Its a strange, strange political world when North Carolina Republicans Richard Burr and Robert Pittenger occupy the political center. But this is the universe weve stumbled into thanks to the far rights last gasp at killing the Affordable Care Act.
Burr, a stalwart conservative North Carolina senator, is hearing it from Tea Party activists this week after calling their push to shut down the government over Obamacare the dumbest idea Ive ever heard. In response, Tea Party group ForAmerica took a swipe at Burr with a news release and video comparing him to a chicken. (Similar ads targeted five other Republicans, including South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.)
Said ForAmerica president Brent Bozell: Conservatives are fed up with two-faced politicians like Senator Burr who consistently fail to keep their promises.
Pittenger, a freshman U.S. representative, also felt some heat this month for telling a town hall questioner that he wouldnt participate in the shutdown/defund ultimatum. The exchange was captured on video and went viral. Robert Pittenger Says NO to Defunding Obamacare, screamed one online Tea Party headline.
These clashes are not unexpected. Activists have targeted the Congressional recess as their last likely chance to kill the Affordable Care Act. Along with ForAmerica, conservative groups Heritage Action and Tea Party Patriots have launched campaigns to use ads and community meetings to get the attention of legislators. In Washington, the defund effort is being spearheaded by Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Marco Rubio of Florida and Mike Lee of Utah.
Other Republicans, however, are balking. For sure, neither Pittenger nor Burr are fans of Obamacare. Pittenger has signed on to 15 bills that would repeal or defund the health care law or parts of it, and Burr has repeatedly supported efforts to do the same. But both understand a very basic reality: A measure defunding Obamacare has little to no chance of making it through the Senate, and if it somehow did, President Obama would never bless it with his signature. Shutting down government in response would be a political loser outside of the extreme right.
The alternative for both Republicans and Democrats is to acknowledge that Obamacare is a worthy law that needs some repair. We all know the good: Obamacare provides Americans with coverage previously unavailable or too expensive, and insurance companies cannot turn their back on consumers because of preexisting conditions. Still, the bill is complex and confusing, especially for businesses, and no one knows how the market will respond to launch of the individual mandate and state insurance exchanges. There is and will be work to do.
The White House, so far, has signaled an openness to that. Last month, the administration announced a move they surely didnt want: delaying a requirement that medium and large companies offer health-care coverage to their employees. The decision invited ridicule from Obamacares opponents, and it will result in a million fewer Americans receiving coverage, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. But it also showed the administration was listening to business frets about Obamacares reporting requirements and tax implications. That flexibility will be critical moving forward.
Such is how Washington works now. Passing major legislation is an exercise in concession-making, and the result is often imperfect. But Obamacare isnt going to be killed, as lawmakers in both parties understand. The best next step is to work on making it better.

Malloy: 'No doubt crime committed'
HARTFORD — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a former prosecutor who has exchanged his share of zingers with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie since taking office, said Thursday he believes that criminal laws were violated when the Christie administration deliberately fouled traffic to punish the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J.
"There is no doubt that a crime has been committed," Malloy told reporters at a news conference in Hartford. "Who it has been committed by remains to be seen."

Hubley Studios Studio Directory
Screen Gems eventually became UPA, United Productions of America, for which Hubley created Mr. Magoo and directed such acclaimed shorts as the jazzy melodrama Rooty Toot Toot. Under fire from the House Un-American Activities Committee, however, in its hunt for alleged Communists in all branches of the entertainment industry, Hubley was fired in 1952.
The following year, he established Storyboard Films as a commercial firm, allowing him to work anonymously. He married Faith Elliott, an editor and script clerk who had worked for Columbia and Republic on such films as Twelve Angry Men. Together, the couple vowed to make one personal film a year. Their collaboration led to seven Academy Award nominations, three of which were wins, on such shorts as The Tender Game, The Hole and Moonbird. With an emphasis placed on music, several of these projects were collaborations with noted musicians, including Dizzy Gillespie and Herb Alpert; voices were supplied by the likes of Dudley Moore, Jack Warden, and Meryl Streep, as well as the Hubley's own children. In the mid-sisties, the studio was renamed "Hubley Studios."

ANAHEIM, CALIF. – Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom strained his groin during the first period of Friday's 4-2 win against the New Jersey Devils and will not be in uniform Sunday night against the Anaheim Ducks.
The Wild recalled Matt Hackett from Houston to back up Josh Harding.
Backstrom did travel, however, and is day-to-day.
"I don't think it's too serious. [He'll miss] a few days," coach Mike Yeo said.
Cal Clutterbuck, who missed Friday's game with a leg injury, will decide during Sunday's morning skate if he can play against the Ducks, while defenseman Justin Falk was placed on injured reserve and did not make the trip due to an "upper body" injury.
Defenseman Nate Prosser was recalled and center David McIntyre was reassigned.

