How the government can double the tax cuts in the stimulus



The government can double the tax cuts in the stimulus package by cutting the Pentagon's budget in half.

That would save $230 billion. The current stimulus package proposes $275 billion in taxes.

It's not complicated. Look at the above graph. Is our risk of attack really six to eight times higher than England or France?

About Me

I find it's best to avoid filling in these "about me" things. You never know who's watching. And anyway, how would I decide which of my many personalities to portray? I wouldn't want to anger any of them. I WILL HARNESS THE POWER OF THE GOOGLE BLOGGINGS. Quiet, Pavlo. The point is that these things are dangerous. If I'm not careful, I could come across as a weirdo. Or boring. Also, I believe that every photo of me steals a little bit of my soul, so no profile picture.
