Pro Bowl guard Carl Nicks was one of the most coveted free agents in the 2012 class before signing a 5-year, $47.5 million deal with Tampa Bay. Nicks spoke to PewterReport.com recently about what he expects from himself and his teammates in 2012.
While the acquisition of wide receiver Vincent Jackson grabbed the biggest headlines during the opening day of free agency last March, the follow up signee could have an even bigger impact on the Buccaneers offense in 2012.
Tampa Bay inked former Saints guard Carl Nicks to a 5-year, $47.5 million deal just hours after signing Jackson and those around the league took notice that the Buccaneers serious about spending money. With Nicks anchoring the left side guard spot, and Pro Bowler Davin Joseph on the right, opposing defenses are expected to get a heavy dose of the duo on game day. Nicks thinks this offensive line can be one of the best in the league.
"Absolutely (we can be the best)," Nicks said. "I mean it all starts up front with the line and I think we're going to be the leaders of this team. We're going to win and lose games off our backs. That's how I take it, that's how our whole offensive line has got to take it. If you can protect the quarterback and you can run the ball, why should you lose? If they score seventy, you just got to score seventy-one. I put it on my back and I think the whole offensive line does too."
When Nicks was introduced at his initial press conference back in March the former Nebraska star talked about his love for running the football. This week at training camp Nicks explained some of the reasons behind what is so appealing about running.
"First thing, it gets the defensive line tired," Nicks said. "You can wear them down and that helps your pass protection. Another thing is knocking a guy down and watching him get up, just seeing the tiredness and the hurt in his eyes, you just thrive off that. So if I can maul somebody every play, that's what I'm going to try to do. In pass protection, their going to be tired and I'm going to be fresh after just mauling you, so I'm excited."
While even the most casual sports fans know the Saints were a prolific passing team last season, New Orleans wasn't one dimensional. In fact the Saints were the league's No. 6 rushing team in 2011, averaging 131.9 yards per game on the ground.
"You know (the) NFL is (the) NFL," Nicks said. "Some people might call the Saints a passing team, but at the end of the day they had to run the ball. You know, we weren't throwing it a hundred times a day. So, (the) NFL is (the) NFL. It's going to be physical no matter where you're at."
Despite a 4-12 season a year ago, Nicks isn't conceding that 2012 will be a project season.
"It's not a rebuilding year," Nicks said. "We're trying to win. We're trying to shock some teams, kind of like how Detroit did it after their few years of not doing so good and San Francisco shocked the world. We're trying to do something like that. So bringing in veteran guys, skill guys, and Pro Bowlers it's going to be fun to see what we do out there."
While football obviously is Nicks' main focus, the Pro Bowl guard has some causes he strives to raise awareness for – two of which affect him directly.
"I want to work with autistic children and children with asthma," Nicks said. "One, my older sister is autistic. I grew up with that, I've dealt with that, and I've seen how hard it is for parents and siblings. So anything to help that cause, situation I'm all about.
"And you know I myself have asthma, so I understand that a lot of guys in the NFL have asthma and you can still be at a high level. You just got to watch what you're doing and really pay attention to your breathing. Without air you'll die. (I deal with my asthma with) inhalers on the bench, you take medicine for it. You have got to be in great shape. You got to be in better shape than everybody else."
Nicks wouldn't give a prediction of exactly how he thinks the Buccaneers will do in 2012, but told PewterReport.com success will come when certain things fall into place.
"We do have talent," Nicks said. "But one thing we are a young team. You know I'm kind of looked at as the veteran and this is barely my fifth year. So it's kind of a different role for me. You know we're a young team we got a lot of talent, but its got to come together. Our attention to detail has got to be second to none and our game preparation has to be the best."

