May you find great value in these inspirational Soccer Quotes from my large datebase of inspiring quotes and sayings.
Give your time and efforts freely or not at all.
When you are tempted to say,
"Oh, if I have to, I'll skip my golf game
and watch my daughter play soccer," don't do it.
Either generate the heart-felt emotion
to make the free-will gift,
"I'd love to watch your game today, Sandy,"
or the honesty to decline the request gracefully.
Martyrdom doesn't create happiness
for any of the parties involved.
An honest, "No" is preferable to a coerced "Yes."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
One can not reflect in streaming water.
Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.
- Lao Tzu
Give thanks for the rain in your life
which waters the flowers of your soul.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Our "Rainbows and Butterflies" are the small miracles of our life -
the little things that are so easy to overlook,
yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment
to notice and to pay attention.
Give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all God's creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I have gratitude for EVERYTHING

and the whispered "I love you."

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

BELL COUNTY, Texas -- Human remains have been found during a search for missing Fort Hood soldier Vanessa Guillen.
The Army Criminal Investigation Division issued a statement Tuesday, saying partial human remains were found during a search of an area of interest close to the Leon River in Bell County.
Army CID agents responded to the scene with the Texas Rangers, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the Bell County Sheriff's Office.
The Army said there is no confirmation as to the identity of the remains at this point.
Pfc. Guillen, 20, was last seen around 11:30 am in the parking lot of her Regimental Engineer Squadron Headquarters, 3rd Cavalry Regiment on Fort Hood on April 22.
Full statement:
Due to extensive investigative work conducted by Special Agents from the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, agents have returned to an area of interest close to the Leon River, Bell County, Texas for more investigative work in the search for PFC Vanessa Guillen. After receiving additional information, agents have discovered what has been described as partial human remains after analysis from a forensic anthropologist. Army CID agents are currently on scene with the Texas Rangers, the FBI and Bell County Sheriff's Department. No confirmation as to the identity of the remains has been made at this point and we ask for the media and public's understanding that the identification process can take time.
Due to the ongoing criminal investigation, no further information will be released at this time.

Responsible business
Responsible employer
We strive to be a values-led organisation that attracts, develops and retains the best talent.
Our Values and Code of Conduct
We have a fiduciary duty to our clients as managers of their financial assets. Our commitment to our clients is reflected in our Values and in the Code of Conduct which all employees formally sign, acknowledging how we must always act. We expect to be held accountable to our Values, as set out below, in all we do.
Client focus:
We think strategically and creatively to drive innovation in order to best serve our clients and other stakeholders.
We operate at the highest standards to deliver excellent results and manage risk for our stakeholders and the company.
We are ethical, principled, respectful, collaborative and inclusive. We support our communities.
We actively identify opportunities to improve and are accountable for earning and keeping our stakeholders' trust.
Our Global Code of Conduct includes adherence to specific client-related standards:
- Demonstrating a desire to deliver quality outcomes to clients:
- We strive to deliver outstanding client service through collaboration with others and maximising contributions.
- We are committed to building professional relationships to enable best outcomes.
- Everything we do is for our clients.
- Demonstrating a quality service to clients by effectively managing firm-wide risk:
- We actively consider the client's best interests at all times.
- We recognise that risk management is everyone's responsibility.
- We actively manage conflicts appropriately seeking best results and collaborating effectively for the benefit of our clients. Every employee's performance is measured against our Values of Client Focus, Excellence, Integrity and Respect, with the Values reflected in appraisal and personal development plans, and an explicit link to our annual incentive reward cycle. This ensures we are rewarded not just for what we do, but how we do it.
Ensuring a diverse and inclusive culture
Increasing inclusivity and diversity throughout our employee population is one of our strategic imperatives. Our employee-led Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group has been in place since 2013. Reporting to the CEO and regional Executive Committee, the Group champions best practice to ensure a workplace culture that reflects the diversity of our clients and employees. As a result, the following initiatives are now embedded:
- Education and training, including unconscious bias training for all hiring managers.
