Washington, DC
This week, I laid out my plan for our fiscal future. It¶s a balanced plan that reduces spending and brings down the deficit, putting America back on track toward paying down our debt.
We know why this challenge is so critical. If we don¶t act, a rising tide of borrowing willdamage our economy, costing us jobs and risking our future prosperity by sticking our childrenwith the bill.
At the same time, we have to take a balanced approach to reducing our deficit ± an approach that protects the middle class, our commitments to seniors, and job-creating investments in thingslike education and clean energy. What¶s required is an approach that draws support from both parties, and one that¶s based on the values of shared responsibility and shared prosperity.
Now, one plan put forward by some Republicans in the House of Representatives aims to reduceour deficit by $4 trillion over the next ten years. But while I think their goal is worthy, I believetheir vision is wrong for America.
It¶s a vision that says at a time when other nations are hustling to out-compete us for the jobs and businesses of tomorrow, we have to make drastic cuts in education, infrastructure, and cleanenergy ± the very investments we need to win that competition and get those jobs.
It¶s a vision that says that in order to reduce the deficit, we have to end Medicare as we know it,and make cuts to Medicaid that would leave millions of seniors, poor children, and Americans

Presented (Perhaps shorter than some
would expect) indeed worse than a True
Lie?
When something becomes known how it is
called a Secret?
If those who think that they know have the
knowledge of nothing about anything
perhaps the Secret remains a Secret to
those who cannot see the same object or

But even as this plan proposes these drastic cuts, it would also give $1 trillion in tax breaks tothe wealthiest 2% of Americans ± an extra $200,000 for every millionaire and billionaire in thecountry.
I don¶t think that¶s right. I don¶t think it¶s right to ask seniors to pay thousands more for health

Washington, DC
This week , I laid out my plan for our fiscal future. It¶s a balanced plan that reduces spending
and brings down the deficit, putting America back on track toward paying down our debt.
We know why this challenge is so critical. If we don¶t act, a rising tide of borrowing willdamage our economy, costing us jobs and risking our future prosperity by sticking our childrenwith the bill.
At the same time, we have to take a balanced approach to reducing our deficit ± an approach that

protects the middle class, our commitments to seniors, and job-creating investments in thingslike education and clean energy.
What¶s required is an approach that draws support from both parties, and one that¶s based onthe values of shared responsibility and shared prosperity.
Now, one plan put forward by some Republicans in the House of Representatives aims to reduce

our deficit by $4 trillion over the next ten years. But while I think their goal is worthy, I believe their vision is wrong for America.
It¶s a vision that says at a time when other nations are hustling to out-compete us for the jobs and businesses of tomorrow, we have to make drastic cuts in education, infrastructure, and clean
energy ± the very investments we need to win that competition and get those jobs.
It¶s a vision that says that in order to reduce the deficit, we have to end Medicare as we know it,
and make cuts to Medicaid that would leave millions of seniors, poor children, and Americanswith disabilities without the care they need.

But even as this plan proposes these drastic cuts, it would also give $1 trillion in tax breaks tothe wealthiest 2% of Americans ± an extra $200,000 for every millionaire and billionaire in thecountry.
I don¶t think that¶s right. I don¶t think it¶s right to ask seniors to pay thousands more for healthcare, or ask students to postpone college, just so we don¶t have to ask those who have prosperedso much in this land of opportunity to give back a little more.

A Greek Army on the March is a social and cultural history of the Cyreans, the classical Greek mercenary soldiers depicted in
Xenophon¶s Anabasis. While historians have traditionally viewedthe Cyrean army as a single political community, this book reveals that the soldiers¶ lives were largely defined by a pair of smaller social communities: the formal unit organization of thelochos (µcompany¶) and the informal comradeship of the
suskenia (µmess group¶).