I want some schlobberknocker football tonight!
August 10, 2012

Horse: I'm not saying the players on defense are the "finished product" by any means. The point I'm making is that the probable line-up in 2012 is not the same as last seasons offering. About half of the defensive starters will be different. Apparently you expect an even greater turnover in one year.
August 10, 2012
5:40 pm
Scubog, yes I do considering it was the worse Defense we ever had in our Buc history.
August 10, 2012
4:50 am
Horse: The defense does have a lot of new faces and players no longer injured if that counts. Roy Miller and Gerald McCoy no longer injured replacing Frank Okam and Albert Haynesworth. Lavonte David replacing Geno Hayes. Aqib Talib no longer injured and Eric Wright replacing E.J. Biggers and Ronde Barber. Mark Barron and Ronde Barber replacing Sean Jones and Tanard Jackson. Same defense? not hardly.
August 10, 2012
8:14 am
Scubog so what you are saying is that this Defense is ready to help us win 8 games? Miller, Q. Black, Bennett are same old faces whether they actually started or not last year at this time; they sure did put a lot of time in most of the games. I am willing to give McCoy a shot and hope that he will be desruptive this year. Barber is a bandaid for this year only and I doubt he will hold up at Safety unless he is not going to be doing a lot of tackling. The biggest problem as I see it is Bowers going down right after the draft; that's a hard position to fix. Maybe you see that there is enough talent already on the defensive team, but I don't. We need at least four more new starters for next year and I think we will be there. I am encouraged that we will be contenders next year.
August 9, 2012
10:32 pm
I love Nick's passion and honesty both, and there is no doubt he can back it up on the field, too. He will be the leader of our offensive line and a role model for the rest. I predict he will elevate the play of the rest of our offensive line. Thank goodness he's not lazy and feeling entitled like Haynesworth! They really need to excel at the running game not just because it tires out the defense, but because we now have a full stable of capable running backs and I see Trueblood as the weak link on our starting line, but he is twice as good leading the run than he is in pass blocking against elite blitzers. If we get our running game truly going in every game this year, we have the capability to put up big numbers this year. With just a decent defense, we should be a lot more fun to watch this year, and will be a lot more competitive than just a young rebuilding team. Nick is right!

Carl, it's a rebuilding year. We have taken care of the Offense so we are competitive on that side of the game. I think we will also be much improved on Special Teams too. It's the defensive side that has lots of room for improvement. I would be more excited about the Defense if we were using more players that weren't on this team last year. Just my opinion. We have improved; we just need more talent. Coach is going to get us there. I honestly believe that next year we will be contenders.

That was a recycled article. Read the exact same thing a few weeks ago.
August 9, 2012
4:04 pm
Recycled from where? Not from us.These quotes were from last Friday. Maybe Carl Nicks has his answers memorized. But I'm not asking him if he does.

I want to see us run right behind this guy! I just hope he can be the road grader the Buc's and he says he is.

A firm tap on the hand is used to express "let's go" or "go away".
This gesture could symbolise the knife which cuts the hand of a thief and basically says: "this is what you can expect as your punishment before going to jail". It could also be the symbolic origin of the modern "get off" gesture.

text: Reduced Weight + Increased Ventilation.The System Seven™ chest protector is jam-packed with high end features. Weight has been reduced compared to the CP28PRO by reworking the padding system with multi-level foam construction. Numerous thin layers of foam were handpicked and layered for specific qualities, such as breathability, flexibility, and dampening. We strategically placed lightweight plastic plates around the collar bone, throat, and sternum areas so that the chest protector will take the brunt of the impact, not you.The U-Bars. The side "U-Bars" help conform the chest protector to a player's body and also help present a solid target which pitchers love. Some catchers have even been known to use the "U-Bars" for their signaling. On the outside is increased wrap around siding. Compared to past models, these wrap around sides have been made thinner… because if you get hit there you are doing something wrong. Between the Bars. On the CP30PRO, however, the true beauty lies between the bars. Six pads have been wedged and as a result, balls blocked drastically kick downward. This feature transforms the chest protector into a vital tool used to make uncontrollable balls a thing of the past. Compared to the CP28PRO, ball rebound has been reduced by half. The ball will literally drop down right before you. No need to chase it. Delta Flex™.If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Our Delta Flex™ harness technology has been a huge hit and as a result, we have incorporated it into the new CP30PRO. The harness is constructed with wider straps which won't dig in and also features a neoprene 'triangle' which keeps the chest protector right where it's supposed to be. Strap lengths are 100% adjustable from 4 points, allowing the fit to be completely customized.

