Excellent Piece by Congressman Raul Labrador on How Tax Day Should Remind Us That We Don't Need More Taxes
labrador.congressnewsletter.net/mail/util.cfm?gpiv...gen=1
"As we prepare to file our income taxes it is important for all of us not to lose sight of the principles our nation was founded upon, not least of which were limited government and the rejection of an overwhelming tax burden."
This is a great piece by Congressman Labrador. He understands the problems we face financially as a country and will do anything in his power to help fix those problems and get this great country back on the right track.

Excellent Wall Street Journal Op-Ed on Obama's Economic Speech Last Night
Review & Outlook: The Presidential Divider - WSJ.com: online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870373010457...ADTop
I would say that the WSJ had no love for Obama or his politically charged economic speech last night. In fact I would dare say that the WSJ is right and the only reason for the speech was a very public attempt to crush the Republican proposal and its supporters to the point that public opinion will continue to believe that the status-quo is okay and that Republicans only want to kill old people, starve children, and kick cute little puppies in the evilest of ways. Below is some of the opening remarks in the op-ed that enlightens the reader as to the direction that the WSJ was headed in its critique of yesterday's speech:
"Did someone move the 2012 election to June 1? We ask because President Obama's extraordinary response to Paul Ryan's budget yesterday—with its blistering partisanship and multiple distortions—was the kind Presidents usually outsource to some junior lieutenant. Mr. Obama's fundamentally political document would have been unusual even for a Vice President in the fervor of a campaign... Mr. Obama ... packaged his poison in the rhetoric of bipartisanship—which 'starts,' he said, 'by being honest about what's causing our deficit.' The speech he chose to deliver was dishonest even by modern political standards."

What I Got From Obama's Speech
Blah blah blah, um, it's all Bush's fault. Ummm, ummmm. Blah blah blah the rich are greedy and need to be forced to pay their share (unless I want them for a cabinet position). Blah blah blah Republicans are trying to kill old people and starve children. Blah blah blah Obamacare is the cat's meow despite high levels of waivers being given to my friends and supporters. Blah blah blah it's still Bush's fault. Ummmm you people are just too stupid to understand the great things I am trying to do for you. Ummm did it mention that it's all Bush's fault?

Obama's Expected Tax Increase Proposal Shot Down Before it Gets Off the Ground.

A Great Article About the Basic Foundation of Herman Cain's Economic Plan. Sounds Good to Me.
Herman Cain Bets On Main Street-John Ransom - Townhall Finance: finance.townhall.com/columnists/johnransom/2011/04...treet
Here are some great quotes from the above story. Looks quite workable both policy-wise and economics-wise to get this country back on its feet.
"The current administration’s hostility towards the job creators of America, from small businesses to our biggest corporations,” Cain told Townhall Finance,"is based on the fact that only 7 percent of President Obama’s administration has ever held a job in the private sector.”
"For decades Democrats have insisted on taxing profits generated by U.S. companies in foreign countries,” Cain wrote in an editorial in Investor’s Business Daily,"because they thought it would force businesses to keep the investments in the U.S.” Cain says that it’s had the opposite effect, costing jobs here at home.
"Significantly lowering the top corporate tax rate, reducing the capital gains tax rate to zero, suspending the tax on repatriated foreign profits, making the tax rates permanent, and a one-year payroll tax holiday for employees and employers would be a good start.”
"Cain would first look at across the board reductions of between ten and fifteen percent in federal spending for all departments and programs. Cabinet members who couldn’t make the cuts would be sent walking."
"After that Cain would institute a comprehensive review of government, eliminating some programs or departments entirely. While Cain is mum on which departments he would chop, grassroots conservatives would like to see the elimination of the EPA, the Department of Energy and the Department of Education, along with de-funding the United Nations in any potential downsizing of government. "

A Very Interesting Op-Ed by Dana Perino
DANA PERINO: How GOP Leadership Keeps Saving President Obama From Himself - www.foxnews.com: www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/04/11/dana-perino-gop...ntent
As usual, Obama has little new ideas of his own and continues to use others while trying his hardest to throw them under the bus with the complicit help of Democratic Congressional Leaders and the MSM. Now if only the Republicans in Congress could stop worrying about being blamed for a government shut down and stand up for what they proclaim to believe then we would have a real shot of turning this country around and put it back on course. Because if they don't, 2012 could be a very disappointing election cycle.

The Truth About Spending Cuts A Great Article From Reason.comReason.comReason.comReason.comReason.comReason.com
reason.com/archives/2011/04/08/the-truth-about-spe...-cuts
No surprise the study concludes that spending cut scenarios work much better than tax increase scenarios when reducing a nation's deficit and debt. It doesn't take a genius to understand that revenues obtained through tax increases are used to increase spending rather than reduce deficits and debt.

Great News for Idaho. Tax Revenues Above Projections Once Again. Looks Like the Economy is Starting to Shake Loose a Little.
« www.idahoreporter.com: www.idahoreporter.com/2011/march-tax-revenues-abov...trend
Increased tax revenue not relating to increased tax rates means that the economy is starting to show a bit of life. It doesn't mean Idaho is out of the woods yet, just moving in the right direction.
