Georgia House Republicans Push $25 Billion New Tax

Temperatures in Chicago are the coldest they've been in a decade, they've had the most consecutive days of snowfall since records began in 1884, and Flint, Michigan just broke a 95-year-old record low temperature.  Of course, the cold temperatures won't stop Henry Waxman, the new Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, from pushing for a cap-and-trade bill to stop the emission of carbon dioxide.

 

A bunch of protesters are going after Robert Redford because they claim that his anti-oil drilling stance is anti-poor and racist.  Why don't they go protest the Obama inauguration and the Democrat Party?

 

John McCain may be Barack Obama's secret weapon in the United States Senate, all because McCain wants to get back in the good graces of the mainstream, uppity, navel-gazing media.

 

Americans have very little faith in the federal government and think that debt is ruining the economy…until it comes time to "stimulate" the economy or provide for their health insurance.

 

Democrats unveiled their $825 billion stimulus package today, which had no input from Republicans.

 

Senators will probably vote today on the second half of the bailout money, while Republicans want to limit the money to financial firms only.

 

Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel will reintroduce his bill calling for a military draft.

 

Obama will be on the cover of Time Magazine for the 13th time in the last year.

 

Obama's $150,000,000 inauguration is also going to be shown in movie theaters and for all staff in New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal offices.  The inauguration will also be an environmental nightmare.

 

Timothy Geithner didn't just make a mistake on his taxes; he downright cheated on them by accepting a tax reimbursement for the taxes that he didn't pay.

 

For those of you interested, here is a rundown of the Governor's proposed budget cuts.  House Minority Leader DuBose Porter responded to yesterday's State of the State Address by claiming that Governor Perdue is an absentee Governor.

 

There is a bill in front of the General Assembly that would force any doctors who treat state employees to also treat Medicaid patients.

 

There's another bill that would ban police officers from racial profiling.

 

A federal appeals court upheld Georgia's voter ID law.

 

The state House made its transportation pitch today, for a one-cent, ten-year statewide sales tax increase that would generate about $25 billion.

 

With all of the proposed tax hikes, Jason Pye says that Republicans in Georgia are the pro-tax party now.

 

A feces-throwing monkey is on the loose in the Tampa Bay area.