- Recruitment guidelines to ensure both male and female representation on candidate lists and advance more qualified women to the interview phase
- For senior hires, at least one woman must be part of the interview panel
- All recruitment, by gender, is reported to the regional Executive Committee each quarter
- Improved flexible working, maternity and paternity policies
- Active promotion of shared parental leave, encouraging male employees to take advantage of the opportunity
- Flexible working arrangements, for example best practice guidelines for working from home
- The ability to purchase additional holidays, supporting more flexible working
- Mentoring to support career progression for more junior and mid-level employees
- Support for and participation in industry-wide returners programmes
- Regular employee events with internal and external speakers to showcase successful, diverse role models.
Gender balance: our path to 50/50
Columbia Threadneedle signed the Women in Finance Charter (WIFC) in March 2016, becoming a founding signatory and the first asset manager to sign the Charter. Since then we have worked to implement changes that drive improved gender balance across our EMEA business. We actively measure gender balance initiatives and report to senior management on a regular basis to ensure we continue to make progress. We have a robust gender action plan based on four strategic pillars of our broader diversity and inclusion blueprint:
- Build inclusive leadership skills of employees through training and awareness.
- Strengthen our pipeline of female leaders with continued focus on development and engagement.
- Maintain focus on recruitment of female talent.
- Leverage community partnerships to engage internal and external stakeholders.
Our key gender data is presented in our KPI table and our annual WIFC progress reports and full gender pay gap reports can be found in the column on the left.
Smart Working
Smart Working is our approach to working flexibly across EMEA. Flexible working has been proven to boost well-being and morale, increase productivity and enhance job satisfaction and retention. Smart Working covers any type of working arrangement that gives some degree of flexibility on how long, where and when work is performed. Flexible working can vary in shape and form, from a formal contractual flexible working pattern to informal, infrequent working arrangements.
Smart Working can allow an individual to pursue a hobby or interest, enable time for school runs or nursery drop-offs, support the ability to care for elderly relatives or simply provide a different work/life balance. We believe employees who can work smartly will be less stressed, feel more valued and trusted by the company and will therefore be more inclined to stay and progress their careers with us over the long-term.
Black Employee Network
In 2019 our Black Employee Network (BEN) was launched. BEN EMEA is a community of Black professionals offering its members resources and strategies to enhance and promote personal and professional growth whilst contributing to our overall success. BEN is an open and inclusive network and its impact and success is dependent on the support and engagement of all employees. BEN has four pillars of focus with initiatives and events designed to deliver:
- Employee engagement and professional development – building business, leadership and networking skills.
- Business support – bringing greater support and awareness to business initiatives across the region.
- Community involvement – supporting and developing partnerships which support the Black community.
- Cultural awareness – building a community among network members and employees and raising awareness of Black culture in the UK.
Attracting, engaging and developing our people
Investment management is a people business and we recognise that our success is due to our talented people who bring diverse and complementary skills and capabilities, working together to identify and develop the best ideas and opportunities for our clients. By creating an inclusive environment that values fresh ideas from a variety of backgrounds, demands input and commends teamwork, we leverage the diverse skills and perspectives of our people to generate our best investment thinking and business results. We are committed to supporting individuals who have taken a career break and are looking to return to the workplace for all our roles.
We support our employees with continuous development opportunities, both specific to their role and in other areas, through our talent development programmes. Our Talent Advisory Group comprises senior managers from across the business and oversees the career development of our employees, ensuring they are given the training, opportunities and tools they need, within the right culture, to excel. We have fostered a culture of idea sharing, collaboration and debate that is an integral part of our highly successful investment process and our success as a business. This is underpinned by our values of Client focus, Excellence, Integrity and Respect. We strive to deliver the best outcomes for our stakeholders and in our most recent employee engagement survey 89% said 'In my department, we are committed to exceeding our client/business partner expectations'.
Health and wellbeing
We are committed to supporting our employees' health and wellbeing, including physical and mental health. In addition to regular health screening and a dedicated employee assistance programme, initiatives include:
- Mandatory health and safety training, highlighting health and safety at work as well as mitigating actions employees can take to prevent excessive stress and other common mental health issues
- Weekly mindfulness and meditation sessions open to all employees
- Lunchtime workshops to promote the medical and wellness support on offer through our benefits programme
- "Lunch and learn" sessions highlighting the importance of mental health in families and providing tools that parents can use to help children through difficult situations
Employee volunteering
Around the world, employees of Ameriprise Financial including Columbia Threadneedle, generously donate their time and talents to volunteer service. In EMEA, employees are entitled to take at least one day for volunteering, with a full calendar of activities offered. We look for opportunities where the talent and professional expertise of our people can add support through skills-based and other volunteering projects, and where employees have the chance to develop new skills and network within the business, and for teams to collaborate more effectively across departments.
