While the tea party has played a critical role in electing candidates to Congress and Springfield, the Illinois Tea Party has never endorsed candidates at any level.<br /><br />Denise Cattoni, State Director of the Illinois Tea Party, said, "In 2010 we supported candidates who could help stop wasteful spending, runaway deficits and ObamaCare at the federal level. But after Springfield politicians raised our taxes in the middle of the night and piled up $8.5 billion in unpaid bills, we've been left with no choice but to stand up for the people of Illinois. Every local state senate and state representative race will affect the direction of our state, which is why we're working together to defeat the political establishment in Springfield. These candidates are supported by our local tea party groups who know the candidates and their communities best."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><strong>Michael Connelly for State Senate, 21st District</strong><br /><br />Michael Connelly, then a newly elected State Representative, was the only elected official invited to speak at the first tea party held in Lisle on April 15, 2009. Denise Cattoni, who organized the event, said, "As more than a thousand concerned citizens drove many miles to our small town, we shared the stories with others who knew our country was on the wrong track with unsustainable spending. With passion in his voice, Mike Connelly spoke of serving his constituents by doing his part in bringing the country back to fiscal sanity and conservatives principles."<br /><br />Connelly's record in the General Assembly has remained true to those principles, including being the Chief Sponsor of a bill to repeal the Democrats' tax increase, HB175. We have no doubt Mike will continue to fight for Illinois families as State Senator of the 21st District.<br /><br /><strong>Danielle Rowe for State Representative, 52nd District</strong><br /><br />Danielle Rowe is a conservative leader and tireless tea party activist. Rowe's "Roadmap" of repealing the tax increase, reforming public sector pensions, reducing spending and restoring a climate friendly to small businesses is exactly what our state needs. Not only is Rowe leading by example on pension reform by refusing to accept a legislator pension, she has pledged to introduce legislation to eliminate legislator pensions completely.<br /><br />"Danielle Rowe is the real tea party conservative running in the 52nd Illinois State Representative race," said Andrew Gasser, an Illinois Tea Party Leader from Fox River Grove. "Danielle is someone who understands what it means to practice fiscal responsibility, constitutional limited government, and free markets here in the 52nd district and in Springfield. Make no mistake, Ms. Rowe is not afraid to take on the special interest groups and is going to make an excellent state representative."<br /><br /><strong>State Senator Sam McCann, 50th District, for Re-Election&nbsp;</strong><br /><br />Sam McCann was elected to the Senate in a Democratic district in 2010 with the help of the tea party and a strong grassroots campaign. He ran on a platform of fiscal responsibility and he has kept his promises. Senator McCann has been a champion of small business and a consistent voice against wasteful spending in the Senate.<br /><br />Rhonda Linders, Alton Tea Party Coordinator, said, "We are all being taxed enough already in Illinois. This isn't about Republicans, Democrats or Independents, it's about voting for conservative and constitutional values. We continue to trust Senator McCann to represent us in the Senate."<br /><br /><strong>John Bambenek for State Senator, 52nd District</strong><br /><br />John Bambenek is a conservative activist and leader who has pushed for fiscal responsibility, budget reform, pension reform and ending corruption. John authored a Constitutional amendment to enact term limits for state legislators, which is critically needed to reform our state. Bambenek recognizes the cause of our budget crisis is politicians continuing to spend money we don't have and he has pledged to only vote for budgets that are balanced.<br /><br />Diane Benjamin, Regional Coordinator, Illinois Tea Party, said, "We endorse John Bambenek for State Senate because John understands the issues facing Illinois. Unlike most of the Illinois GOP currently holding elected office, John will be a Senator willing to stand for the citizens of Illinois instead of complacently waiting to be in the majority."</span><div style="color: #9a2525; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"></div><span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">This is the first in a series of endorsements for Illinois State Senate and State Representative candidates. The mission of the tea party remains to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize concerned citizens to promote fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets.<br />__________________________________________________________________________________________</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />December 20, 2011<br /><br /><div style="color: #00235d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Mike Madigan controls most of what goes on in Springfield. &nbsp;Here is why he needs to go.