Our overall tax rate in this Country is now like 52%. That means over half of your income goes to some form of tax (sales tax, income tax, tax on your utilities, auto registration, estate tax, etc, etc).

In the 1950's the overall tax rate was about 5%. Look how far we've come. :icon_thum

Most people voted for every city proposition on the ballot. This equals MORE government spending and more money out of your pocket.

And another thing - I almost sh1t myself when I heard how long some of these people have been in office. 13 terms, 11 terms!!!!! GET A REAL JOB YOU A$$HOLES. Career politicians have completely lost touch with the real world. We need some real term limits!

no shit! how could you people vote for perry again! we are all truely going to get shit face ****ed in the ass. The guy has NO compassion for education, and thats not the only topic he does not care about. We have had student reperesentatives from our college go to him and discuss the funding he wants to take from community college, and he flat out talked about how people in community college are worthless people and will never ammount to anything, are just people to feed money into the tax system.

im more outraged then anything else that he got elected again, god help us all.

36% voter turn out, what a crock of shit. if the goverment really cared about voter turnout, and the "public has a voice" they would take some simple measures to makesure we show up.

But even then, some of you people cant even go put in a simple vote? even if you just walked in a slipped in a paper that said "perry smells like cock" that would have at least sufficed.

Bush Quietly Signs Bill to Allow Federal Borrowing to Grow by Nearly $1 Trillion



Without comment or ceremony, President Bush on Tuesday signed a bill allowing a record $984 billion increase in the amount the federal government can borrow, to a record $7.4 trillion.

The increased federal borrowing will enable the government to pay for the $350 billion economic stimulus package that the GOP-led Congress passed last week at Bush's behest.

Bush will hold a signing ceremony at the White House on Wednesday to celebrate passage of that legislation, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer announced. The package includes $330 billion in tax cuts and $20 billion in aid for states.

Passage of the bill raising the nation's debt ceiling came last Friday, only hours after the tax-cut bill was approved. Congressional Democrats had sought to spotlight the federal IOUs that have resumed piling up under President Bush.

But Republican leaders maneuvered to get the debt-ceiling measure passed quickly, and with little fanfare.

The Senate gave the bill final congressional approval by 53-44 on Friday.

Republican leaders did not bring the measure to the Senate floor until the House had left town for a weeklong Memorial Day recess.

The House had avoided a direct vote on the debt limit by reviving a rule that made its approval of a borrowing increase automatic when Congress finished its annual budget last month.

After running annual surpluses during the last four years of the Clinton administration, federal deficits have returned. This year's is expected to well exceed $300 billion, a record, and huge future shortfalls are expected with no end in sight.

Bush's signing of the bill -- announced in a statement with a single sentence -- will enable the government to borrow money until sometime next year.

The current $6.4 trillion limit was breached earlier this year.

Failure to extend the borrowing limit could have led to a first-ever federal default -- something neither party wants to explain.

The bill is H.J. Res. 51. e stage was set for Europe to split, with a helping hand from the US.