In 2019 over 300 Columbia Threadneedle employees volunteered, working with a wide range of charities and community organisations:
- Preparing hot meals for the homeless with Ace of Clubs.
- Planting more than 400 trees in London with Trees for Cities.
- Hosting fun-packed activity days with Manorfield Primary School learning about teamwork and enterprise.
- Organising sports days for teenagers with Access Sport including BMX cycling and hockey games in Olympic Park.
- Supporting over 250 under-11s to learn how to code with the Institute of Imagination.
- Providing much needed maintenance and gardening support for Thrive and Stepney City Farm
For more information about volunteering see Columbia Threadneedle Foundation.

Trusts are generally created when one person or firm manages assets for the benefit of…
What is A Will Contest?
When a loved one dies with a will, their will lays out who shall receive their property, and which person (called the executor) will be in charge of settling the estate. For many reasons, beneficiaries can feel slighted by what they did or didn't receive, and some individuals are entirely excluded from inheriting anything at all. The legal process of challenging the validity of a will is called a will contest (or "contesting the will").
Once probate is underway, the named executor will take the necessary steps to complete probate and notify beneficiaries named in the will. This legal notice typically limits the time when a beneficiary can contest the validity of the will. Generally, a beneficiary (and even a person not named in the will) has thirty to ninety days to bring legal action against the decedent's will.
Know that the vast majority of wills pass through probate without issue. The courts rightly view the will like the author's (testator), last voice. Because the testator can no longer speak to their wishes, the courts try to adhere to the legally filed will stringently. Because of the narrow timeline for filing a will contest and the odds stacked against winning the legal challenge, most challengers will find it a fruitless and costly endeavor.
Under what circumstances then would you want to contest a will? Legally, only a person or entity with "standing" can contest a will. Standing is when the party involved in the will contest will be personally affected by the case's outcome. Most often, this means an heir or beneficiary already named in the decedent's last will or any preceding will. It may also include any person (usually a spouse or child) not named in the will, but because of state intestacy laws would be eligible to inherit in the absence of a will. Typically, four grounds are viable for contesting a will:
- The will's signing lacked the proper legal formalities
- The mental capacity of the decedent to make a will is in question
- Someone leveraging undue influence over the decedent into making or changing a will
- The will's procurement is fraudulent
Certain fact patterns may lead to a successful will contest. As an example, if a testator writes their own will, some legal formalities may be overlooked, rendering the will invalid. In particular, the "do it yourself" method for creating a will may not include all of the "what if" scenarios making the will incomplete. In another example, if the testator is experiencing isolation from family and friends, the primary beneficiary's influence and motives regarding the estate may come into question. If the executor is trying to enforce an outdated will, the newer one should supersede the older one as long as no coercion was involved in writing the most recent version. Finally, some medical evidence may suggest the testator lacked the requisite mental ability to make a will. Occasionally the challenger to an existing will can negotiate a settlement with the estate instead of enduring a court proceeding.
Some wills include a no-contest clause, also called an "in terrorem" clause. This provision states that if anyone files a lawsuit challenging the will's validity, they will receive nothing from the estate. While this may a powerful deterrent, it may not be allowed in the state where the will is probated.
To protect your will from being contested, even if you have limited assets, your best strategy is to have your will professionally drafted by an attorney well versed in estate planning. Using an attorney can help protect you and your estate from future legal challenges while helping you think through who you want to inherit your money and property, and how each person should receive what they inherit.
If you would like to discuss whether a will is appropriate for you or whether you should update an existing will, we would be happy to speak to you at your convenience. We hope you found this article helpful. Please contact our Albany office today at (518) 452-6979 and schedule a free consultation to discuss your legal matters.