In 1926 a paleolithic type of spear point
(the Folsom Point) was discovered in New
Mexico in association with an extinct
species of bison. The favored date for this
point is c. 10,000 B.C. But two earlier types
of point (Sandia and Clovis Flutes) have
been found associated with mammothremains, calling for a date of at least c.
15,000 B.C. The conservative estimates
now run up to 35,000 B.C.,8and some are
even prophesying "that the next few years will
show the presence of man on this continent
long before 'the end of the Pleistocene.' "
On his deathbed, Darius left the throne to Arses, whotook the royal name Artaxerxes II. The satrapTissaphernes took the opportunity toaccuse Cyrus of plotting against the new Great King.Artaxerxes, believing the charge, had his younger brother arrested. Parysatis, though, intervenedto keep Artaxerxes from executingCyrus, and senthim back to Ionia. Cyrus took the lesson to heart. Theonly way to keep his head off the chopping block was to depose Artaxerxes and become Great
King himself. He set about making his preparations.
Like the siege of Troy, the siege of Jericho is thesubject of much speculation over the recordedsource (which was written after a significantamount of time had elapsed) and the archaeologicalevidence. Although the details of the biblicalaccount of the fall of Jericho are much sketchier than the extended story of Troy told by Homer,modern evidence unearthed at Tel es-Sultan (themodern site of ancient Jericho) gives a greater substantiation to the Hebrew-Canaanite battle.

with them that he was most wont to wrangle; now,however, with a shrill squeaky voice he began heaping his
abuse on Agamemnon. The Achaeans were angry and
disgusted, yet none the less he kept on brawling and
bawling at the son of Atreus.

The new generals had been selected as leaders of the existingcontingents, but preparing for the retreat up the Tigris demandedsome changes in contingent organization. Facing superior Persiancavalry and without horsemen of their own, the mercenariesdecided to adopt a hollow square ( plaision) for marching (see
below, p. 155, and Figs. 6.3, 6.4). Xenophon and Timasion took therear of this formation, while Cheirisophus took the lead, andCleanor, Philesius, Sophaenetus, and Xanthicles commanded theflanks in unspecified pairs.67 Since the existing contingents weregrossly unequal in hoplite strength, ranging from Timasion¶s 3,000to Xanthicles¶ 500, there must have been some shifting about of
lochoi amongst contingents in order to create the rectangular formation Xenophon describes.68 The peltasts too departed their original contingents, some taking up positions at the front and rear
while others remained as a central reserve within the square.69

After Cunaxa, and especially after the seizure of the generals, probably the usual pattern was for troops to carry as muchfood as they could, for they never knew when they might run across
the next supply source. A daily water or wine ration of two literswould add an additional 2 kg (4.4 lb) to a soldier¶s burden. Becausethey traveled wellwatered territory, probably the Cyreans carried nomore than a single day¶s ration. An exception that shows normal practice appears in the Arcadian±Achaean secession episode.Surrounded by angry natives and cut off from nearby streams, theArcadians and Achaeans ran low on water after a single day,suggesting that they had not carried any reserve.97 Finally, each manneeded at least a kilogram of firewood daily; as with food, the

If one of his soldiers fell wounded, Arystas probably also tried to prevent more than the minimum number of suskenoi from dropping out of column to carry their incapacitatedcomrade. At least his casualties had friends close by; the peltasts outthere skirmishing with the Persians had little chance of retrieval if theyfell.131 As he watched the peltasts come tumbling back, dust-covered and panting, from yet another sortie outside the square, Arystas must have been thankful that he was not amongst them.

Earlier this week, the President proposed a balanced approach to cut the deficit,which matches the $4 trillion in deficit reduction put forward by House Republicans¶ plan.
The President¶s proposal does this by combing the entire budget for savings and asking

Now, one plan put forward by some Republicans in the House of Representatives aims to reduce

The two armies were burning with impatience to attack each other. But the Emperor dreading the irresistiblefirst shock of the Latin cavalry hit upon a new device.He had wagons built, smaller and lighter than theordinary ones, and four poles fixed to each, in these he placed heavy infantry so that when the Latins camedashing down at full gallop upon the Roman phalanx,the heavy-armed infantry should push the wagons
forward and thus break the Latins' line.

