We will not tire, we will not falter, we will not fail
Hope your weekend was enjoyable and productive, and you're ready for the week ahead!
Let's hope the news stories which reflect in some measure our national interests move away from Paris What's-her-name!
Where in the world are you (I haven’t been keeping up in ATRW lately)??
Are you in the US???
Hubbard Says No New Taxes [Larry Kudlow]
Senior White House economic advisor Al Hubbard threw cold water over any and all tax hikes in our interview on Kudlow & Company last night.
Hubbard made it crystal clear that President Bush would pull out his veto pen on any tax hike proposals coming across his desk.
He said, “The one thing you know about this president, Larry, is he’s a tax cutter, not a tax raiser. This president's never going to support an increase in taxes.”
This includes former Clinton Treasury secretary Robert Rubin’s tax on private equity and hedge fund managers that would more than double the capital gains tax for them. Rubin by the way, is itching for a hike in the cap gains rate for everybody, telling a conference in Washington earlier this week that Bush’s capital gains tax cut hasn’t contributed “one iota” to the economy.
Hubbard also made it clear that the president would veto the Democratic House’s proposal to levy a 4.3 percent surtax on high-income earners, allegedly designed to solve the AMT problem. (The definition of “high-income” remains ambiguous—some in Congress say it could be $500,000, while others say it could hit earners making $75,000.)
Hubbard said he “absolutely” disagrees with Rubin’s tax hike proposals and added that the president was “totally opposed” to raising taxes.
He made it clear that the top priority should be to extend and maintain the Bush tax cuts which have stimulated the economy, created over 8 million jobs, raised stock market asset values, and launched a revenue avalanche of tax collections as the budget deficit continues to evaporate.
I am. I am south of you.
Thank you from all of us who are and, who were....
I see tht the dims have a head to hang on their wall, scooty libbey’s, they should be soooooo proud.
Yanks ahead 4-1 top of the 7th.
Good afternoon, Toby.
Ahead 7-1 bottom 7th...1 out..1 on 1st.
Inning over AZ up. Pettite still pitching.
Good afternoon, Molly.A beautiful day here also. A bit warm for me though, 90 degrees. But I am enjoying looking at my beautiful gardens with the rose arbor blooming, daisies, annuals...all from the comfort of my air conditioned home.
Jemian - I meant to comment yesterday on your flight home on Northwest. That’s the only airline I will fly to Europe as it direct from Mpls. I don’t like connecting flights in NY. Although the first time we went to Germany we flew Luthansa out of Chicago and got bumped up to business class and, my, was that nice. Spoiled me for the steerage flights thereafter.
My daughter-in-law, who works for an international company, is going to take a business trip in July to London, Darmstadt and Paris and gets to fly on the corporate jet. Now that’s comfort! Cushy chairs, couches, etc.
Hope you all have a nice day.
One strike away from a sweep....
only 8 1/2 behind the RedSux. Hopefully that will change again tonite.
Hi Toby - prayers for JT’s great grandmother. Such a troubled family and that little boy is so fortunate to have your family adopt him and give him all the love he needs.
Yup! Great that Pettite finished. I like that.
Subway series tomorrow.
I am now the proud owner of yet ANOTHER smoker...LOL.
IF (and that’s a BIG IF) I can budget right, I am going to try to do 4 racks of ribs and 2 chickens and maybe try some fresh corn on the cob on Sunday
You must try smoking a turkey. Greg does that often...very good , but no gravy! :-(
Oh and he has smoked Italian sausage...not bad..not bad at all.
Amazing. I use to smoke cigars....
I’ve never been out of steerage and it is “spoiled” for me.
Hear me good, this war with the radicals is not for territory, it is to defeat America and then we will be given a choice, become a Muslim or die, only once will they ask too. This is a hell of lot more serious than the information we get, call it ‘dead serious’. Not asking us as a nation but one on one. Wake up America, wake up, oh, Reid? SHUT UP!!!
You home? must have missed that one. Your family OK? I gotta say, you all are so important to so many.