</div><div style="color: #00235d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Illinois Policy Institute report on Illinois:</div><div style="color: #00235d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="color: #00235d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://illinoispolicy.org/uploads/files/IllinoisKeyFacts11-1.pdf">Download the one-page Policy Point here.</a><br /><br /><strong>The Problem</strong><br />With its resources, location, expansive farmland, and first-class towns and cities, Illinois should be a leading economic powerhouse in the United States. Unfortunately, thanks to an unfriendly business and regulatory climate, Illinois has been underperforming for years. “Rich States, Poor States,” a comprehensive economic performance index authored by Steve Moore, Art Laffer, and Jonathan Williams spells out the startling facts about Illinois. Out of the 50 states, Illinois ranks 48th in economic performance. According to the 2010 ALEC-Laffer State Competitiveness Index, Illinois is doing better than only two states: Michigan and Ohio.<br /><br />According to this report, as well as government data, Illinois also ranks:</div><ul style="color: #00235d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;"><li>47th in economic outlook. Neighboring Missouri and Indiana rank well ahead in terms of future opportunity, at 15th and 20th respectively.</li><li>44th in GDP growth, averaging only 4.95% per year from 1998-2008 while the U.S. average was 6.59%.</li><li>37th in debt burden. Illinois continues to spend government revenue growth on government expansion rather than funding past debt obligations, including pensions.</li><li>36th in personal income per capita growth, averaging 4.5% in 1998-2008 while the U.S. average is 5.1%.</li><li>48th in employment growth from 1998 till 2008, ranking ahead of only Michigan and Ohio.</li><li>48th in absolute domestic migration, with 637,979 people leaving the state from 1999-2008. Only two states—California and New York—lost more people.</li><li>47th in the U.S. Tort Liability Index for 2010.</li><li>7th highest in median property taxes paid on homes in 2009.</li><li>14th highest in number of days spent working in 2010 to pay federal, state, and local government taxes.</li><li>11th highest in property tax burden per capita.</li><li>6th highest gas tax burden—approximately 39 cents per gallon.</li><li>1st in sales tax burden (Chicago &amp; Cook County) of a major U.S. city.</li><li>6th highest combined state and average local sales tax rate, at 8.4 percent.</li></ul><div style="color: #00235d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Illinois is shrinking in wealth, once ranking as high as 6th in per capita personal income and dropping to 13th in 2009. The growth of the Illinois economy has lagged the rest of the country for the past three decades.<br /><br /><strong>Our Solution</strong><br />The solution: lower taxes; responsible spending; transparent, accountable government; and a business-friendly environment that empowers entrepreneurs, investors and workers instead of expanding government bureaucracies.<br /><br /><strong>Why This Works</strong><br />Low-tax, low-spending, low-regulation states have fared far better economically over recent years. If Illinois is to reclaim its place as a land of prosperity, leaders must consider smarter policies that maximize liberty and keep the state in check.<br /><br /><a href="http://illinoispolicy.org/uploads/files/IllinoisKeyFacts11-1.pdf">Download the one-page Policy Point here.</a></div><br />_________________________________________________________________________________<br />December 12, 2011<br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>12 Simply Questions to ask your "Obama Voting Friend'</strong></span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Written by J.Vanne</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Ask them if this is the “hope and change” they had in mind for each item below:<u></u><u></u></strong></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">1</span></span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;- For FY 2011, the U.S. government had a budget deficit of&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-market-news-story.aspx?storyid=201110141417dowjonesdjonline000481&amp;title=us-runs-1299-trillion-budget-deficit-in-fiscal-2011" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank" title="http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-market-news-story.aspx?storyid=201110141417dowjonesdjonline000481&amp;title=us-runs-1299-trillion-budget-deficit-in-fiscal-2011"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: small;">nearly 1.3 trillion dollars</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;">, the third year in a row topping one trillion dollars.&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-market-news-story.aspx?storyid=201110141417dowjonesdjonline000481&amp;title=us-runs-1299-trillion-budget-deficit-in-fiscal-2011" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank" title="http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-market-news-story.aspx?storyid=201110141417dowjonesdjonline000481&amp;title=us-runs-1299-trillion-budget-deficit-in-fiscal-2011"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: small;">www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-<wbr></wbr>market-news-story.aspx?