In my point of view twenty twenty cricket is not killing the real cricketing skills. There are two forms of twenty twenty which is currently being played one is international and the other is domestic which in India we can say ipl. It is a short version of the 50-50 over game and it takes less time and gives full enjoyment to viewers and boosts the confidence of players. If a player scores half century in 20 balls or if a bowler is taking 5 wickets in a limited 4 overs which he can throw it certainly boosts players confidence level. Earlier in 50-50 overs matches 250-270 was considered as the good score and average score but now 270-285 is the average score and even double hundreds are also being hit in the 50-50 over match this is all because of 20-20 cricket. When we talk of the domestic or ipl 20-20 cricket it gives us wide spectrum to choose from the pool of players, players get exposure and learn many thing from international players who are in their team and against whom they are competing.
So, in my point of view this beautiful 20-20 cricket must go on and it is not killing the real cricket instead it has made it more interesting. Thank you.

Maastricht Travel Guide
Maastricht Local History
Considered to be one of the oldest towns in Holland. Maastricht was founded in 47AD at the last crossing of the river Maas on the road from Cologne to Boulonge. In the early 8th century the city was both a spiritual center as well as a center for trade.
Maastricht grew steadily and uneventfully until the Spanish captured and looted the city in 1579. After the collapse of the Napoleonic Empire, the city came under the rule of William of Orange in 1814 and was proclaimed the capital of the district. Due to its location Maastricht was one of the first cities in the Netherlands to be liberated by the Allies in World War Two.
In 1992 Maastricht made global headlines with the signing of the Maastricht Treaty, which symbolised the uniting of Europe. The city is home to some outstanding historical monuments that reflect its long past.

text: Jan. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Brad Hintz, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., discusses Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s fourth-quarter earnings and the outlook for Morgan Stanley's quarterly results. Goldman's shares fell the most in almost two months after the firm reported its third straight quarterly earnings decline, led by a slowdown in trading and investment banking revenue. Morgan Stanley will report its fourth-quarter results tomorrow. Hintz, speaking with Mark Crumpton on Bloomberg Television's "Bottom Line," also discusses fixed-income and stock trading.

Gear Question
I'm 5'11, 160lbs and wear a size 11 boot....
Member since
I'm 5'11, 160lbs and wear a size 11 boot. Should I go with the Bullet or Clash? People at stores here say the Clash if I can find it, but that a Bullet would work also.

The Bullet is the wide version of the clash, you will be ok with the clash but the bullet would be better.

KKR Financial Corporation's CEO Discusses Second Quarter Results - Earnings Call Transcript
The distribution is payable on August 23rd to shareholders of record as of August 9th. Our net income for the second quarter was $71 million or $0.39 per diluted common share, reflecting a 16% return on equity. Our book value per share as of June 30th was $9.79, effectively flat from $9.81 at March 31st.
Looking at run rate cash earnings, we generated $0.32 per common share in second quarter, up from $0.26 in the first quarter. This implies a 13% cash ROE for the quarter. If you normalize for semi-annual coupon payment son our convertible notes, which reduce our first and third quarter cash earnings, we generated $0.30 per common share in Q2 compared to $0.29 per common share in Q1.
On the capital deployment front, we invested about $54 million to acquire $84 million of working interest in oil and gas properties. The $30 million difference was financed to our non-recourse natural resources credit facility.
In addition, we deployed $30 million to our royalties joint venture with Chesapeake Energy, which is discussed on Page 13 of our supplemental presentation.Together, these bring aggregate capital deployment on our natural resources strategy to $84 million for the quarter. We also deployed or committed to deploy about $40 million to our special situation strategy this quarter, which consisted primarily of investments in distressed European companies. Net of $25 million in realizations, our Q2 capital deployment to special situations is approximately $15 million. We continued to source incremental investment capital by selling rated (trenches) we hold in our CLO subsidiaries. During the second quarter, we sold $18 million paramount of Class D notes from CLO 2007-1 resulting in net proceeds of $13 million. In addition, we sold another $18 million paramount of these notes this week, generating an additional $14 million of proceeds. In total, we have generated nearly $60 million of cash proceeds this year by divesting these bonds, which have a stated cash coupon of LIBOR plus 2.25%, so effectively less than a 3% cash cost to the company. Through these sales, we were able to extract lower yielding capital held in these CLOs and redeploy it to higher yielding opportunities elsewhere.

