White House: No guarantee taxes won't go up
Budget deficit needs to be tamed and health reform paid for, officials say




Sun., Aug 2, 2009

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's treasury secretary on Sunday said he cannot rule out higher taxes to help tame an exploding budget deficit and his chief economic adviser would not dismiss raising them on middle-class Americans as part of a health care overhaul.

As the White House sought to balance campaign rhetoric with governing, officials appeared willing to extend unemployment benefits. With former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan saying he is "pretty sure we've already seen the bottom" of the recession, Obama aides sought to defend the economic stimulus and calm a jittery public.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and National Economic Council Director Larry Summers both sidestepped questions on Obama's intentions about taxes. Geithner said

Between the Neohome, the Gallery, Posting and contributing to CRS, Neoseeker sure does have a lot for anyone to do these days. Back in 2001 when I first joined it was nothing but message boards... Now, if I get bored of one thing I just go to the next. Over the past 3 months I've built up this profile from the bare minimum of my location and half-a-Neohome to 1400+ Neopoints from contributing to the movies section, 200+ images in my gallery of anything that has ever interested me and more to come, and i'm on my way to finishing my Neohome although I still have more ideas to think of for it.

The point is, even when i'm bored with one thing i'm off to the next. This is one hell of a website Redemption and the Neo Staff has created for us. Why am I so addicted to this place? Does anyone else feel the same way I do about Neo?

A Few Words
I invite anyone reading this blog to see this excellent movie. In the beginning, you laugh. In the middle, your confused and frustrated. Toward the end, you cry. Not literally, but all of you will experience a very wide range of emotions throughout this entire movie. The cast is great. Adam Sandler isn't Adam Sandler in this movie, he's Charlie Fineman and he makes you believe it. Don Cheadle was a great choice to play the "got it all together" kinda guy who finds Charlie and helps him get past recent events, all the while realizing that he himself needs to be a better husband. All in all, I was very surprised that I enjoyed myself as much as I did while I watched this movie. When I rented it from Blockbuster, I was expecting an OK flick, something I could watch and maybe have a good laugh or two. But I was wrong, this wasn't just a fli

A Citizen-Politician. Of the People, By the People, For the People

I just finished watching the entire video of Ronald Reagans speech and I just have to say - wow, he sure was a Great Communicator. I was glued to what he had to say the entire time, not once bored of his words or wanting to skip forward to a 'better part', because all of it was great. Reagan showed so much love for his country and portrayed it so clearly and thoughtfully throughout his speech, I felt like I had to share it with all of Neoseeker. His words echoed the true feeling of American Pride, i sure as hell felt it, and hopefully, so will you.

Sorry President Obama, No Teleprompters Allowed
There's no time for preperation in the House of Commons, you have to think fast and give your response. Good old fashioned debate.

State Opening of Parliament. Closing remarks of Prime Minister Gordon Brown during the 2007 Queen's Speech debate with Leader of the Opposition David Cameron in a sceptical similar to PMQs (Prime Minister's Questions). During the discussion, David Cameron refers to Brown in the first person, which is technically out-of-order in the House of Commons, but the Speaker doesn't do anything about it. When asked by Cameron about inheritance tax Brown gives an immediate and direct answer, however he then evades the question about the election that never was. I wonder why?

Back in Texas, Bush enjoys a simpler life
Former president spends his days writing, cycling, watching baseball on TV

DALLAS - The new couple at 10141 Daria Place accepted an invitation to a neighborhood dinner party last month. The guest list totaled eight. The main dish was chicken potpie. George and Laura Bush left their cul-de-sac in the back of a dark sedan, exited through a Secret Service checkpoint and rode down streets bordered by lawn signs adorned with gigantic W's to welcome them home.

It had been a bad week for the country. President Obama spoke on television about the burdens he had inherited in office: anti-American sentiment, two wars, a recession. But it had been a good week at 10141 Daria Place. The Bushes shared stories over dinner about their return to Texas after eight years in Washington. They had improved their sprinkler system and hun

Earths Natural Cycles
Here is my stance on Global Warming: not-man made, but it might actually be occuring. The thing is: Is this really bad for earth? In my belief, no. I have had this belief for many years now, but I want to share with you some information that could be of interest to readers out there who believe Global Warming isn't man made. These are all professional websites. I will only use reliable sources on this blog because I find opinion pages or other blogs can be shot down very easily because of bias, ignorance, and of course blatant lies. This is a warmup post, as more opinions on Global Warming are surely to come soon.

The Ignorant Approach
In my belief, it is our responsibility to clean up this planet as much as possible; to prevent the spread of pollution through common sense, reasoning, and actually getting initiatives and problem solving solutions accomplished. I al

I know companies are always trying to push the envelope to try and gain national attention for a new line of products just released - but this is just plain weird. I wouldn't buy Levi Jeans because of this, I just turn the channel. I guess it worked(being provocative) - as always, but I didn't get anything out of it, i'm not buying their jeans. BTW, I've been wanting to talk about this on Neoseeker since the first time I saw these commercials but have always forgotten. I got the idea to post this after reading Chad's blog about Gamestop commercials.
