Neolibs claim loudly that ALL of the leading economists actually support this currency devaluing, multi-generational bankrupting pig of bill. As usual, the truth has a conservative bias.

The massive economic-stimulus plans in Congress dramatically lowball the real amount of increased welfare spending - with one estimate predicting it may be more than triple the forecasts, according to a new report. The true welfare cost could be as much as $787 billion, not the $264 billion that supporters have claimed, the study by the conservative Hertitage Foundation found.

Gerrymandering R Us: Census Bureau to Report Directly to White House. More Change? Hope?

Utah lost out on a fourth House seat after the 2000 Census by a few hundred people and argued unsuccessfully all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court that the bureau should have counted Mormon missionaries from Utah serving abroad. That legal fight has made Utah officials wary of the 2010 Census, and news out of the White House that the director of the Census Bureau will work under Emanuel has deepened that concern. "The political land grab is stunning," said freshman Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah. The census "is not intended to be political in any way shape or form. … We're not even 15 days into this administration and they're already working on the next campaign." More>>>

Al Franken Admits $50,000 Tax Debt

Overlooked in coverage of Tim Geithner's and Tom Daschle's unpaid taxes is the $70,000 that Minnesota Democratic senatorial candidate Al Franken has admitted to owing in back taxes, interest, and penalties. Last April, the California Tax Franchise Board revealed that Franken owed the state $5,800 in taxes, fines, and penalties because he did not file returns in 2003 through 2007. Franken then admitted that he owed more than $50,000 in back taxes to 17 states. Franken blamed everything on his accountant of 18 years, saying he failed to report the income from the comedian's celebrity appearances and speeches in those states where he made money outside of Minnesota and New York, where he lives. Franken claimed he overpaid taxes in those two states and will file for refunds. But the accountant, Allen Chanzis, has not verified Franken's account. In fact, he has said he was told not to talk to the press. Nor has Franken released any documentation to show that he overpaid taxes in two states. "I've been told to say 'no comment,'" the accountant told reporters. (I think I've figured out why neoliberal Dems love taxes so much...they don't pay them. -Roland) More>>>
NY Guv: Revenue Shortfall? Tax Fat People

New York Governor David Paterson has proposed a barrage of new “sin taxes” on the people of New York in the compassionate name of saving them from such deadly sins as cigars, wine, beer, malt liquor, sugary soda, music, television, sporting events, jewelry, cars, gasoline, massages, shoes, and income. In a remarkable coincidence, New York’s government is a bit short of money just now. Apparently, nothing can deepen the compassion of a Democrat like a budget deficit. More>>>

AS MANY as 38,000 alien civilisations could exist in our galaxy, all with the potential to make contact with Earth, scientists have claimed. Scottish researchers have predicted there are likely to be at least 361 inhabited planets in the Milky Way, but say there could be more than 100 times that number. More>>> |
