In the last couple days, I have seen Republicans, most notably John Boehner, do everything in their power to avoid answering a simple question: "Do tax cuts need to be 'paid' for?" For some reason, none of the questioners have taken the next step, which is to question the basic premise behind the idea that tax cuts don't need to be paid for. So I'll do it for them.

Senator Ted Kennedy's passing has reminded us all of his legacy of legislation, and that many of his accomplishments came as a result of reaching across the aisle. Senator Kennedy did not compromise his values while doing so; he was adept at finding areas where the goals of the two sides were not mutually exclusive, and fashioned legislation that was palatable to both sides. In that spirit, we can do the same with health care.

You may have seen a number of stories in the news recently about Bank of America's financial problems. You certainly can't turn on the tv or read news sites without seeing story after story about the mess in the lending industry. I ignored these stories, largely because, although I have two Bank of America credit cards, my checking account and mortgage are with other banks, and since I have a standard mortgage, I didn't think it had a whole lot to do with me. As it turns out, I was wrong. Find out how after the jump.