<wbr></wbr>storyid=<wbr></wbr>201110141417dowjonesdjonline00<wbr></wbr>0481&amp;title=us-runs-1299-<wbr></wbr>trillion-budget-deficit-in-<wbr></wbr>fiscal-2011</span></span></a><span style="color: windowtext;"></span></span><u></u><u></u></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">2 - One out of every seven Americans is on food stamps and&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/us/29foodstamps.html" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/us/29foodstamps.html"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: small;">one out of every four</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;American children is on food stamps according to NY Times&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/us/29foodstamps.html" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/us/29foodstamps.html"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: small;">www.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/us/<wbr></wbr>29foodstamps.html</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: windowtext;"></span><u></u><u></u></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">3</span></span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;- The U.S. Postal Service lost more than&nbsp;</span><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/post-office-near-default-losses-mount-5-1b-210808129.html" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank" title="http://news.yahoo.com/post-office-near-default-losses-mount-5-1b-210808129.html"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: small;">5 billion dollars</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;over the past year.

All because there was somebody inside they didn't like. So where were the cops? TheDC's Matthew Boyle reports: "Americans For Prosperity staffers told The Daily Caller that Washington, D.C. 911 operators hung up on them four times when they asked for extra police to help them deal with the Occupy DC protesters who stormed their 'Defending the American Dream Summit' Friday evening and some attendees suggested that the lack of police resources may have been politically motivated. AFP foundation's director of programs Katie Engdahl said she called 911 to ask for more help in order to protect event attendees from the growing group of protesters outside the Washington Convention Center. Engdahl was the AFP staffer in charge of running the event, which the Occupy protesters swarmed on Friday night, most likely because billionaire investor David Koch was in attendance. Left-wing media have vilified Koch and his brother, Charles, for their donations to libertarian and free market causes... Engdahl said she called 911 in the middle of the show and told them the protesters appeared organized with a plan of attack as they had all the convention center exits blocked... 'I said that I didn't want it to rise to where we had a confrontation or other problems – and they hung up on me,' Engdahl said, adding that she and other AFP staffers and volunteers had made at least four 911 calls from inside the convention center asking for help." They were all hung up on. Meanwhile: "Dolores Brodersen, a 78-year-old woman who came to Washington for the summit with her Detroit AFP group, suffered severe injuries to her wrist, both legs and ankle as a result of the havoc raised by the protesters." Well,&nbsp;<a href="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/132051ad80614bcac2705068c5925541?pa=6099659185" rel="nofollow" style="color: #234786; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px;" target="_blank" title="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/132051ad80614bcac2705068c5925541?pa=6099659185">they had a really good chant going</a>&nbsp;and didn't want to stop for some old lady writhing in pain on the ground. If Brodersen didn't want to get pushed down the stairs, she should've thought about that before she attended an event that wasn't Occupy DC-approved, right? Another elderly woman was also injured on the same set of stairs, and the peaceful, compassionate Occupy DC protesters helped out by... yelling at her.&nbsp;<strong style="font-weight: bold;">P.S.</strong>Was the inadequate police presence&nbsp;<a href="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/7aff6290aa32f8983aa364c70d2c5a73?pa=6099659185" rel="nofollow" style="color: #234786; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px;" target="_blank" title="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/7aff6290aa32f8983aa364c70d2c5a73?pa=6099659185">politically motivated?</a>&nbsp;<strong style="font-weight: bold;">P.P.S.</strong>&nbsp;Oh yeah, and Occupy DC also&nbsp;<a href="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/25037149c80e65d47b9125f789131e19?pa=6099659185" rel="nofollow" style="color: #234786; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px;" target="_blank" title="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/25037149c80e65d47b9125f789131e19?pa=6099659185">used their own children as human shields.</a>&nbsp;Nice.</td></tr><tr><td style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; padding-top: 15px;"><a class="yiv246699905headline" href="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/e44101da7c21bf6c399d2e71ed386d17?pa=6099659185" name="head2" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1d3b73; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px;" target="_blank" title="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/e44101da7c21bf6c399d2e71ed386d17?pa=6099659185">&nbsp;More on the Occupy DC attack mob</a>&nbsp;-- TheDC's Michelle Fields was also on the receiving end of the Occupy movement's respect for women Friday night.

