I don't need to make any attempts whatsoever to remove my bias. My bias is actually the point. And if you don't like the point I am making then don't read the articles. Its pretty simple.

I did not put words into the mouth of the CBO official. I reported an analysis of the GOP plan from a Democratic source who provided a rationale for the figures.<BR/><BR/>The country is in an economic bind. People are saving when spending is what is needed to provide more jobs. People would be idiots if they went on a spending spree in the current situation, but the fact remains that as savings increase, corporate profits decrease.<BR/><BR/>Some sort of a stimulus is required. I don't trust government which didn't do oversight well or corporations headed by people who feel that they are entitled to bonuses despite their companies earnings crashing.<BR/><BR/>I am left to decide who is offering the best plan in a bad set of circumstances. I am less willing to believe the "plan" put forth by someone who says that an opposing viewpoint is bias without at least presenting any information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-66924244826413170682009-02-02T16:45:00.000-05:002009-02-02T16:45:00.000-05:00Your obvious bias should serve you will in career ...Your obvious bias should serve you will in career in Criminal Justice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-30836534162581866432009-02-02T16:02:00.000-05:002009-02-02T16:02:00.000-05:00According to Dems on the House Ways and Means Comm...According to Dems on the House Ways and Means Committee who have crunched the numbers, the GOP plan, which would reduce income taxes, would as a result shove millions over on to the Alternative Income Tax rate, which would be higher for them. Dem Ways and Means spokesperson Matthew Beck emailed this statement making the case:<BR/><BR/> In 2008, 4.2 million Americans had to pay the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The Republican proposal would lower marginal tax rates for individuals, but would not reduce AMT rates. Current law requires you to pay the greater of the two rates, so many of those receiving this lower marginal rate would now be held liable for the AMT.<BR/><BR/> There is no question that Congress needs to — and will — act to prevent the number of taxpayers hit by the AMT from growing to an estimated 26 million this year. However, we confirmed with the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation that 26 million people would still be forced to pay the AMT this year under the GOP bill. Essentially, their tax bill would give with one hand and take away with the other, leaving 26 million families without the tax cut they promised in their bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-15821607719808197962009-02-02T15:54:00.000-05:002009-02-02T15:54:00.000-05:00Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated in its Ja...Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated in its January 26 cost estimate of H.R. 1, the House version of the bill: "CBO anticipates that implementation of H.R. 1 would have a noticeable impact on economic growth and employment in the next few years." Further, in his January 27 written testimony before the House Committee on the Budget, CBO director Douglas Elmendorf said that H.R. 1 would "provide massive fiscal stimulus that includes a combination of government spending increases and revenue reductions." Elmendorf also stated: "In CBO's judgment, H.R. 1 would provide a substantial boost to economic activity over the next several years relative to what would occur without any legislation."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-18388508418507847642009-02-02T08:51:00.000-05:002009-02-02T08:51:00.000-05:00oh. and you forgot to mention, encouraging unions ...oh. and you forgot to mention, encouraging unions during one of our worst economic situations since Jimmy Carter...to STRIKE.....<BR/><BR/>So lets recap...<BR/><BR/>Kill more babies<BR/>Make America less competitive<BR/>Go on Arab station<BR/>Encourage terrorist(Iran)<BR/>Set a bad Example with Taxes<BR/><BR/>still to come <BR/>Abandon Israel<BR/>Return east Germany to Russia<BR/>Throw Poland under the Bus<BR/><BR/>The 4 horsemen do what?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