We are using MongoDB at IPONWEB for quite long time - for ~2 years already for a number of high loaded projects. Our company specializes at creating products for display advertising and mostly we are using MongoDB to keep track of user data in our adservers. The main reason we are using MongoDB is raw performance. We are using MongoDB mostly as dumb NoSQL key-value database where we try to keep data fully cached in RAM. With rare exceptions we are not using any fancy features like complex queries, map-reduce and so on but rather limit ourselves to queries by a primary key. We do use sharding because as I mentioned above we have to put whole database to RAM so we often have to split database across multiple servers. Generally we are very price sensitive about costs of the installation so we are always looking at reducing hardware costs for our databases. Giving this background the following limitations in MongoDB implementation cause us the most grief:
a) lack of online database defragmentation in MongoDB. Currently the only way to compact MongoDB database is to stop the database and run compact or repair. On our datasets this process runs for considerable time. We do have to defragment database pretty often to keep RAM usage under control. Fragmented vs non-fragmented database can be easily be two times bigger what in our case means two time higher hardware costs.
b) realistically for our use case we can do MongoDB resharding only offline. Adserving is extremely sensitive to any latencies and if we add more shards to existing cluster we more or less forced to take the application offline until resharding finishes.
c) lack of good support of SSD. The way MongoDB works now switching from using more RAM with HDD as backing storage in favor of using less RAM with SSD backing storage doesn't seem to be cost effective. SSD if priced per 1GB is roughly two times cheaper then RAM but if we place our data on SSD we have to reserve at least two more time space on SSD if we want to be able to run repair on the data (this is because running repair requires two times more space). Other reason we considered using SSD as backing storage instead of HDD is write performance in some applications where it was a limitation. But from our limited benchmarking we found small performance difference because it looks like single thread write lock in MongoDB becomes a bottleneck rather then underlying storage.
d) minor point: underlying networking protocol could be more efficient with some optimizations. If you send many small queries and get small documents as result MongoDB creates separate TCP packets for each request/response. Under high load especially in case of virtualized hardware (i.e. EC2) this introduces additional high overhead. We have our own client driver which tries to pack multiple requests in single TCP packets and it makes noticeable difference in performance on EC2. But this is a partial solution because responses from MongoDB and communications between mongos and mongod are still inefficient.
e) another minor point: BSON format is very wasteful in terms of memory usage. Giving that we try to minimize our database sizes to reduce hardware costs the recent trend in our use of MongoDB is instead of representing data as BSON document do serialization to some more compact format and instead store our data as big binary blobs (i.e. to simplify our documents look like { _id = '....', data = '... serialized data ...'}
By the way at some point we evaluated switching to CitrusLeaf. This product supposedly addresses some of the above issues (mostly a, b and c) but it seems that expected savings in hardware costs would be offset by licensing costs so at least for now we are not going to.

Chard & Chickpeas with Feta ♥
Enter this easy-to-prepare, adaptable and tasty vegetarian supper. The greens (essentially Greek Greens) could even be cooked a day or two in advance, making supper itself a real snap.
NEXT TIME I'll add lemon zest, maybe some roasted pepper, hmm, red maybe or maybe poblano. I might also saute the stems to toss in, maybe more onion and oh, say, some leftover rotisserie chicken. This is also a great way to use up odds and ends of leftover vegetables at the end of the week, whatever's on hand. It's a great 'concept recipe'.
CALORIE NOTES Again and again I'm surprised by how many calories live in those diet-tasting chickpeas. So if you're counting Weight Watchers points, be careful with portion size. It's another good reason to bulk up with more vegetables.
FROM THE ARCHIVES See the Recipe Box for other Vegetarian Supper recipes.
A YEAR AGO THIS WEEK Garlicky Romano Beans, I remade these a few weeks ago with regular green beans and they were just as gorgeous
CHARD & CHICKPEAS with FETA
Time to table: 50 minutes
Serves 4
Large pot of salted water
1 pound Swiss chard [the inspiring recipe called for 3 pounds, since cleaning/chopping the greens takes the bulk of the prep time, this will greatly affect the timing]
29-ounce can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained [the inspiring recipe used 19 ounces]
1 tablespoon olive oil [the inspiring recipe used 4 tablespoons, completely unnecessary]
4 green onions, chopped
[1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped] - included in the inspiring recipe
4 garlic cloves, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Preheat oven to 400F. Bring the water to a boil. Wash the greens well, fold in half and slice out and reserve the stems for another use. Drop the greens into the boiling water, cover and cook for 4 minutes or until soft. Drain, squeeze dry and chop.
