Quickies

• GDP growth almost doubled in Q3.

• Euro leaders reach a debt deal.

• Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) says America is the land of upward mobility especially when compared to Europe.  Of course he's dead wrong on that.  

• According to this chart, my tax liability under Rick Perry's new plan, would decrease by about $2,000.

• According to the same chart, people who make much less than me and have families will see their tax liability go up under Perry's plan.  Kind of puts me in a dilemma.