Reviews for Peanut Butter Bars(14)
Sort By :
Great - and a whole lot easier than cookies. In the oven and done!
This might be the best combination of peanut butter/chocolate/oats that we've tasted! Very well-balanced flavor. These remind me of a great chocolate chip cookie, but even better. I plan on making these often, for my family and for friends who just had a baby.
So yummy! I did cut back a little on the sugars (didn't pack brown sugar, 1/3 C gran. sugar). I used 1/2C whole wheat flour and about 1 1/2 C oats (cut soda in half too). No icing used. This recipe had plenty of choc. chips, may cut those down next time. I even threw in a super ripe banana I had around - you could taste it a little, but family took a while to guess my 'secret ingredient'.
I am just questioning the yield...- 3-4 dozen out of a 9x13 pan?
I HAVE used this recipe & it's par excellence!
Thank you for sharing this, Patricia Staudt!

Lee John Westwood OBE (born 24 April 1973) is an English professional golfer. Noted for his consistency, Westwood is one of the few golfers who has won tournaments on every major continent, including victories on the European Tour and the PGA Tour. He was named player of the year for the 1998, 2000, and 2009 seasons. He has won the 2000 European Tour Order of Merit, and the renamed 2009 Race to Dubai. He has represented Europe for the last seven consecutive Ryder Cups. In late 2010 Westwood became the World number one golfer, ending the reign of Tiger Woods, and becoming the first British golfer since Nick Faldo in 1994 to hold that position. He held the number one position for a total of 22 weeks.
Born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, Westwood began to play golf aged 13 with a half set bought by grandparents. His father John, a mathematics teacher, took up the game at the same time to encourage his son. A talented sportsman at school, Lee played rugby, cricket and football.
Westwood had a later start at the game than many future tournament professionals, but less than two years later he was the junior champion of Nottinghamshire. In 1990 he won his first amateur tournament, the Peter McEvoy Trophy. In 1993 he won the British Youth Championship and turned professional.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCB). Due to the deficiency of functional GCB, glucocerebroside accumulates within macrophages leading to cellular engorgement, organomegaly, and organ system dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of every other week dosing of Gene-Activated® human glucocerebrosidase (GA-GCB, velaglucerase alfa) intravenously in patients with type 1 Gaucher disease.

Detailed Description:
Type 1 Gaucher disease, the most common form,accounts for more than 90% of all cases and does not involve the CNS. Typical manifestations of type 1 Gaucher disease include hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, bleeding tendencies, anemia, hypermetabolism, skeletal pathology, growth retardation, pulmonary disease, and decreased quality of life. Gene-Activated® human glucocerebrosidase (GA-GCB,velaglucerase alfa) is produced in a continuous human cell line using proprietary gene-activation technology and has an identical amino acid sequence to the naturally occurring human enzyme. GA-GCB contains terminal mannose residues that target the enzyme to the macrophages-the primary target cells in Gaucher disease. This study was designed to determine the long-term safety of GA-GCB in men, women, and children with Type 1 Gaucher disease.

SideCar is donating all proceeds earned this weekend to Hurricane Sandy relief
Yesterday we told you about SideCar, the community-powered ride-sharing service that's available in both San Francisco and Seattle. Today, the company sent out an update to its userbase announcing that all proceeds earned this weekend (November 9-11) will be donated to the American Red Cross to help with Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. If you're a driver, you'll still get to keep your 80% portion of the fare, so it's SideCar's 20% split that goes toward charity. So if you're in Seattle or San Francisco and need a ride this weekend, keep SideCar in mind!