In a large bowl, mix the chickpeas, onion, garlic and chopped greens. Transfer to a greased oven-safe dish. Top with feta, pressing into the greens. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until sizzling hot. Serve immediately.

Yesterday's successful landing of Atlantis at the Kennedy Space Center marked the end of the 30-year space shuttle program and the beginning of a period of some uncertainty for NASA's human spaceflight program. That milestone would appear to be another opportunity for critics of the Obama Administration's space policy in Congress and elsewhere to voice their concerns and complaints. Yet, with a few notable exceptions, most instead used the opportunity to praise the agency and the thousands of people who worked on the shuttle program.
Rep. Sandy Adams (R-FL), whose district includes KSC, noted with "great sadness" the final shuttle landing, but also said it was a time to look forward, adding she was "elated" when a Florida organization was selected last week to manage research on the ISS. In a neighboring district, Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) called yesterday a "historic, but bittersweet day", using his statement to laud the program and those who worked on it. Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX), whose district includes the Johnson Space Center, recognized those who worked on the shuttle program while adding that America "will need your expertise and skills to take us to the next level of human space exploration." Another Houston-area member, Rep. John Culberson (R-TX), acknowledged the "uncertain future of the program" but said that "Houston is destined to build on its legacy of exploration and discovery." Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said "Texans should take pride" in their work on the shuttle program; in a longer op-ed in the Houston Chronicle, he does express concern about the NASA and the administration's slow movement on the Space Launch System, but adds, "Leveraging the potential of the private sector will be a key to closing the new space gap between America and our international rivals."
Some, were a bit more critical of the administration's policy. George LeMieux, who spent a year and a half in the Senate serving out the remainder of Mel Martinez's term and is now seeking the Republican nomination to run against Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), came out against Nelson and the administration Thursday in a speech in Lakeland, Florida, saying he would push for "greater direction and greater emphasis" on space if he returns to the Senate. "There was a mood among my colleagues when I was in the Senate, to do more. I am certain there is wasteful spending where the money could go to the space program instead. Sen. Nelson should have held the president accountable (for continuing a strong space program)," he said, according to a report by the Lakeland Ledger. LeMieux previously claimed that Sen. Nelson "allows 23,000 space jobs to die".
LeMieux's comments, though, were mild compared to those made by Texas governor Rick Perry. In a press release from his office, he came out swinging against the White House. "The Obama Administration continues to lead federal agencies and programs astray, this time forcing NASA away from its original purpose of space exploration, and ignoring its groundbreaking past and enormous future potential," he stated, not mentioning exactly how the administration was redirecting NASA. "Unfortunately, with the final landing of the Shuttle Atlantis and no indication of plans for future missions, this administration has set a significantly different milestone by shutting down our nation's legacy of leadership in human spaceflight and exploration, leaving American astronauts with no alternative but to hitchhike into space." Perry doesn't note that this need to "hitchhike" can be traced back to the original Vision for Space Exploration by President George W. Bush, which directed the shuttle's retirement by 2010 and a successor vehicle by 2014; the gap was a major issue long before the current administration took office. Perry's comments carry particular import because, in addition to being governor of a state with a significant NASA presence, he is reportedly considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
The end of the shuttle program and the expected losses of thousands of jobs came up at Thursday's White House press briefing. The administration's NASA policy, press secretary Jay Carney said in response to a question, "means more jobs for the country, more American astronauts in space over the next decade and more investments in innovation relative to the prior administration's plan," adding on more than one occasion that this policy has "bipartisan support" in Congress. The president, Carney added, "looks forward to NASA's future and moving forward with space exploration in the future" and has "tremendous regard for the program and for all the folks at NASA who participated in making it such a tremendous success."
In an interview Thursday with Bloomberg TV, NASA administrator Charles Bolden also acknowledged the Bush Administration's space policy. "I really applaud the Bush Administration for the decision to migrate from shuttle, phase it out in an orderly fashion, which is what we just completed today," he said about five minutes into the interview. "If I had a criticism of them, and the Congress, it would be that together they did not adequately fund the space program to be able to bring about a viable exploration program for beyond low Earth orbit and certainly did almost nothing to help us facilitate the success of commercial entities. That's an area where President Obama has stepped forward, where no one did that since the beginning of NASA."