It¶s a vision that says that in order to reduce the deficit, we have to end Medicare as we know it,and make cuts to Medicaid that would leave millions of seniors, poor children, and Americanswith disabilities without the care they need.
But even as this plan proposes these drastic cuts, it would also give $1 trillion in tax breaks tothe wealthiest 2% of Americans ± an extra $200,000 for every millionaire and billionaire in thecountry.
I don¶t think that¶s right. I don¶t think it¶s right to ask seniors to pay thousands more for healthcare, or ask students to postpone college, just so we don¶t have to ask those who have prosperedso much in this land of opportunity to give back a little more.

To restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice ± but we don¶t have tosacrifice the America we believe in.
That¶s why I¶ve proposed a balanced approach that matches that $4 trillion in deficit reduction.It¶s an approach that combs the entire budget for savings, and asks everyone to do their part.And I¶ve called on Democrats and Republicans to join me in this effort ± to put aside their
differences to help America meet this challenge. That¶s how we¶ve balanced our budget before,and it¶s how we¶ll succeed again.
We¶ll build on the savings we made from last week¶s bipartisan budget agreement, while protecting the job-creating investments that are critical to our future.
We¶ll find additional savings in our defense budget. Over the last two years, the Secretary of Defense has taken on wasteful spending that does nothing to protect our troops or our nation,saving $400 billion in current and future spending. I believe we can do that again.

A rabbi oversaw each kehillah, or community, hearing civil cases and serving as an authority on religiouslaw.

U.S. intelligence reported in March 2006that a new ICBM, which could be deployed in bothland- and sea-based versions, may be under development but had not yet been test-launched.9 InDecember 2007, a spokesman for the StrategicMissile Force stated, ³In the next 5±10 years,Russia¶s [missile force] may adopt a new, moreadvanced ballistic missile system [than the Topol-
M]´ for possible deployment starting in 2017.10
Even then, the scheme was vague; Drozdov didn¶t evenhave a floor plan of Amin¶s palace, which the KGB would put together later.
The most effective method for securing the Russian CW and BW programs would be destruction of current stockpiles, conversion of former production facilities, and the provision of peaceful work for
former weapons scientists so that they are not lured into illicit programsin nations of concern. Russia has run into several problems inachieving these goals. Destruction of current stockpiles, for example,
imposes an economic burden on Russia that it can ill afford.

businesses of tomorrow, we have to make drastic cuts in education, infrastructure, and cleanenergy ± the very investments we need to win that competition and get those jobs.
It¶s a vision that says that in order to reduce the deficit, we have to end Medicare as we know it,and make cuts to Medicaid that would leave millions of seniors, poor children, and Americanswith disabilities without the care they need.
But even as this plan proposes these drastic cuts, it would also give $1 trillion in tax breaks to
As the Secretary General of the United Nations, an organizations of the 147
member states who represent almost all of the human inhabitants of the planet
earth. I send greetings on behalf of the people of our planet. We step out of
our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship, to teach
if we are called upon, to be taught if we are fortunate. We know full well that
our planet and all its inhabitants are but a small part of the immense universe
that surrounds us and it is with humility and hope that we take this step.
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States and the
State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that I will bear true
faith and allegiance to the same; and that I
will obey the orders of the President of theUnited States and the Governor of (STATE
NAME) and the orders of the officers
appointed over me, according to law and
regulations. So help me God.
While I give you these assurances, and pledge
myself in the most unequivocal manner to exert
whatever ability I am possessed of in your
favor, let me entreat you, gentlemen, on your
part, not to take any measures which, viewed
in the calm light of reason, will lessen the
dignity and sully the glory you have hitherto
maintained; let me request you to rely on the
plighted faith of your country, and place a
full confidence in the purity of the
intentions of Congress; that, previous to your
dissolution as an army, they will cause all
your accounts to be fairly liquidated, as
directed in their resolutions, which were
published to you two days ago, and that they
will adopt the most effectual measures in
their power to render ample justice to you,
for your faithful and meritorious services.

