Republicans to push ahead on new math for U.S. taxes, budget

As Republicans assume control of the entire U.S. Congress in the new year, they are expected to push a controversial change to use more macroeconomic projections in determining the impact of tax and budget legislation on the federal deficit.

Critics say wider use of "dynamic scoring," as the Republican-favored approach is known, would introduce new uncertainties into fiscal policy and degrade the value of present analysis now done by Capitol Hill staff experts.

Republican advocates argue it would make fiscal analysis better reflect what they call economic realities. Dynamic scoring, as they envision it, would assumes that lower tax rates boost growth, offsetting some lost revenue.

The "scoring" of tax and budget bills matters because it can influence whether a bill becomes law. Lawmakers shy from measures that would balloon the deficit. So any math that makes scores look less worrisome has political appeal.

They're gonna cook the books to "prove" their failed supply side economic theory works.

G.H.W. Bush had a proper name for the economic theories of the Republican Party since Reagan. Voodoo Economics.

Most of the time thinking about the past news interviews that clearly illustrated that the government is broken.

Cable news will avoid that connection to politics now, buried like the Bush Bin Laden family business connection, or the Bush Nazi connection that has been buried for decades.

Now a new math to fix it, guess it is clear the basic Gaussian mathematics does not work, especially that strange attractive means testing method trapping or constrained to bubble culture, expanding and popping because of greed.

Now the spotlight is on the Republican Party, Tea Party and all the money behind the Bush swindling war juggernaut that has been covered up by the mainstream media. All those secrets will eventually emerge, like the new art from George Bush with his paintings.

There is a parallel to a changing culture in America that is similarly identified in the book by Dan Brown the author of the Da Vinci Code. Da Vinci was a flamboyant Gay man, according to this author.

Moreover, Da Vinci did lead a powerful secret society as the Grand Master, yet was a brilliant painter in the technique of “Sfumato” being one of the four canonical painting modes of the Renaissance. Especially in the Mona Lisa, the smile making a conjecture thinks she could be a man with Da Vinci’s extraordinary talents. Are you laughing yet…

It was sort of a Eureka moment for me thinking these canonical math methods might be or could be used in our advanced MRI techniques. Or the “Chiaroscuro” light, and shadow in Ultrasonic. Every humanities student does have an appreciation for this and why electronic engineer is many times called an artist.

Today these accomplishments can be developed in our young minds in the k12 system with Adobe Photoshop. Or even preschool…pixels can be shifted and convoluted but can be detected by forensic analysis.

What occurred to me at this writing a new way using email for security reasons in the next laws should be developed. The Republican and Democratic Business people knew this all the time, the reasoning for the jumbo pension plan requirement in the postal service. Again its rigged.

Also a way to show America has an open society compared to Isis. Isis is described in Dan Browns book as something very special in the Feminine deity that the movie totally missed.

A secure email by the postal system with the citizen’s picture signature and personally written biography might be the new wave encrypted with a private electronic key via fiber optics, or cell phone to every home would change the whole economic condition for the millennium. Importantly solve the need in identification for elections.

The constant appearance of former mayor Giuliani in commercials that advertise identity theft shows Giuliani’s profiteering methods, but there is a way to prevent identity theft changing the laws and let business methods include it without paying for it.

Reading the Da Vinci Code about how Caravaggio a very talented painter also gay actually did likely the first photo shopped hand painting.

Caravaggio accomplishing a creative effect by painting his self-portrait, his own face, painted over that of the face of Goliath, in the famous Caravaggio’s Painting David and Goliath took my breath away.

Also Sistine “Madonna” also called La Madonna di San Sisto, is an oil painting by the Italian artist Raphael. Commissioned in 1512 by Pope Julius II as an altarpiece. Madonna today a very feminine character, or is she really a man. LOL.