Romney VP Might Take Budget Out of Election
The story is that Republicans want and need the federal budget to be a big campaign issue in the presidential election. The Republican hierarchy supposedly thinks the president is very vulnerable on the issue and that talking about the deficit and national debt will appeal to the GOP's tea party wing.
There's also a good deal of concern that the party's base will decide that presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is downplaying the importance of the federal budget if it's not one of his big campaign issues and that it will abandon him if he does. Much like the first-term Republican House Members have done during the past two years whenever the leadership strayed from what they thought should be done on the budget, this would cause the tea partyers to be openly critical of their presidential candidate.
No one thinks they'll vote Democratic instead of Republican. Instead, the concern is that the tea party wing won't vote for anyone for president and will skip directly to the Congressional races on the ballot or, even worse, stay home on Election Day.
Making the federal budget into a central campaign issue almost necessitates having a vice presidential candidate with excellent budget credentials, someone whose selection signals that, rather than abandoning the issue, Romney and the GOP are doubling down and making it a cornerstone of the campaign.
That would make the vice presidential nominee someone who can talk with authority about the deficit and debt and be the campaign's primary spokesperson on the issue. It would also be someone who has few negatives when it comes to the budget and therefore strengthens the campaign's position rather than creates questions about its credentials.
But those who want or expect the federal budget to be a big issue in the 2012 presidential election might be extremely disappointed. Three of the biggest names supposedly being considered to be Romney's running mate – including two who are considered to have the best fiscal policy credentials – not only will make it much harder for Republicans to criticize the president on deficits or debt, but could provide the Obama campaign with the ability to do what up to now has seemed to be impossible: make the Republican ticket extremely vulnerable on the budget.
As the saying about so much that happens in politics goes, anyone who actually knows who's being seriously considered isn't talking, and anyone who's talking doesn't actually know. But based on all of the reports and speculation, three names keep being mentioned as being at the top of Romney's vice presidential list, and all three will cause big headaches for the GOP on the budget.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has no direct experience with the federal budget, and that could make him the best of the three when it comes to making the deficit and debt a focus of the campaign.
But back in 2011, when Pawlenty was running for the Republican presidential nomination, he repeatedly demonstrated that his understanding of the federal budget and ability to discuss it beyond anything but talking points was almost nonexistent. More important, however, is that Pawlenty will be vulnerable because, as governor, he consistently welcomed federal spending in his state and relied on it to balance his own budget.
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman would create an even bigger budget problem for Romney. Portman uses his experience as director of the Office of Management and Budget during the George W. Bush administration as a credential for the vice presidency, and many cite his serving in that job as one of the main reasons he should be on the ticket.
But Portman was OMB director for only 13 months – from May 2006 to June 2007 – and prepared only one budget, for fiscal 2008. That year's deficit ended up being 267 percent higher than the year before.
Portman's bigger problem will be that having him as a running mate will force Romney and all other Republican candidates to defend the dismal overall Bush record on the budget, which changed the four consecutive surpluses under a Democratic president (and Republican Congress) to eight consecutive and growing deficits under a Republican. At the very least, that will neutralize the message that Republicans are good for the deficit while President Barack Obama and Democrats are bad.
Some believe House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (Wis.) would be the perfect candidate to raise the budget issue in the campaign. After all, his budgets were right on the mark as far as tea party talking points are concerned, with big cuts in spending and reductions in taxes.
But Ryan and his budgets will be extremely vulnerable in a campaign because they include significant changes in Medicare. In case anyone has forgotten, Medicare is such a political hot potato that it has successfully been used in recent elections by Democrats to criticize Republicans and by Republicans to criticize Democrats. Polls show that even tea party supporters don't want Medicare spending reduced.
Having Ryan on the ticket will allow the debate to be changed from what the GOP wants to talk about – the budget – to what Democrats will quickly say is the Romney/Ryan effort to kill Medicare. To say the least, that would put the Republican ticket on the defensive.
This could well mean that Romney's best choice for making the budget into an issue in the campaign will be to select a running mate who has no budget credentials at all.