And yes, sometimes you gotta just cut your losses. So for all of you guys who are collectors and want to just throw numbers out there, that's up to you guys. And the bay now has free listings on certain items, so I wouldn't blame the seller for trying because it's not really costing them anything more to wait a bit.
..but let me ask you this...
...were you the winner of the card? Did you get the card you wanted? You may not have needed it, and that's all good, but you still took the time to put in an offer and then track it...so you obviously had some desire for the card...and you could have had it for just $20 more than what you asked for...now you gotta go and find another one.
I'm not saying that anyone here is wrong, but just as collector's think that the price they want to pay is enough, there may be, just may be, another collector out there that may want it bad enough.

5 Financial Red Flags For Couples
Are you always footing the bill for the other person, and covering for them in what seems like never-ending "tough times"? If they are unemployed, or fighting to stay on top of a killer student loan, so be it. But if there is no offered explanation, be wary.
4. Continual use of your credit card
Is it your credit card that always gets tapped when your boyfriend or girlfriend orders off Amazon (AMZN)? When you are shopping, is there always an excuse for why he or she has to "borrow" your card ("Oops, I left mine at home again"). It may very well mean that your partner's cards are either maxed out or they fear being "rejected" at the register while you look on. Couples may live by the mantra of "share and share alike," but having only one half that does all the sharing is a bad omen.
Be especially wary if your partner frequently pulls your credit card (or cash) from your wallet without asking. Add to your concern if they fail to let you know they did so until after the bill comes in. They probably don't view it as stealing, and neither should you, necessarily. But the action does reveal a potentially fast, loose and unrestrained attitude toward spending (especially when it is other people's money).
5. Blaming everyone but themselves
Taking responsibility is crucial for anyone looking to fix financial blunders. Be wary if your loved one blames everyone but themselves for "mistakes."

I think Stephen isn't in this simply because of the huge amount of screentime he got in the previous tournament.
I think Stephen isn't in this simply because of the huge amount of screentime he got in the previous tournament.
Not going to lie, Stephan did grow on me a little bit the last tourney. Overall though his character still feels flat to me, so while I would have liked to see Bianca here at least and defeat him, I can't say I'm that bothered by him not appearing. He is much better than Trip though, at least he has a personality even if it can be mundane and the name gag has long run its course.
Also, I know it may be a bit of a stretch to speculate this but I'm hoping Georgia actually quits and disqualifies herself mid-battle. I can totally see her being like: "You know what, fuck this shit! I can't be the best against a Dragon who is just doing whatever it wants against its trainer's commands. I have to defeat a Dragon with strategy involved and the trainer in sync with that Dragon. Iris fuck your lazy ass, our rivalry is not finished until you can fight me fairly."
Since it doesn't look like Burgundy and Cilan are battling each other, then I highly doubt their rivalry along with Iris and Georgia's rivalry will be over just yet. You just can't finish a rivalry that quickly and cheaply.
I really hope Georgia doesn't get beaten badly here. Her Beartic has been one of the most consistently strong mons in BW so far, and having it get owned would leave a very bitter taste in my mouth.
Either way, if it doesn't actually follow Iris commands, I really hope Georgia calls her out on it.
Of course, the ideal way this could be resolved without making Beartic getting the Worf effect, is that Iris commands one thing, Georgia readies Beartic for this, and Dragonite instead acts on instinct.
Or we could find out that the reason Georgia has an issue with Dragon-types is exactly a scenario like this, that she lost to rampaging Dragon pokemon because the trainer couldn't control it and it took the battle to far.
Which of course would make her furious at Iris, and even more motivated to get stronger.

