GE: 7,000 tax returns, $0 U.S. tax bill - Apr. 16, 2010:
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- General Electric filed more than 7,000 income tax returns in hundreds of global jurisdictions last year, but when push came to shove, the company owed the U.S. government a whopping bill of $0.
How'd it pull off that trick? By losing lots of money."

American Thinker: Obama's Quiet War on Red States
American Thinker: Obama's Quiet War on Red States:
There's an element of score-settling to Mr. Obama's big-governmentism. Blue-state liberals and their Washington allies must chafe at the affront red states pose to the blue states' enlightened liberalism. Big-government states should be so much better off than smaller-government states. Yet it's blue states, not red states, which are suffering decades-old decline and an economic descent marked by steady population loss and abandonment by commerce and industry."

Reuters AlertNet - US Senate climate bill to be unveiled April 26
Even though it will have a terrible impact on business...especially manufacturing....they go dancing hand in hand to "show the rest of the World" just how "good" we are.....
Well, what about the people who voted for YOU!
What about their economic futures???? DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HEAR US??????ANYONE?????
Reuters AlertNet - US Senate climate bill to be unveiled April 26:
WASHINGTON, April 15 (Reuters) - A long-awaited compromise bill to reduce U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for global warming will be unveiled by a group of senators on April 26, sources said on Thursday.
The legislative language to be sketched out in 11 days, according to government and environmental sources, is being drafted by Democratic Senator John Kerry, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and independent Senator Joseph Lieberman.
Backers of the environmental bill hope the unveiling will pave the way for the full Senate to debate and pass a measure in June or July if the compromise attracts enough support from a group of moderate Republicans and Democrats."

American under ObamaCare, Day 22: Doctor says Obamacare will force him to close shop - America under ObamaCare:
While it may be years before most Americans feel the impact of President Obama's health-care bill, a few patients in Scottsdale, Ariz., got a small taste of life under Obamacare last week when they arrived at their Dermatologist's office only to see a sign with the following taped to the front door:
'If you voted for Obamacare, be aware these doors will close before it goes into effect.' The note is signed Joseph M. Scherzer M.D. and includes the following addendum: '****Unless Congress or the Courts repeal the BILL.'"

Obama Bill: PAST DUE!!!
This is a bill for your share of U.S. debt thanks to the reckless spending of the Obama Administration. To avoid additional fees and penalties, pay the balance by the due date."

Climate Change Fraud - Because the debate is not over:
A key piece of evidence in climate change science was slammed as “exaggerated” on Wednesday by the UK’s leading statistician, in a vindication of claims that global warming sceptics have been making for years.
Professor David Hand, president of the Royal Statistical Society, said that a graph shaped like an ice hockey stick that has been used to represent the recent rise in global temperatures had been compiled using “inappropriate” methods."

The reason for the scramble is the TAX BOONDOGGLE "named" Cap and Trade. It does NOTHING for the environment. It does everything - everything it can to hit your wallets AND kill Manufacturing. It's just another revenue stream....It will affect the way we live - the quality of our lives! Hey - check out trying to sell your home after Cap and Trade passes.....go ahead....you are IN for a shock!
American Thinker: ClimateGate Whitewash:
There is now a desperate effort afoot by assorted climate alarmists to explain away the revelations of the incriminating e-mails leaked last year from the University of East Anglia (UEA). A concerted whitewash campaign is in full swing to save the IPCC and its questionable conclusion that the warming of the last thirty years is anthropogenic. But ongoing investigations so far have avoided the real issue, namely whether the reported warming is genuine or a manufactured result by scientists in England and the United States who manipulated temperature data."

It's that joyous time of year: income tax time. So I spend time with my accountant. I don't want to see him, but I must. I could not do what he's doing. The tax code has grown so complex that today most Americans hire someone to do their taxes.
For the money I pay my accountant, I could get a hundred massages. I could buy a fancy motorcycle. I could take a cruise ship to Venice and back.
Better yet, I could do some good in the world. I could pay for two Habitat for Humanity homes or help three kids escape government schools by paying their tuition at a good Catholic school.
What a shame that I pay my accountant instead."

“The first test will be at the ballot box in November,” she said, calling on Tea Partiers to get out the vote."

Obama's disregard for media reaches new heights at nuclear summit
Not that I don't have a great disdain for the drive-by media and think perhaps turn-about is fair play....but this is Strike Two with the press in less than a week.....from a man married to the Press...anyone else find this a tad....odd?
Obama's disregard for media reaches new heights at nuclear summit:
World leaders arriving in Washington for President Obama's Nuclear Security Summit must have felt for a moment that they had instead been transported to Soviet-era Moscow.
They entered a capital that had become a military encampment, with camo-wearing military police in Humvees and enough Army vehicles to make it look like a May Day parade on New York Avenue, where a bicyclist was killed Monday by a National Guard truck.
In the middle of it all was Obama -- occupant of an office once informally known as 'leader of the free world' -- putting on a clinic for some of the world's greatest dictators in how to circumvent a free press."

Reporting from Washington
Public outrage over double-digit rate hikes for health insurance may have helped push President Obama's healthcare overhaul across the finish line, but the new law does not give regulators the power to block similar increases in the future.
And now, with some major companies already moving to boost premiums and others poised to follow suit, millions of Americans may feel an unexpected jolt in the pocketbook."

The new federal health-care law has raised the stakes for hospitals and schools already scrambling to train more doctors.
Experts warn there won't be enough doctors to treat the millions of people newly insured under the law. At current graduation and training rates, the nation could face a shortage of as many as 150,000 doctors in the next 15 years, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges."

Of course, this is merely an example the Dems' applying Alinsky's Rules for Radicals , in this case...
'The enemy properly goaded and guided will be your major strength.'"

Congress sees no budget rush - Jonathan Allen - POLITICO.com:
Congress is poised to miss its April 15 deadline for finishing next year’s budget without even considering a draft in either chamber.
Unlike citizens’ tax-filing deadline, Congress’s mid-April benchmark is nonbinding. And members seem to be in no rush to get the process going.
Indeed, some Democratic insiders suspect that leaders will skip the budget process altogether this year — a way to avoid the political unpleasantness of voting on spending, deficits and taxes in an election year — or simply go through a few of the motions, without any real effort to complete the work."

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama quietly breached years of protocol on Saturday morning by leaving the White House without the press with him.
About two hours before reporters were supposed to be in position to leave with the president, Obama left the grounds of the White House. Members of the press were told he was attending one of his daughter's soccer games in northwest Washington, D.C."
