For reasons that are beyond me I not motivated to work on my taxes. Considering the fine job our chief tax cheat Secretary of the Treasury is doing, the motivation provided by Sen Daschle and the leadership shown by the administration on simulating the economy I can’t see why.
Update: This might have something to do with it too.
Update 2: Nobody’s Perfect? Are these guys that lame?
Last week Fox reported that the president was going to cut defense 10%.
Today Congressional quarterly says that instead he will be increasing defense 8%.
Somebody has it wrong unless we are talking about cutting the rate of growth. Economic problems or no I wouldn’t be too fired up to cut war spending. Economic cycles come and go, but you can’t unlose a war.
UPDATE: Max Boot sees the -10
Joe is back and hitting with all cylinders on the bill.
6:40 a.m. Mika reads Frank Rich strip saying that the Republicans are as clueless as Bush on Katrina. Bad timing for that example Frank.
6:44 a.m. Out comes the Obamameter and a promise broken rating on sunlight before signing, no word on rendition yet.
6:46 a.m. Mika face when asking how birth control fits on stimulus really is funny
7:07 a.m. Joe & Mika are agreeing on tax credits for people who don’t pay taxes. They’re again’em.
7:14 a.m. It’s up to Max Baucus on Tommy the tax boy. If he decides to let it go God help the democrats in 2010.
7:45 a.m. Mika is going through the list with Crammer they are really hitting this.
7:48 a.m. Aren’t lower house prices good for people to buy houses?
7:58 a.m. Podesta says Daschle will and should survive. Americans should hope it isn’t true, Parisian republicans hope it is.
7:59 a.m. Question we are giving tax breaks to people who don’t pay taxes: Podesta: “They pay other taxes. The Earned Income Credit was a Reagan creation.” This is the new talking point apparently.
8:02 a.m. Is the president willing to change the bill to attract Republicans? He is willing to talk but won’t make changes in fundamentals of the bill.
8:07 a.m. Crammer: Anything you do on energy is a joke without a Gas tax, Mika agrees. The very suggestion gives me gas.
8:15 a.m. It hits me that this is likely one of the only challenging interviews that Podesta is going to see outside of Fox.
8:41 a.m. Erin Burnett is pointing out that Japan did this stuff and it didn’t work
8:56 a.m. Mika promises more on the bill on the radio, I’ll be listening.
….so busy that in Massachusetts they have extended the hours for telefile.