I hope Dawn stay for this series.
I really hope this battle will be a struggle and won't make Dragonite sweep with ease. Beartic needs to be depicted as strong to make this match worthwhile and meaningful just like the battle between Beartic and Excadrill.
Now that I think about it, wouldn't Beartic be considered the strongest Pokemon now seeing as how he beat Excadrill twice even after Excadrill's practice with Iris? It would be a massive slap to the face to both Excadrill and Beartic if Dragonite wins this battle easily.
Darmanitan)are using Pokemon that have been trained over the course of their respective journey's. Langley already got screwed over, Dawn looks to be the next victim. Though hopefully she won't. Seems like naive hope at this point though.
I kind a want Ash's Pikachu to battle Trip's Serperior in Junior Cup!
Because I want both Ash's Pikachu & Snivy to beat Serperior but they can't beat the same pokemon twice in one Battle !
So , I will be happy if Pikachu reestablish himself by Beating Trip's Serperior in this Tournament So Ash can use another pokemon against Trip's Serperior in Unova League like Snivy , Leavanny or Oshawott !
Some people are going nut about Trip's Rival Status !
But Rivalry isn't about One Sided Superiority , Rivalry is more about relationship between Protagonist & Rival! So I think Writer should focus on Trip's acknowledging Ash in Junior Cup rather then focusing on his Rival Status!
After all , All good Rival acknowledge the Protagonist before there fated Showdown!
Unless , We are talking about Antagonistic Rival !
Wouldn't you Agree !!!
Thats why Rival like Blue (Adventure) ,Kikoya (Beyblade) & Seto Keida (Yugioh) are so popular despite the fact that they never really beaten the Protagonist!
I don't get why some people are so protective of Trip ? Are they feel sorry for him or They just like the way he look's!
It would be a lot more ironic If The First person Ash face in Junior Cup turn out to be Trip!!!
By the Way , Are you interested in any CotD in Junior Cup???
I'm interseted in the Girl standing beside Cabernet !
I here don't care how this battle goes and about this whole how Iris's disobedient Kairyu is handled and whatever.
I just like that Iris got another Dragon-type, that's it. And I mainly want to see this arc for character interactions.
No seriously, my lack of excitement for tournament arcs shows when I really don't care who wins or loses in them.

Satoshi will use his Hahakomori? -_- It will be boring... duh! I wanted to see Kenhallow or Gantle or one of his previous Pokemon! But Hahakomori... He will be beaten in the first rounds for sure! At least Dawn is using Mamoswine (I was hoping for Togekiss anyway)
Totally right! If Iris beats Dawn I will go crazy! Dawn just returned and Iris will take all the attention on her already! I think she is the worst of Ash's all traveling friends!

Feb. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Deutsche Bank AG Chief Executive Officer Josef Ackermann said he's confident a deal between private creditors and public officials on a Greek debt swap can be reached this week.
Ackermann, who is also chairman of the Institute of International Finance, which is leading the debt swap talks, said private creditors are offering about 70 percent net present value loss. Negotiations on the final terms are ongoing, Ackermann said on the sidelines of an event in Milan today.

CreXus Investment Corp. Reports GAAP EPS For The 3rd Quarter 2011 Of $0.52 As Compared To $0.18 For The 3rd Quarter 2010
CreXus Investment Corp. (NYSE: CXS), today reported GAAP net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $39.9 million or $0.52 per average share, as compared to $3.2 million or $0.18 per average share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and $22.1 million or $0.29 per average share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
The Company declared common stock dividends for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, of $0.30 per share as compared to a dividend of $0.17 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and $0.25 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Company distributes dividends based on its current estimate of taxable earnings per common share, not GAAP earnings. Taxable and GAAP earnings will typically differ due to items such as differences in premium amortization and discount accretion, non-taxable unrealized and realized gains and losses, credit loss recognition, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses. The annualized dividend yield on the Company's common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, based on the September 30, 2011 closing price of $8.88, was 13.51%.
On a GAAP basis the Company provided an annualized return on average equity of 17.61% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 4.82% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 10.04% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Kevin Riordan, Chief Executive Officer and President of CreXus, commented on the quarter's results. "The third quarter of 2011 was a productive period for CreXus. As previously disclosed, we made significant progress in transitioning near-term maturity low coupon assets into longer-duration higher yielding assets through refinancings and payoffs, with a combination of existing borrowers and new investments. We continue to build a portfolio that can deliver sustainable strong cash flow. Importantly, the broad origination platform we have built provides us with investment opportunities across the complete spectrum of commercial real estate."

so you drop a class and there is a "W" on the transcript or whatever, for "withdrawl"
how bad does that look?
I signed up for this really stupid class where I'm supposed to read several assigned books, like a biography on Rosa Parks. I pretty much refuse to read that sh!t. Thinking of dropping the class. I'm going to transfer in the fall (currently at community college) and I'm wondering if dropping a class makes me look like a retard
so far my GPA is like a 3.5
GPA in high school was a 3.6
scored a 30 on the ACT in high school
-can I get away with dropping this class and still transfer in the fall no problem?

