   “everything’s on the table”: popular phrase employed by Democrat politicians to explain that they have no idea how to fund the monstrous increases in spending they hope for with their policy objectives. The phrase typically is used instead of the politically-dangerous “I plan to increase your taxes”, but essentially means the same thing. Also used to say that the hard decisions about a policy initiative have not been made, but will be deferred until a later time when someone else can be held accountable for making them at a meeting that will be conducted around a conference table.

   It is not just Democrats — that is what George Herbert Hoover Bush said before he negotiated the 1990 Budget deal that included massive tax increases. I think only 8 house Republicans ended up voting for that monstrosity.

   So I suppose that means state employee layoffs are on the table? And issuing royalty producing licenses for those off-shore gas sites are on the table? Oh and cutting the Warner sales tax increase is on the table … right?

   Gardener, I think those things are what he’s wedged under the table to make it level. By now that table’s got to be about ten miles wide to hold all the tax increases he thinks we need.

   I say let’s clear the table, take an axe to it, toss it in the fire pit and roast some weinies (a/k/a Democrat candidates) on Nov 3.

   Deeds is not the best orator ever seen in Virginia, that’s for sure. But given that the Republican Party endured 8 years of George W. Bush mangling the language, eloquence is not a legitimate ground for anyone on the right to use to bash anyone to their left.

   Agreed. Now let’s talk about tax increases and mo-mo-mo-move on.