And here she is describing the peacefully belligerent, calmly shrieking protesters: "They targeted the individuals at the event by blocking off all of the exits of the building so that no one could leave and blocked off all intersections around the convention center so that no cars could pass through. It seemed as though most people at the event caught cabs back home, so the people who were hurt the most by the blocked intersections were DC residents — not the people from the AFP event... A very large group of male protesters began to surround me and chant 'F— Michelle Fields,' while others screamed in my face for working at The Daily Caller and being a 'right wing extremist.' There were very few female protesters, but they were civil towards me. All of the people who harassed me were male protesters... Occupy DC only allowed non-luxury cars and government buses to pass through. At one point an African American man came by in an SUV and pleaded with the protesters to let him and his 2 year old son get through so they could go home. One of the protesters shouted: 'Sorry, but you have no power right now and your son can't save you.'" When it comes to targeting victims of their free-floating rage, Occupy DC's preference is clear: women and children first.</td></tr></tbody></table><span id="yiv246699905role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><u><span style="color: blue;"></span></u></span></div><div style="background-color: white;"></div><div style="background-color: white;"></div><div style="background-color: white;"><span id="yiv246699905role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><img class="yiv246699905align-full" height="70" src="http://api.ning.com/files/Si3BH1vrWhwIsIgoVBXJ7l2Q4LXMyz4t9f-tLU1vNhyKb2ga*MF67jDj292RD7cp66LRsQb*6UajTkfjifeIH0boC*1vcOxE/logowashington.times.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; height: 35px; width: 235px;" width="469" /></span></span><br /><h1 style="margin-bottom: 0.67em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.67em;"><span id="yiv246699905role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span class="yiv246699905font-size-6"><a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/nov/4/occupy-envy/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #234786; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #183050; font-size: small;">KRAMER: Occupy envy</span></a></span></span></h1><h3 style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;"><span id="yiv246699905role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Covetousness is morphing from sin to virtue</span></span></h3><div style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span id="yiv246699905role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">By John E. Kramer | Friday, November 4, 2011<br /><br />There is a deeply disturbing message coming out of the Occupy Wall Street movement - one of the few consistent messages thus far. It is the same message President Obama and his political allies have hammered home for much of his administration. Simply put, it boils down to this: We must punish success; we must organize envy.<br /><br />Envy used to be condemned as one of the Seven Deadly Sins. It was something to be avoided and discouraged. Consider that at least two of the 10 Commandments explicitly discourage envy in one form or another. Now envy is held up as a virtue not only by the occupiers but by members of the left’s political class in a bold but transparent move to gain greater power over those with the means to challenge their authority.<br /><br />Our response to them should be equally simple: Envy isn’t an American value.<br /><br />In this nation, we are aspirational. We don’t just hope for a better life and seek to take it from others by force; we work for it. When we work for it, we hope and expect to gain the fruits of our labor. The messages preached by the occupiers and the president are more representative of the kind of European values our forbearers fled by the millions to come to the United States in hopes of forging a better lives for themselves and their families, a hope based on individual freedom rather than government-directed redistribution. Don’t take my word for it. Consider the words of rock star Bono, who said, “In America, the guy looks up at a mansion on a hill and says, ‘One day, if I work really hard, I’m going to live in that mansion on the hill.’ In Dublin, they look at the mansion on the hill and they say, ‘One day, I’m going to get that bastard.’ “<br /><br />That’s the message the occupiers and those on the left are trying to sell to Americans - that it’s OK to take from the 1 percent because they are successful. We outnumber them, so that makes it acceptable.<br /><br />Count me among those who don’t begrudge the rich what they own. Merely because someone is rich doesn’t make me poor. It is not consistent with the freedoms that we value and the rights that are enshrined in our Constitution that we should seek to use government power to punish success and limit the accumulation of wealth. I despise McMansions, for example. I think they are ugly and a waste of resources, and I would never live in one. But if some rich fool wants to build one as a boast and live in it on his own land, that is his business. He should have the freedom to do that and keep what he has earned. I’ll remain content in my humble brick rambler. If a person is not harming another, he should be left alone to do or to accumulate as he wishes. Remember that old expression: “It’s a free country.”<br /><br />If you don’t like McMansions, don’t buy one. If you don’t like a corporation that outsources its work overseas to rake in big profits, don’t do business with that company. Better yet, start your own business that doesn’t do that. What you shouldn’t be calling for is punishing the successful who have broken no law but are merely working to make the world a better place as they see it.<br /><br />America’s greatest value is that we aspire - we want better for ourselves and others. But that “better” we seek must be earned through private negotiation, not through government force. Occupy Wall Streeters need to be reminded that organized envy has no place here in our land.</span></span></div><div style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span id="yiv246699905role_document" style="color: black;

Just pass an American Jobs Act!</a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div>-- The stimulus bill stimulated the economy, so why shouldn't a jobs bill create jobs? TheDC's Amanda Carey reports: "The weather outside wasn't the only storm enveloping Capitol Hill on Thursday night. Inside the House chamber, a confrontational President Barack Obama presented his $450 billion American Jobs Act to a joint session of Congress. He caught lawmakers off guard by announcing his intent to release a plan to reduce the deficit on September 19. Considered to be his last chance to jolt an economic recovery and retake control of Washington's agenda, Obama called on lawmakers to come together and solve the unemployment crisis that has plagued the nation. In fact, Obama implored Congress to 'pass this bill' <a href="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/278586c22dd744a0bb395bbaa1ad660a?pa=5189308445" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/278586c22dd744a0bb395bbaa1ad660a?pa=5189308445">nearly twenty times</a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div>during his address... According to Obama, the plan will focus on creating jobs for construction workers, teachers and veterans. It will also include a tax break for companies who hire new workers and cut payroll taxes in half for working Americans and small businesses. It would additionally extend unemployment insurance for at least another year. 'It will provide a jolt to an economy that has stalled, and give companies confidence that if they invest and hire, there will be customers for their products and services,' said Obama. 'You should pass this jobs plan right away.'" You know how a little kid thinks if he just keeps stomping his feet and making the same demand over and over, eventually he'll get what he wants? Incidentally, here's one of the indications of <a href="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/6b7de4ca8d61a911909d3c5cc5432536?pa=5189308445" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://go.madmimi.com/redirects/6b7de4ca8d61a911909d3c5cc5432536?pa=5189308445">Narcissistic Personality Disorder</a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div>: "has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations." Probably just a coincidence! Well, now that the American Jobs Act has solved <i>this</i> problem, Obama should schedule a big speech to announce the Everything Is Okay Now and You're Going to Reelect Me Act. <b>P.S.</b> If you want to read the bill, you should know better by now. It doesn't actually exist. See, under the Obama administration, a promise is considered an accomplishment.

