From news reports...

Cut national spending...uh...$14 trillion in debt...cap what we can borrow...uh....we owe countries that hate us so....balance the budget...uh...yeah isn't that how we should live?

And didn't the president say everything should be on the table?

And yet he said he'd veto "Cut, cap and balance" before he even saw it!

Another Obama lie!

Is anyone surprised?

Wow! Finished mowing the orchard!

Irrigation water going. It looks good!

I shoveled a little manure over the wet spots to hold the moisture in...

Mmmmm! Hard work!

Wish my blasted feet were better!

Not one dime!

That's what our president promised when he was on the campaign trail. If you make less than $250,000 per year you could expect "not one dime" in new taxes!

And yet under HR3590 we see:
H.R.3590
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate)

"SEC. 9002. INCLUSION OF COST OF EMPLOYER-SPONSORED HEALTH COVERAGE ON W-2.

(a) In General- Section 6051(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to receipts for employees) is amended by striking `and' at the end of paragraph (12), by striking the period at the end of paragraph (13) and inserting `, and', and by adding after paragraph (13) the following new paragraph:

`(14) the aggregate cost (determined under rules similar to the rules of section 4980B(f)(4)) of applicable employer-sponsored coverage (as defined in section 4980I(d)(1)), except that this paragraph shall not apply to--

`(A) coverage to which paragraphs (11) and (12) apply, or

`(B) the amount of any salary reduction contributions to a flexible spending arrangement (within the meaning of section 125).'.

(b) Effective Date- The amendments made by this section shall apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010."

Hmmm! Why would the government want our insurance benefits listed on our W-2 forms as income?

Oops! Go to www.thomas.gov and enter HR 3590 and see for yourself. This is the website of the Library of Congress.

My mother got a notice in the mail from our electric cooperative saying that if the Cap & Trade bill passed she could expect a $100 surcharge on her bill since part of her electricity comes from a coal-fired power plant.

Not one dime? That IS what he said isn't it?

Now I have a question; since all businesses, large and small, use electricity, what will the Cap & Trade tax do the cost of the items I buy every day?

Not one dime! That's what he said!