My Bucket List
My Bucket List is almost one year old! Rudy began this endeavor in August of 2013. Since then, we have collected over 400 people from all over the country in our Bucket Brigade. We have 1200 followers on Facebook helping us spread the word. We have made a difference in the lives of so many people...recipients and their families for sure... but also those people who have helped us fulfill a Bucket List wish this year. We hear so often how touched people are by our mission and how much they enjoy helping us with our lists. In reality, all of us who are a part of MBL see so much goodness and kindness through our Bucket Brigade, there is no denying that we are the lucky ones. Without all of you we could not make all of this happen. We appreciate it and we thank you!
My Bucket List is a non profit organization located in Central Minnesota. Our mission is to use our network of resources and volunteers to fulfill bucket list wishes for terminally ill adults in Minnesota. What makes us different is that we do not fundraise in any way. We make use of individual talents and resources to fulfill wishes. Some people prefer to donate money and we always accept that with a big smile on our faces. However, what we really use are the people who know someone... who knows someone...who has a connection to someone... who can help us fulfill a wish.
Throughout our first year we have sent many people to concerts and plays during the Christmas season. We sent David and his family to a Twins game. We threw Jamie a party so she could say goodbye to friends and family. We sent Steve and his family to a water park and MOA so he could spend some quality time with his two sons. We fulfilled Keith's wish to fly in an airplane with the little boy he co-parents and provided him with a photographer for family pictures. We built a ramp for Katie so she could spend time in the backyard with her 11 siblings...we also sent the whole family to the water park for the weekend. We helped Bob get recognized for his years as a University of Minnesota football captain and introduced him to Uof M coach, Jerry Kill. We made it possible for Gregory to take the first vacation he has ever had in his life. We helped Tina receive a new reconditioned laptop so she can stay in touch with family living far away. We sent Jane to Vegas so she could renew her wedding vows and we sent brothers Tom and John on one last ice fishing weekend together. We were lucky enough to have local media take notice of our efforts and they helped us reach people all over the united States.
We are currently working on our 17th Bucket List. Martha is terminal and out of treatment options and has been given less than 6 months to live. Through the kindness and generosity of our amazing Bucket Brigade, Martha will spend her last few months enjoying some time at the beach in Maryland with her best friend.
Unfortunately, in the last year, we have also lost a few of our Bucket List recipients. RIP Tom, Jamie and David and peace to your friends and families. Time has also been an enemy and has taken a few of our intended recipients before we could fulfill a wish for them. A BIG THANK YOU to anyone who has helped spread the word, "liked" us on Facebook, handed out our cards and donated their time, talents, contacts and or energy to My Bucket List. We can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us!

Plenty of financiers supported the president in 2008, but investors I spoke with have decided that the man who rescued the economy isn't the right one to lead its recovery
The financial services community swooned for President Obama four years ago and opened its collective wallet to offer him more than $16 million in campaign cash. This cycle its well-heeled members have ponied up far less for the president -- contributions to the Obama campaign have barely reached $4 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics - and many who backed the president last time say they don't plan to again.
It's not anger over Wall Street reforms that prompted their change of heart and vote, they say, but questions about the country's economic future. And even while they remain queasy about former Gov. Mitt Romney's socially conservative positions, including on gay marriage, and eager to hear focused and specific economic proposals rather than "59-point plans," they say their desire for stronger economic leadership is leading them toward the GOP nominee.
"I don't feel what I am about to express is a minority opinion; There are a lot of folks who feel disappointed with Obama," says Dave Alpern, a private equity investor who voted for Obama in 2008. He donated to GOP nominee Sen. John McCain while his wife donated to Obama. "I bought off on the 'let's do things differently' and 'change is in the air.' I found his message to be very inspiring."
Now, not so much.
"The primary criticism I have of Obama is the business plan going forward from here. What do we do to solve major structural imbalances in the economy?" says Alpern. "There is just no plan around that. Everything Obama is now saying is, 'Look at the Republican Party, those guys are worse,' when to me there are some glaringly obvious things that need to be done. By avoiding specifics he is playing politics in a way that he told us we would not do. The entitlement reform math doesn't work, period."
The president irked a number of financial services players who once filled his coffers by coming out on "60 Minutes" and saying that he did not "run for office to help a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street." But after the Dodd-Frank bill passed two years ago, he has been attacked by a slew of heavy hitters, who continue to fight the Volcker Rule, a measure which places limits on proprietary trading. Other investors say that the political rhetoric was more damaging than any substantive legislative changes. Some even joke that if a form of the Volcker rule survives, it should be called the "Dimon Rule," since it looked likely to go away until Jamie Dimon announced JP Morgan's several-billion-dollar trading loss resulting from the debacle of the "London Whale."
No one interviewed for this piece complained vigorously about the actual provisions of Dodd-Frank, though everyone noted it was an "imperfect bill." Rather, they point to the "us versus them" personal nature and broad brush of the president's rhetoric.
"That was the change, from the beginning of 2009 to the summer of 2010, you basically had the business community, especially the financial services community, go from saying, 'this is a smart individual who gets it,'" to someone who "seemed to single-mindedly focus on attacking the financial community," says a Boston-based investor who voted for Obama four years ago. "There is just this feeling across the financial services community, across the business community, that this guy hates us."
For others, the rhetoric around Wall Street reform has nothing to do with their disappointment with the president. They simply don't believe the president is willing to do what is needed to revive the sluggish US economy whose ill health now dominates the 2012 campaign discussion. Unemployment has remained stubbornly stuck above 8 percent for the last 40 months. The coming "fiscal cliff" threatens a return to recession while more than 40 percent of the nation's nearly 13 million unemployed have been jobless for more than half the year. Even with a recent slightly upward revision, economic growth is tepid at best and too anemic to make a dent in unemployment.
"You have different CEOs for different times, and I think he was the right CEO for the Great Recession to come in and to be a uniter," says Doyl Burkett, a Los Angeles-based private equity investor and registered independent who attended a Barbra Streisand fundraiser for the president last cycle before voting for him. But while Burkett credits the president for managing through the crisis, noting that, "this could have turned into a bank run, with unemployment in high double-digits," more recent decisions, including the president's failure to approve the Keystone Pipeline, has led him to question the president's economic leadership. "I have been underwhelmed by his ability as leader to be the growth CEO. We just haven't seen a bump in the economy under his stewardship and that is what gives me pause."