NoteWorthy Software, Inc. | Wednesday, 11 December 2013 |
Learn More about NoteWorthy Composer ™ |
NoteWorthy Composer is a software music composition and notation processor for Windows. It allows you to create, record, edit, print and play back your own musical scores. |
Download Evaluation · Screen Shot · History · Reviews
FAQ · Support · User Pages · Upgrade · Order · Order Status
Create Your Own Songs
Write your own songs, or transcribe existing songs, using the notation editor. The editor allows you to create notation in a manner similar to writing a document in a word processor. Add parts (staves), notes, text, lyrics, and symbols directly from the editor. A note palette is available for visually setting most note attributes, with optional keyboard shortcuts for note entry using only the computer keyboard. An Undo/Redo feature allows you to reverse up to 100 of your most recent changes.
Listen to Your Songs
Songs can be played back via your computer's sound card, or to external MIDI setups. Notes are highlighted as they are played, so you can follow along while the computer plays back your creation.
Record Your Performance
You can use an external MIDI keyboard for real-time and step-time entry of your music. Use the record button to record a new performance while the current song is played, and then polish it in the notation editor. For step-time input, you can interactively input your notes remotely from a MIDI keyboard while editing a score.
Print Your Songs
Print your whole score for a conductor's view, or just the parts that you select. You can specify the notation size, in points, for fitting various arrangements on the page. Arrangements can be previewed prior to printing.
Import and Export Standard MIDI File Format
Use the interactive Import Wizard to load an existing performance that is contained in a standard MIDI file (*.mid). The performance will automatically be converted to notation, which you can then listen to, edit, rearrange, and polish. Standard MIDI files can be exported, which can be shared with others who need *.mid file format.
Transpose Parts into Other Keys
A transpose feature can be used to transpose parts from one key to another. Notes and key signatures are automatically updated to the new key. Support is included for instruments that are not tuned to concert C (A440) tuning via a second, audio only transpose mechanism.
Publish Your Songs on the Internet
There are several supporting freeware products for NoteWorthy Composer that will allow you to share your NoteWorthy Composer song files (*.nwc) with your friends, family and fans. The NoteWorthy Composer Browser Plug-in extends the capabilities of your web browser to include the display, play back and printing of *.nwc song files. As an NWC user and web page designer, show your *.nwc song files in action on your site by embedding the song files to display in the NWC Browser Plug-in. NoteWorthy Composer Viewer is an application that will display and play back *.nwc song files. With the NoteWorthy Composer Winamp Plug-in, *.nwc song files can be added to a Winamp play list.

OK to Wake! Nightlight is programmable by the parent - you define what time the 'Green means GO!' light turns on in the morning. Kids take pride in waiting for the green light before they come visit you in the bedroom with the knowledge of a job well-done. In the evening, OK to Wake! is a comforting nightlight (soft yellow glow) that can be turned on at the tap of a 'toe' for a programmable duration (up to two hours). For older children that want to get up 'on their own', OK to Wake! is a fully-functional alarm clock with snooze - just like mom and dad's! A pleasant gradual-wake (ascending volume) tone gently rouses your child. When sounding, the left toe button snoozes for ten minutes and the right toe button silences the bell. Fun animations make OK to Wake! Come to life with smiles and winks whenever the alarm is sounding. OK to Wake! It includes a special built-in nap timer. Press a button to nap for up to 24 hours (fully customizable) without the other clock settings. And, best of all, the nap timer can conclude with the OK to Wake! light, the gradual-wake tone or both! OK to Wake! It comes with two interchangeable colored bezels (green bug and pink flower). OK to Wake! volume and brightness settings are fully adjustable to meet the preference of you and/or your child.The OK to Wake! Alarm Clock and Nightlight Features:

