I have an idea thats thinking WAY out of the box........WHY NOT DO THIS, "dont build "it" or give "it" away unless we have "it" left over after everything else is paid!!!! Kinda like tax payers have to do with their pay checks each week/month.

Perhaps they might consider cutting some of those "overseas factfinding missions"; but I am sure that would never be considered...After all, the Governor of North Carolina would never consider such a thing; he would just raise taxes. It is an American Tradition.

Hold on, not EVERYBODY is willing to pay the federal taxes...

From The Rocky Mountain News:

The committee hosting the Democratic National Convention is using the city's gas pumps to fill up on fuel, avoiding state and federal highway taxes, officials said today.

"There's something there that just doesn't seem right to me because, in a sense, you're saying then that the officials who pass the laws are not willing to live by them, and that concerns me," Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz said.

"I am just troubled by not having the payment of taxes for what I consider to be a privately funded party, and that's what the host committee is: it's a private organization," [Faatz] said.

"The DNC is not government..." Faatz added. "They are [a] political part[y] and they are putting on a huge party, and that is not providing services to each and every citizen each day."

Thanks for posting that about the DNC host committee.

I think it speaks volumes of the quality and character of the Democratic party's leadership.

What's good for the goose apparently isn't so good for the gander, eh?

Oil down, dollar up... because markets work!

With the President lifting the executive order against drilling off-shore and with the surge in popular support for drilling and with the prospect of getting to US oil shale on the horizon, speculators see SUPPLY increasing, DOMESTIC PRODUCTION aiding the US economy and consequently OIL PRICES DROPPED.

This trend will only continue if the Dem leadership let these things happen. As I noted in another thread, there are enough votes in both chambers (filibuster-proof) to allow drilling, but the Dem leadership will not allow a vote.

Pelosi, Reid, Byrd and Obama don't want the will of the people and of Congress to happen because their power is linked to two prongs: a failing US economy and support from the wacko-leftist environmentalists (read: special interests).
