Having gone through the process of ensuring that The Sailor can vote, I found out that there is another easy way to ensure that our military can receive their ballots. If you are stressing out trying to figure out how to get an application, you can click on the Sample to find out how to do it.

You will need to open up the ballot with Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't know how to open up .pdf files, don't worry. You can easily visit their site to get a free installation of Adobe's Acrobat reader.

We must all work together to ensure that our Troops have the right to vote. This is the least we can do for them. If you know anyone overseas or stationed away from their "home of records", please send them this link. It is important.

June '04 US Budget surplus $19 billion higher than $16 billion Wall Street expected

http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/27358.htm

By LAWRENCE KUDLOW

July 18, 2004 -- IF it's not bad enough that rapid economic recovery has neutered Sen. John Kerry's principal domestic criticism of President Bush, now comes even worse news for the Democratic campaign: The budget deficit is starting to substantially shrink.
The latest budget numbers show a $19.1 billion surplus for June, $3 billion higher than the $16 billion Wall Street expectation. It seems that a flood of new tax collections, spurred by fatter employment payrolls and corporate profits, is rapidly reducing the federal budget gap. Tax receipts from businesses rose an astonishing 38 percent over the past 12 months, and personal income-tax collections increased almost 9 percent.

What's happening? Could it be that stronger economic growth from lower tax rates is producing more tax receipts? I believe it's called . . . supply-side economics.

Just as the 1.5 million new jobs created since last August has terminated talk of a jobless recovery, the chatter over widening budget deficits will end. The fiscal-year 2004 budget deficit now looks to come in around $435 billion, less than 4 percent of GDP. This would be almost $100 billion below estimates early in the year from the Office of Management and Budget and about $50 billion less than Congressional Budget Office forecasts.

The administration is also getting its arms around federal spending. Fiscal year to date, growth in spending on domestic discretionary programs has slowed to 2.7 percent from 6.8 percent a year ago.

As the tax-cut-led recovery continues, deficits will rapidly wane over the coming years.

Former Clinton economic officials Robert Rubin, Gene Sperling and Bowman Cutter — all now advising Kerry — continue to obsess over the alleged economic consequences of budget deficits. But there is virtually no evidence that the budget gap (two-thirds of which emanated from the Clinton recession) has had any negative effect on U.S. recovery prospects. In fact, even with the fastest economic growth in 20 years, long-term Treasury rates remain at 4.5 percent, the cheapest money in over 40 years.


All this is why Kerry's proposal to raise tax rates on upper-income individuals, small businesses and key investment categories like capital gains and dividends is so completely out of touch. The Kerry tax hikes will blunt the good news on growth and deficits, exactly the reverse of what the pessimistic Kerryites are predicting.

Like the modern Democratic Party, the Kerryites neither understand nor acknowledge the tax-incentive model of economic growth that simply restates an old truism: Individuals produce and invest more if it is more profitable after-tax to do so.

Ironically, by placing his $900 billion government-funded health-care plan at the center of his economic policy, Kerry has dropped any pretense of deficit reduction. He may take great pains to position himself as a Clinton-type moderate Democrat, but his policies are pure tax-and-spend liberal.

Oddly, the Kerryites talk about a middle-class "squeeze." This is counter-factual. Over the first five months of this election year, after-tax incomes (adjusted for inflation) have jumped 4.3 percent compared with the same period a year ago. That's why retail spending over the first six months of 2004 has increased 7.7 percent compared with the year-ago period.

The middle class wouldn't be spending quite so rapidly if it was squeezed in the way the Kerry complainers allege.

In other words, the Kerry campaign's dark picture of American economic life is simply untrue. And in the areas where improvements are necessary — including the Social Security system — a big-spending, overarching government-regulatory scheme is not the answer. What is? Greater individual responsibility and personal choice in the context of our free-enterprise market system. It's what will make this thriving nation even more prosperous.