This has been very helpful for us. My son is starting to understand the concept of time but was not getting the concept of how long he needed to sleep. We only use the "ok to wake" feature and not the nightlight or alarm at this point, but for our purposes it works fine. The light is not so bright that it wakes him up if he's not yet (rare), but it makes it obvious that it's ok to get up when it is. I love that is is battery powered so it isn't tied into being in a certain place-we actually took it with us on vacation and that was very nice as it's even harder to get him to sleep in outside of our normal routine-plus he could reach over in the night and press the foot for light if he woked up disoriented. My only complaints are that the time itself is not 'backlit' or whatever all the time, although this is probably to conserve power since it's batter operated. Also I wish it came with (or you could get) more styles of the interchangeable face plate, or that the front was suitable for just leaving it off. My son is ok with the green bug face, but would prefer something else or nothing at all. I've seen reviews previously that said the battery power didn't last long, that it was hard to set, or that it broke easily, but so far we've not had any of these problems. It's simple to set and the batteries have lasted for over a month now, it survived one fall from dresser to fall and traveling in a suitcase so far as well. I actually bought 2, one for my son who is 6 and one for my daughter who is 3. It works great for my son, my daughter not as well but I think it will if we keep reminding about it. Her problem is that her bedroom is backed up to our bathroom so she really doesn't want to stay in bed once she hears us up and moving.
Most Helpful Critical Review
Not the best.
I think this is better for older children. Kids need to know their colors very well in order to understand the staying in bed part. The Kid'Sleep Bunny Clock is much better.

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Onaroo-American Innovative OK to Wake! Alarm Clock and Nightlight:
You cannot go wrong with this clock. As all of us parents know, sleep is precious!! My daughter at 2.5 years-old was getting up too early on weekends. I bought this and she has learned to stay in her bedroom until the clock turns green. Once she started wearing underwear at night she knew it was OK to go to the bathroom when she woke up & then go back to her room to play. She's now 3.5 and every night when she goes to bed she says "I wake up, I go potty, I go back to my room & I play till my clock turns green. I turn off the green, clean up my toys then wake Mommy!" ---I LOVE IT.It really only took a couple of weekends of using the clock for her to get what she was suppose to do.Pros:--You can set a morning wake up time and a nap time. For the morning wakeup, you choose a specfic time. For the nap, you set a duration (rather than a specific time). I love the nap duration feature b/c it's not like she makes it into her room to nap at the EXACT same time.--You can set the clock to turn green AND you can set an alarm if you wish ...though why would you WANT them to wake if they are sleeping late :) --Kids can easily turn off the "wake up" green by touching the clock's "foot."--Batteries last a LONG time... I have yet to change them since installing them 10 months agoJust a few things...--if you change the face plate, rotate it a quarter of a turn and then it will come off. Mine was missing that part on the instruction sheet (I bought the last one & the box had been opened).--read the instructions carefully. I am not sure why it does not function like a normal alarm clock but with some work the times can be set. --it may be my imagination, but it does seem to perpetually be about 5 minutes off--It is a little expensive.. BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY...

Very helpful
By MN Mom
from Blue Earth, MN
We bought this for our stubborn 2 year old who was fighting us about going back to bed in the middle of the night. He still likes to get up early, but he doesn't fight us about whether it's morning or not. He started sleeping through the night, FINALLY! I love that it's battery, because when we visit other people, there's not always an outlet available. Plus my son likes to bring it into my room in the morning so I can see it turned green. So far we've had it for about 2 months and it doesn't show any signs of the batteries running out at all. The light is plenty bright, in dark or bright rooms.The only draw-back we've just discovered is sometimes when you set it down the whole thing resets, which is kind of irritating. I still say it's worth it though! When our son starts dropping naps, we still plan to use the nap timer for quiet play time, so he knows when that time is done without asking me.
Love it!

My 2 1/2 year old caught on quick. Its easy to set & instructions on back are a good reminder if you forget. We set the light to go off at 6am (normal) wakeup time & then adjust the light to stay on for 1.5 hours after so she wasn't confused if she woke up later. As she gets use to going by the light we can adjust the "alarm" to go off a little later so we can sleep later. She loves coming in saying "Mommy its green, its green!".

Its great for Mom too! It's not magic, you have to set it for a reasonable time, but it at least stops her from waking up super early. My daughter is 3.

