PLAYIN' GAMES WITH TAXES -- Just a Minute for Wednesday 03-18-09

            Howdy… Here we are in the middle of the week *again*… Ain’t progress wonderful!

 

            Problem is we’ve suddenly got so many problems and they are coming at us faster than a swarm of yellow jackets when you run over them twice with the lawn mower… They’ll come and getcha!  Several times!

 

            The White House is juggling a lot of problems of its own making plus others that have flown in over the transom without being forewarned. Who knew President Obama would have such trouble assembling a Treasury Department team afflicted by a seemingly endless stream of people who should know better, ignoring their taxes, on a scale that would have alarmed even the James Brothers at the crest of their train-robbing career.

 

            Next we find the Obama Administration having vowed to close Gitmo…without ever figuring out just *where* they could putk the hardened core of criminals they have sifted through. They’ve now got a graduate school of terrorists and nowhere to park them. In addition they’ve got a burgeoning nuclear weapons potential enemy in Iran – with messed-up political and diplomatic relations with Russia; our major ally Great Britain upset with the snubbing a careless WH did to Prime Minister Gordon Brown; a threatened trade war with second largest international customer, Mexico, not to mention the continuing immigrant problems both inside and outside the country; incipient inflation and deflation because of the tangled financial market mess; all this while cutting back on defense spending at the very time China, Korea, and who knows else may be beefing up their spying and international terrorist structures.

 

            Did we mention Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Gaza, Israel, Syria and we never even started on Africa or eastern Europe. On top of all that we launched a shuttle but barely moved the Space Station out of the way of traveling space junk and debris that threatens it as well as the Hubble telescope.

 

            Well… nobody ever said being President was a piece of cake – and on the other hand -- nobody held a gun to the head of any candidate and forced him/her to run for the office.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

 

            Jack

“JUST A MINUTE”

PLAYIN’ GAMES WITH TAXES

BB: Jist a Minit – Mr. Jack has everbody in Georgia an South Caroliner taken leave of the’re senses?

Jack: What makes you ask Billy-Bob?

BB: Well the Demicrat Committee in Columbia’s acuseing Republican Gov. Sanford of playin games with th’ stimlous money…

Jack: Yeah?

BB: An Republican Guvnor Perdue in Georgia is upset with a bill called JOBS ta' give tax credits fer employers hirin’ new workers…

Homer: That’n passed 164 ta' 4 – and another’n ‘liminate bizness inventory taxes with a referendum.

MizP: Where’s all this cornfusion a-comin’ frum?

Jack: It’s the Obama spending bill – Governor Mark Sanford says he doesn’t think you solve a problem created by too much debt – by adding a WHOLE  LOT more debt.

BB: I buy that.

Jack: He wants $700 million of the stimulus money used to pay down debt. But gets opposition from his own party – and the President says he won’t approve it.

Homer: Whut about Georgia?

Jack: Governor Sonny Perdue has also got opposition from Republican colleagues – and they’ve all been meeting with Arthur Laffler…

MizP: Ah ‘ve heered of him… he invented the laffin’ curve…

Jack: The Laffler curve Miss Pearl – President Reagan used it to bring down interest and tax rates … business prospered.

MizP: They’s tryin’ ta' do that in Georgia?

Jack: Right…

MizP: Ah don’t see why not.

Jack: Ok – But I agree with one of the Georgia legislators who said "For some reason people in Washington seem to think that only big government spending programs can get us out of economic recession."

MizP: Ah b’leve we oughtta be gittin oursevs out.

Jack: The best idea I think is for us to ask the Lord to help us weave our way through this problem and support the people of character and honesty.

MizP:  Ah’ll vote fer that-ut!

Jack: OK… Our time’s up -- be back next week. I’m Jack Buttram
