said the administration hasn’t shown that it can learn anything by a “demonstration” project to pay bonuses to average-performing plans in the Medicare Advantage program. The lawyer also questioned “the agency’s legal [...] http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/…IIYN_blog.html In the past, I’ve talked about the “do-nothing plan” for deficit reduction: Congress heads home to spend more time with their campaign contributors, and the Bush tax cuts automatically expire, the 1997 Balanced Budget Act’s scheduled Medicare cuts kick in, the Affordable Care Act is implemented, and the budget moves roughly into balance. It’s not an [...] By Erik Wasson and Julian Pecquet - 11/10/11 10:43 AM ET Democrats on the supercommittee have proposed that the savings from the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan be used to pay for a new stimulus package, according to a summary of the $2.3 trillion plan obtained by The Hill. The latest offer from Democrats on the deficit panel, made Monday night to their Republican counterparts, would use some of the war [...] From AP: WASHINGTON (AP) — They’re calling it the zombie in the budget.

Double Dip Housing is the clear evidence of ongoing deflation, and new taxes are clear inflation. Taxes: up up and away.
