How? I'm not seeing it? What's on the document that we didn't already know? It just doesn't make sense.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke Tuesday said the U.S. needs to come up with a plan to cut the budget deficit soon, telling a White House debt commission it should look at how the tax system could be changed.
Mr. Bernanke's remarks kicked off the first meeting of an 18-member White House panel charged with drafting ideas to reduce the country's $1.4 trillion deficit. President Barack Obama created the panel, which includes Republicans and Democrats from the House of Representatives and the Senate and which is to determine the biggest threats to America's fiscal health.
Two former Congressional Budget Office directors said the biggest threats are ballooning health care costs, interest on money borrowed from abroad, Social Security and taxes.
"I think it just screams out that we do something about this tax code," said Rudy Penner, a former CBO director under President Ronald Reagan. Mr. Penner's comments echoed Mr. Bernanke's.
Mr. Bernanke has not spoken about taxes for a while. However, the Fed chief is being more cautious than his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, who made the controversial move of endorsing President George W. Bush's tax cuts in 2001.
The Fed chief said the economy is stronger when taxes aren't too high and are collected in an efficient, equitable and transparent way.
"At present, a broad consensus exists that the U.S. tax code does not satisfy these criteria and is in need of reform," Mr. Bernanke told the commission.
Mr. Bernanke said the U.S. will ultimately have to decide between raising taxes, cutting Social Security or Medicare, or spending less on everything from education to defense. He didn't make specific recommendations.
Tam said:What I would like to know is WHY NOW? Why after 2 1/2 years and a million plus dollars spent hiding it has he all of a sudden decided to show it? Since he took office people have been requesting, hell filing lawsuits to get him show it and after all the stalling he now decides it's time. :shock: :?
According to him the US has more important things to think about than his Birth Certificate. Did they not have more important things to think about when he was stalling showing it while they were dealing with a houseing market collapse, bailing out the banks, auto makers and AIG, stuffing health care down everyones throats, spending billions on a failed stimulus package, sending people, that didn't believe he had the qualifications to be Commandor and Chief, off to war, the oil spill and resulting off shore drilling moritorium, sueing AZ over their immigration laws, stagnant un-employment numbers or skyrocketing energy cost? There were alot of things that not only the US but the World had to think about since he took office but none of them were so bad that they spurred him on to produce his long form Birth Certificate. SO why now what has made things so much worse that he now thinks it is time to get serious? Could his Presidency have made things so much worse that even he realizes he has to STOP THE SILLINESS AND GET SERIOUS?
Besides that if the US has so much more to think about now over the past few years why did he and his wife go on Oprah yesterday and attend three fund raisers in NY instead of dealing with them? Why is he playing b ball and golf if things are so bad that he has to end the SILLINESS by finally releasing his Birth Certificate? This makes me wonder what happened yesterday that he is trying to distract our attention from? Could it be this?

And I loved Obama's little speech about having to work in a bipartisan way to find solutions to the US economic problems. :roll: That man would not know how to be bipartsan if his life depended on it. How can he expect to come to an agreement with the Republicans when he invites them to his budget speech a few weeks ago only to belittle and attack them at every turn. He claims the only way to make things work is to stop making crap up but I take this as just another DO AS I SAY moment as he is bold face lieing every time he opens his mouth. The Birth Certificate released yesterday was a distraction from his own debt commissions comments about CUTTING THE DEFICIT and his ability to keep borrowing and spending like there is no tomorrow and expecting a tax hike to pay for it. The next big distraction will be the release of his long requested college transcripts, then his law career records. He will pull one out whenever he needs a distraction you can count on it. The guy is lower than a snakes belly. :roll:
NOTE: I am also a pro graphic designer, and this video is absolutely right!!! Someone has CREATED this and it is a FAKE!!! If regular Americans did this they would be imprisoned!
