Stephanie Cutter Forced to Admit Romney’s Plan is NOT a $5Trillion Tax Cut

I am not a fan of Erin Burnett of CNN, but every now and then, she does her homework:

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter n CNN

Erin Burnett, CNN host: So you’re saying if you lower them by 20% you get a $5 trillion tab, right?

Stephanie Cutter: It’s a $5 trillion tab.

Burnett: But then when you close deductions it’s not going to be anywhere near $5 trillion, that’s our analysis.

Cutter: Well, okay, stipulated. It won’t be near $5 trillion but it’s also not going to be the sum of $5 trillion in the loopholes that he’s going to close. So it is going to cost someone and it’s going to cost the middle class. Independent economists have taken a look at this. There aren’t enough deductions for those at the top to account for the number of tax cuts that they get because of Mitt Romney’s policy so you have to raise taxes on the middle class. As Bill Clinton said, it’s just simple math.

Burnett: Okay, they’ll just say that you can do that. They’re are other studies. I know the one to which you’re referring, but there’s also the possibility of economic growth.

Cutter: Prove it. Erin, prove it.

Ed Klein: Obama Team Wants to “Review” Clinton’s Speech, and Bill Refuses!

Not since the feud between Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter tore the Democratic  Party apart more than 30 years ago have two panjandrums of the party loathed  each other quite as much as Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

And yet this week, television viewers will be treated to a remarkable  spectacle at the Democratic National Convention: Clinton will stand before a  cheering throng of delegates on Thursday night and deliver a primetime speech  nominating Obama, a man he once dismissed as incompetent, as president of the  United States.

The president, First Lady Michelle Obama and their senior political adviser,  Valerie Jarrett, all argued strenuously against offering Clinton a plum  assignment at the convention. They wanted to relegate him to a minor,  non-prime-time speaking role. However, Clinton, who is viewed as an iconic  figure by the party faithful, refused to accept anything less than the  all-important nominating speech and threatened to boycott the convention unless  his demands were met.

The decisive vote in the matter, according to my sources, was cast by David  Axelrod, Obama’s chief political strategist, who argued that the Obamas needed  Clinton far more than Clinton needed them

The Obama campaign has insisted on seeing the speech before Clinton delivers  it, and Clinton has just as insistently refused to show it to them. As a result,  no one — not even the president — knows what Clinton intends to say. This has  led some Democratic insiders to speculate that Clinton will make  not-so-flattering remarks about the last four years of Democratic rule in the  White House.

“If I were the president,” one of these insiders told me, “I’d wake up at  night in a cold sweat wondering what surprises Clinton is going to come up  with.”

Romney Tries to Refocus Campaign: Obama’s Liberal Policies Don’t Help Job Growth

It Is Friday, and The Economy is Doing “Fine”: NOT TODAY !!!

Despite the President’s pronouncement that the private sector is “doing fine”, the economic news emanating the airwaves in the past days, hours, is all but FINE.

The May housing sales numbers show a decline from prior months, despite the lowest mortgage interest rates in modern history.

The manufacturing sector showed signs of further contraction.

The stock market closed yesterday down nearly 300 points amid the banking turmoil, with Moody’s lowering the credit ratings of some of the Big Players.

With downgrades to the likes of Bank of America, Citigroup, and JP Morgan, the stories of the implosion of some of these “too big to fail” institutions are abounding.

But there is always the news that gas may be as low as $3.00/gallon by the Fall……………… we will just not have any $$$$ to buy it with!

Stop the BS: Let’s Call a Spade a Spade– the “Public” Sector is the GOVERNMENT Sector!

I AM JUST SAYING…. IF YOU CALL IT LIKE IT IS, THE PEOPLE WILL REACT EVEN MORE TO THE FACT THAT THE “PUBLIC SECTOR” IS MORE IMPORTANT TO THE PRESIDENT!!

Obama Says Private Sector is “Doing Fine” During Lackluster Press Conference, & Romney Calls That an “Extraordinary Miscalculation”

From  The Hill:

Mitt Romney blasted President Obama for comments during a press conference Friday where the president suggested the private sector was “doing fine.”

“He said the private sector is doing fine. Is he really that out of touch?” Romney said at an event in Council Bluffs, Ia. “I think he’s defining what it means to be out of touch with the American people.”

In the president’s remarks Friday morning, he repeatedly said hiring at private industries was “fine” and occurring at “a solid pace,” arguing instead for additional funds for state and local governments to hire teachers and emergency personnel. But Republicans quickly pounced on his remarks in light of May’s disappointing job numbers, and Romney said the comments could have historic implications.

“For the president of the United States to stand up and say the private sector is doing fine is going to go down in history as an extraordinary miscalculation,” Romney told the crowd.