the wealthiest 2% of Americans ± an extra $200,000 for every millionaire and billionaire in thecountry.
I don¶t think that¶s right. I don¶t think it¶s right to ask seniors to pay thousands more for healthcare, or ask students to postpone college, just so we don¶t have to ask those who have prosperedso much in this land of opportunity to give back a little more.
To restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice ± but we don¶t have tosacrifice the America we believe in.
When I was about twelve, sitting on my uncle Buddys porch in Hope, a
man walked up the steps, looked at me, and said, Youre Bill Blythes
son. You look just like him. I beamed for days.
Still, when I think about what that old Washington hand told me thatnight, when I ponder the work of a George Kennan or a George Marshall,when I read the speeches of a Bobby Kennedy or an Everett Dirksen, Ican¶t help feeling that the politics of today suffers from a case of arresteddevelopment. For these men, the issues America faced were never abstract and hence never simple. War might be hell and still the rightthing to do. Economies could collapse despite the best-laid plans. People
could work hard all their lives and still lose everything.
Nonstrategic weapons. The Russian government provides little information about its inventory of nonstrategic nuclear warheads.This secrecy only encourages rumors and distrust.President Boris Yeltsin pledged in 1992 that productof warheads for groundlaunched tactical missiles,artillery shells, and mines had stopped and that all ofthose warheads would be eliminated. In addition, he
pledged that Russia would dispose of half of all tactiairborne and surface-to-air warheads, as well as one-third of all tactical naval warheads. The RussianForeign Ministry declared in 2004 that ³more than 50
percent´ of these tactical warheads had been³liquidated,´ and in 2007, a Russian Defense Ministrspokesman provided a further update.20
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights

We¶ll reduce health care spending, and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid through common-sense reforms that will get rid of wasteful subsidies and increase efficiency.
We¶ll reduce spending in our tax code with tax reform that¶s fair and simple ± so that the amountof taxes you pay doesn¶t depend on how clever an accountant you can afford. And we shouldend the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, too. Because people like me don¶t need another tax cut.
So that¶s my approach to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 12 years while protectingthe middle class, keeping our promise to seniors, and securing our investments in our future. Ihope you¶ll check it out for yourself on WhiteHouse.gov. And while you¶re there, you can alsofind what we¶re calling the taxpayer receipt. For the first time ever, there¶s a way for you to seeexactly how and where your tax dollars are spent, and what¶s really at stake in this debate.
Now he believed the PDPA¶s reforms, however ruthlesslyimplemented, had set his country on the right course, specificallythat the revolution would help pull the Afghan people out of illiteracy and poverty. He also believed most of them supported thegovernment¶s efforts. The pivotal Herat uprising in April 1979, hethought, was orchestrated by military officers with ties to Iran, andfar fewer civilians died in the violence than the rebels claimed.

Going forward, Democrats and Republicans in Washington will have our differences, some of them strong. But you expect us to bridge those differences.
You expect us to work together and get this done. And I believe we can. I believe we can livewithin our means and live up to the values we share as Americans. And in the weeks to come,I¶ll work with anyone who¶s willing to get it done.
Thanks for listening. Have a great weekend.
The United States has cooperative programswith Russia to assist with the destruction process. In
addition to cooperative threat reduction programs,Russia is also seeking to engage in joint ventureswith Western chemical and pharmaceutical companies
to generate revenue and to create transparencywithin their legitimate research, development, and
production facilities. Unfortunately, financial hardship
and political instability in Russia do not makeit an attractive place for foreign investment.