In November we will vote on Senate Joint Resolution 8221, a constitutional amendment to reduce the state debt limit over twenty years from nine percent to eight percent of average annual state revenues. The measure would also change how revenue is calculated for purposes of determining the debt limit.
The ongoing burden of public debt imposes real costs. Right now, just servicing the debt consumes nearly $2 billion of the $31 billion two-year operating budget, or about six percent of spending, money that is not available for schools, roads or health care.
Concerned about the growing share of the operating budget going to pay debt and therefore not available for other programs, lawmakers in 2011 created a Commission on State Debt. According to the Commission:
• Servicing the debt is becoming a larger share of the operating budget leading to concerns that it is crowding out other spending programs;
• Washington's debt burden ranks in the top 10 nationally compared to other states (Washington ranks fifth or sixth highest, depending on the measure used), and;
• The state's current debt limit results in a capital budget process that works against the capital needs of the state and leads to low debt capacity when unemployment is high and prices and interest rates are low.
The Commission says SJR 8221 is needed to "smooth the amount of bond capacity over time while maintaining a predictable and sustainable capital budget."
That would allow the state to "reduce the amount of debt service as a share of the state operating budget over the long run."
To avoid any financial shock, SJR 8221 would gradually lower the debt burden over several years. The Office of Financial Management estimates it would reduce the state's borrowing capacity by a little over $1 billion by 2043.
State Treasurer Jim McIntire supports SJR 8221. He calls it "a sensible idea that helps protect taxpayers, lowers our constitutional debt limit and improves our ability to make investments during hard economic times."
Opponents worry changing the debt limit would shift property taxes away from schools and increase school construction costs.
Treasurer McIntire points out that the measure would not change the dedication of property taxes to local schools, and that school construction bonds are guaranteed by the state, so they benefit from the same high credit rating. SJR 8221 would do nothing to change that arrangement.
Washington is a high debt state and has seen a growing percentage of the operating budget going to pay for debt service instead of funding other public services.
SJR 8221's proposed phase-down of the state's constitutional debt limit from nine percent to eight percent by 2034 would help reduce this problem while providing a more predictable capital budget cycle.
Washington Policy Center recommends adopting reforms like that proposed by SJR 8221 to help reduce the state's debt burden on taxpayers. SJR 8221 would strengthen the state's finances by implementing the recommendations of the Debt Commission and free up more of the state's operating budget in the future for education and other important public programs.

Hummingbirds love delphinium, which blooms in early summer. Height for these perennials can average anywhere from 2 to 8 feet tall, depending on variety. Delphinium requires rich soil, and areas with relatively cool summers.
