"Stuff?" Radditz asked quizzically.

"It's...er...something the Irish say," Joe explained, as Lyin' Ryin' frowned knowingly.

"It's...er...MALARKY!" Joe added, with a twinkle in his eye and a cheeky smile.

Good to see Biden call BULLsh*t on Rmoney's so called plan:

"Mathematically impossible".... unless you're going to cut the mortgage deduction for the
middle class.

BINGO!!!

The Rmoney/Ryan plan is total.. utter bullcrap.

Eliminating the mortgage deduction tax break.. one of the few tax breaks we the little people get--
will NEVER be put into law by Congress. I guarantee it.

For Rmoney/Ryan to even consider this-- indicates just how stupid and desperate they are
