In which case, the Romney/Ryan claim that Congress will have some choice in formulating a plan consistent with the Romney/Ryan framework after weighing the merits of the various deductions is false and misleading, and their claim that they must not propose a list of deductions to eliminate so as to avoid poisoning the waters of future negotiations in the Ways and Means Committee-- a claim which is absurd to begin with-- is also false and misleading.<br /><br />Slade Smithhttp://www.sourceoftitle.comnoreply@blogger.com
