		<description>&lt;i&gt;Gas prices are STILL not as high in constant dollars as in the 1970 s.&lt;/i&gt;
I remember gas prices in the low 30&#039;s and ARCO at 29 cents in the 1970&#039;s. I don&#039;t make 10x what my dad did, though.

		<description>Well, it&#039;s nice to see the&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/14/AR2006051400806.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; tax cut myth&lt;/a&gt; making the rounds again.
And in case you need it, here&#039;s even more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-taxcollections.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;historical data&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ombwatch.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ombwatch.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.ombwatch.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has plenty of info, as well.

Inflation is only under control if you exclude things like energy costs, which the Fed does to artificially depress the numbers.  As for the deficit, just Google &quot;deficit +danger&quot; and you&#039;ll get plenty of reasons why merely focusing on the debt to GDP ration is so misleading.  Even Greenspan, whom I couldn&#039;t stand, warned about the dangers of exloding deficits (but only after recommending Bush&#039;s tax cuts be made permanent, naturally...what an ass).

		<description>stop it chicken little.

Our deficit is reasonable as a percent of our GNP.  How can you not have real estate deflation when you have 30-40% per year appreciation in some places?  Inflation is being held well in check by the Fed, and is partly due to the real estate inflation of the past few years, which has now leveled off.

Gas prices are STILL not as high in constant dollars as in the 1970&#039;s.

Anymore fairy tales to share?

		<description>&quot; A flood of income tax payments pushed up government receipts to the second-highest level in history in April, giving the country a sizable surplus for the month.

In its monthly accounting of the government&#039;s books, the Treasury Department said Wednesday that revenue for the month totaled $315.1 billion as Americans filed their tax returns by the April deadline. The gusher of tax revenue pushed total receipts up by 13.4 percent from April 2005.

It marked the largest one-month receipt total since the government collected $332 billion in revenue in April 2001, reflecting a boom in capital gains from stock investors lucky enough to cash out their investments before the bursting of the stock market bubble in early 2000. &quot;

Yea the economy is in the toilet, just like the carter years.....and all this AFTER the Bush tax cut!