My daughter is 5, she loves this clock. The "ok to wake" feature is very helpful. We use it to tell her when it is "ok to wake" others in the house.

Absolutely Love it!
By Less Sleep Deprived
from Bozeman, MT
this clock did exactly what I needed - keeps my 4 year old in bed until an appropriate wake-up time. He was very excited to have his own clock and understood very quickly that "green" means get up. I love that is also has a separate alarm feature. We use the beeping alarm for school days and the "green" OK to wake feature on non-school days and weekends so that we don't have keep resetting the wake-up/alarm times.

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
After reading the reviews, I decided to buy this alarm clock, although I had my doubts about whether or not it would keep my almost 3 yr old in bed until 8 am. (She had been getting us up at 2:30 AM, 4:30 AM, 5 AM, etc... different times, different excuses different nights.) I was especially concerned after reading the review that mentioned that it might be too much for a toddler to understand. 4 days. That is how long it took for my almost 3 year old to 100% understand and follow the green-get-up rule. AMAZING. Now, before every nap and bed time she says, "Don't get up until clock turns GREEN!" She loves it. And- bonus, the "off" button is easy for young kids to find and push to turn the green light/alarm sound off. She turns it off all by herself. I love it! Best investment EVER for a mom who needs her beauty sleep! lol...

See all my reviews
Love it. The sweetest sound now in my house in the morning is "Mommy the light is green, I can get up now" It sounds so much better at 6:00 than crying at 4:45am becaue she had no idea what time it was and if she could get up.

I agree - the new forums are cold, impersonal looking, and remind me of early 1990s internet bulletin boards rather than something fun, warm, and innovative. Plus they are harder to use - except for this quick reply feature, which is a nice improvement. I'd prefer to give up teh quick reply, however, for the look and feel that nameberry used to have!

Volume 7, Issue 2 First Quarter 2012 Inside this issue: SENIOR SPOTLIGHT KEDDO Area Agency on Aging LIHEAP -Winter Heating Assistance Reduced Area Agency on Aging Staff Kim Rose Director Samantha Humphreys Information and Assistance Coordinator Sueann Deela Bookkeeper/Planner Renee Johnson Ombudsman Supervisor Pat Braund Ombudsman Supervisor Oklahomans who depend on heating assistance through the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) federally-funded Low Income Home Energy Assis-tance Program (LIHEAP) will see a greatly reduced dollar amount this winter. As a result of the limited funds, an open application period which was to have taken place December 1st will not occur. OKDHS officials say because of the lower amount provided in the federal budget, the number of Oklahomans who traditionally receive benefits will be drastically reduced. The OKDHS-LIHEAP budget is roughly one-third what it was a year ago, with only $16 million appropriated to fund multiple programs, including winter heating, energy crisis assistance, and summer cooling. "Typically we have an open application period for winter heating assistance that normally would begin Dec.1st," said Kathie Wright, OKDHS Programs manager. "But because of the drastically reduced funds this year, we will only offer assis-tance to pre-approved households, or those who already receive benefits through other OKDHS programs and identified as most vulnerable." "This goes against the very core of our mission at OKDHS, which is to help Okla-homans in need. However, with limited funds from the federal government we can only do what we can with what we have, " Wright said. Additionally, Wright says the amount provided to households who are pre-authorized will be less than previous years. "We were faced with some very tough decisions this year," Wright said. "We could keep the same dollar amount paid to households in past years, and help less people, or we could reduce the dollar amount to each household and try to help as many Oklahomans as possible. We chose the second option." If congress approves a budget & LIHEAP is funded at a higher rate than currently anticipated, OKDHS will consider accepting applications from other households at a later date in the winter of 2012. "Bottom line is that OKDHS is trying to help as many Oklahomans as possible with what we have been provided," Wright said, "and we continue to hope addi-tional funds will become available." source: OKDHS News Release Look for our newsletter on the KEDDO website at www.keddo.org under the Programs tab then click on Area Agency on Aging.

