Looking up to see down

My fellow Blogger the Vermont Woodchuck posted this back in Dec 07, long before he started his own site. I’m picking this up from the New England Republican.
From Dodd and Frank with love

From 12/07,  one could see this wreck coming over the corpulent carpet of elevated asses produced by Congress planting their heads in the [...]

Would you believe it

If your State and Federal political delegations could run things like the auto industry successfully, the Soviet Union WOULDN’T have collapsed?
These same individuals want to tell your doctors how to run their offices and hospitals too!

Shortage of primary care doctors remedied

Obama administration concerned about growing shortage of primary-care doctors

Friday April 31, 2009, 9:59 AM Washington — Obama administration officials, alarmed at doctor shortages, are looking for rapid ways to increase the number of physicians to meet the needs of an aging population and millions of uninsured people.

Vermont’s Going Galt

If the Vermont Legislature thinks they can tax their way out of the shortfall, they might take a peek at the Federal take.
When push comes to shove, the Feds have more push for getting money. They’re not doing well; the taxpayers are “going Galt” which will be reflected in Vermont’s collections too. In fact, sales, [...]

The Toonerville Tax Trolley

Perhaps the Legislature can enlighten us mere mortals how this railroad called the State of Vermont is gong to get where it is heading.

The price of the fares to be collected appears to exceed the number of riders and their fervor for the trip.
The condition of Vermont’s fiscal roadbed suggests a short ride ending well [...]

So Vermont, what do you know about torture.

Obama and friends wish to make many Mea Culpas for perceived “tortures” such as making someone wear women’s panties on their heads. Maybe they were water boarded too. Does telling one to stand on a box make it worse: putting one on a leash is kinky. We have highly placed politicians who pay some Dom [...]

Oops!

Vermont’s tax code!

Now what you gonna do?

One for you and one for me

ANESU, is it for the Children
Rumor has it that the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union is trying to hide a sunrise. I heard this at the post office in Bristol and at Snaps. Slick of them to try it.
I’m talking about the alleged embezzlement of funds from the union that purportedly has been ongoing for a [...]

A little touch of taxes

Senate holds nose, OKs new taxes

“I’m really struggling to raise the revenue,” Sen. Jane Kitchel, D-Caledonia explained shortly before the 18-12 vote on the tax bill…[snip]
They should have held Shumlin’s nose and cut spending.
That would have avoided all this struggling, wailing and thrashing about in the weeds.
Notice they taxed few Vermont companies unless they produced [...]

Stimulus work, if you can get it

Green Port-O-Sans
The Legislature worked overtime to get the shovel ready jobs started, realizing to late they needed sanitary workers.
The “Miracle Working” team of Shumlin and Shap killed two stones with this bird.

By shutting off unemployment compensation, they provided the necessary manpower to construction sites across Vermont AND closed a large hole in the budget.
This [...]
