  1. REALIZATION of REALITY is in knowing plus placing what VIRTUAL REALITY is REALLY LIKE compared to the REAL SITUATION at HAND ! THEN Handle the VIRTUALIZATION as in a VISION or PROJECTION like a DREAM ! ...The first thing that we have to recognize is that the tax restructuring and the end of the payroll tax holiday was not, I repeat, not a tax increase. It was the adjustment of a temporary reduction in tax rates that originally had a sunset date. Even at the time these changes were first passed, congress and the executive branch knew they were going to have to sunset the laws. They made that clear to the people of nation.

    That being the true case, the republican meme that President Obama already got his tax increase doesn't hold water. The country got a partial sunsetting of ill conceived temporary tax cuts. Budget and deficit negotiations have to start, not end with this reality as new revenues are sought.

    So what is realistic for each party to bring to the table? The best and most important area has to be government waste. It is the one area that should be non-partisan in support. Everyone agrees that reported lunacies such as spending $56 for a box of paper clips is outrageous and must be stopped. Perhaps if the house and senate budget committees along with their innumerable aides pored over every line of every budget, they might find multi-billion dollar savings that could expand into the trillions over a ten year period.