House approves Senate's fiscal cliff deal
Bill will raise roughly $600 billion in new revenues over 10 years
The House of Representatives voted Tuesday night to approve a Senate bill to avert a feared fiscal cliff.
The measure that sought to maintain tax cuts for most Americans but increase rates on the wealthy passed the Democratic-led Senate overwhelmingly early in the day.
There was discussion about amending the Senate bill by adding spending cuts, but in the end, House lawmakers voted on the bill as written -- a so-called up or down vote.
The legislation would raise roughly $600 billion in new revenues over 10 years, according to various estimates.
The timing of the vote was crucial, as a new Congress is set to be sworn in Thursday.
The legislation averted much of the fiscal cliff's negative near-term economic impact by extending the Bush-era tax cuts for the majority of Americans. It also extends long-term unemployment benefits that were set to expire.
Had the House not acted, and the tax cuts enacted last decade expired fully, broad tax increases would have kicked in, as would $110 billion in automatic cuts to domestic and military spending.
In a statement Congressman Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., had this to say:
"I recognize that this last minute push to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff has been frustrating for the American people. I share in that frustration. The House passed bills to avoid the fiscal cliff last year. We are only in this position now because Senate Democrats and President Obama failed to take any action for months. So tonight, the House is voting on a rushed bill that does not address the underlying cause of our nation's fiscal problem: overspending.
"All along, I have been fighting for American taxpayers. They deserve low taxes and a government that lives within its means. I oppose the bill the Senate sent to the House because although it gives lower taxes to many Americans, it fails to do anything to address the spending crisis. Until we bring spending under control and reform entitlements, we will never have a truly prosperous economy with strong job creation. Another major problem is that most of the new tax revenue demanded by President Obama is spent on government programs rather than reducing the deficit.
"I will continue to work toward common sense solutions to bring Washington's spending under control. Washington does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem."
Congressman Scott Tipton, R-Colo., also issued a statement:
"Washington did not tax its way to a $16.3 trillion debt; it spent its way there. The Senate package does nothing to address the spending crisis in this country that has resulted in four straight years of trillion dollar deficits and a $16.3 trillion debt. In May and August of this past year, the House passed legislation to avert the fiscal cliff, avoid sequestration, and protect all Americans from tax increases. The Senate refused to act then, and instead sent an incomplete package in the dead of night to the House that fails to address spending in any way and kicks the can down the road. The Senate bill raises $41 million in revenues for every $1 dollar of spending cuts. It is nothing more than business as usual as Washington tries to increase the size of government on the backs of the hard working American people. The failure to face the real issue-the spending crisis in this country-is irresponsible, dysfunctional and egregious.
The business as usual mentality of Washington is what brought us the fiscal cliff in the first place, and ultimately, is what feeds the economic uncertainty that has lead to credit downgrades and 23 million unemployed Americans. It's irresponsible to punt on spending reform, and even worse to put it off until the country is up against the debt ceiling, further jeopardizing the United States' credit rating, creating additional economic uncertainty. Adding insult to injury, taxes are going to go up on thousands of small businesses. These businesses will be forced to lay off employees, cut benefits, and delay hiring, all in order to foot the bill for a package that, at the end of the day, does nothing to solve the fiscal crisis.
The people of my district want a balanced solution that deals with the national debt now by cutting wasteful spending in Washington; a solution that would provide long-term certainty to grow the economy, and get people back to work. A package that raises taxes, grows government, and punts on spending does not achieve these goals and is unacceptable. It's time the President and Congress do what is right-not what is easy-to fix the problem.
Medicare and Social Security are on the path to bankruptcy if we do not act to get spending under control, as are countless other safety nets and valuable programs. Washington cannot continue to mortgage our children and grandchildren's future by delaying or blocking every meaningful attempt to put our nation on a sustainable fiscal course. The time to act is now, and I will fight to get spending under control in this country, eliminate waste, and do what is responsible for future generations."