The Associated Press reports: "President Barack Obama's promise Thursday that everything in his jobs plan will be paid for rests on highly iffy propositions. It will only be paid for if a committee he can't control does his bidding, if Congress puts that into law and if leaders in the future — the ones who will feel the fiscal pinch of his proposals — don't roll it back. Underscoring the gravity of the nation's high employment rate, Obama chose a joint session of Congress, normally reserved for a State of the Union speech, to lay out his proposals. But if the moment was extraordinary, the plan he presented was conventional Washington rhetoric in one respect: It employs sleight-of-hand accounting." Among the shaky claims: "Everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything." "Everything in here is the kind of proposal that's been supported by both Democrats and Republicans, including many who sit here tonight." "It will not add to the deficit." "The American Jobs Act answers the urgent need to create jobs right away." Other than that, though, it was real talk. Obama thinks whatever he says magically becomes the truth because he's the one saying it. Which worked for a while, but only for a while.</td></tr></tbody></table><div></div><div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr> <td style="font-weight: bold; padding-top: 15px;"><a class="yiv1736866550headline" href="http://e.dailycaller-alerts.com/l.jsp?d=347.230812.1248.1SbV93kc.A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://e.dailycaller-alerts.com/l.jsp?d=347.230812.1248.1SbV93kc.A">Confrontational Obama presents jobs bill, leaves Republicans underwhelmed</a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div><br />(The Daily Caller)</td></tr><tr> <td style="font-weight: bold; padding-top: 15px;"><a class="yiv1736866550headline" href="http://e.dailycaller-alerts.com/l.jsp?d=347.230813.1248.1SbV93kc.A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://e.dailycaller-alerts.com/l.jsp?d=347.230813.1248.1SbV93kc.A">FACT CHECK: Obama's jobs plan paid for?

display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div></div></div><div class="yiv269589772font-toggle"><span style="font-size: small;">Despite President Obama’s repeated claims to change the tone in Washington, the White House had no comment this afternoon after Teamsters Union leader James Hoffa, speaking at an event before President Obama, said of Tea Party activists that, come November, Democrats should “take these sons of bitches out.”</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Warming up the crowd before President Obama’s Labor Day speech in Detroit this afternoon, Hoffa warned the largely union crowd that the Tea Party was waging a “war on workers.”</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">“We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war,” Hoffa told thousands of workers gathered for the annual event organized by the Detroit Labor Council.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">“President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march…Everybody here’s got a vote…Let’s take these sons of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” he concluded.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">The Tea Party Express has called on President Obama to “condemn this inappropriate and uncivil rhetoric,” saying it “has no place in the public forum.”</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">“Jimmy Hoffa’s remarks are inexcusable and amount to a call for violence on peaceful tea party members, which include many Teamster members,” Tea Party Express chair Amy Kremer said in a written statement.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">During the 2008 campaign, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., immediately rebuked talk radio host Bill Cunningham when he disparaged then-Senator Obama in his opening remarks at a McCain campaign event. Cunningham had fueled rumors that Obama was Muslim by repeatedly referring to him by his full name “Barack Hussein Obama.”</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">McCain immediately took responsibility and profusely apologized for Cunningham’s remarks.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Should President Obama do the same regarding Hoffa comments about the Tea Party? The president has repeatedly called for increased civility in American politics. “Only a more civil and honest public discourse can help us face up to the challenges of our nation,” the president said in January.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">“I do believe there is hope for civility. I do believe there’s hope for progress,” Obama said after last November’s midterm elections.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">At the time Obama admitted that he had neglected “some things that matter a lot to people,” including “maintaining a bipartisan tone in Washington,” and that he planned to “redouble my efforts to go back to some of those first principles.”</span></div></div><div><div><b><span style="font-size: small;">Tea Party Group to Hoffa - Resign!</span></b></div><div><a href="http://dailycaller.com/2011/09/05/tea-party-group-to-hoffa-resign/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://dailycaller.com/2011/09/05/tea-party-group-to-hoffa-resign/"><span style="font-size: small;">http://dailycaller.com/2011/09/05/tea-party-group-to-hoffa-resign/</span></a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer;

Call it the Great Political Migration. <br /><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353753570">Between 2009 and 2010 the five biggest losers in terms of “residents lost to other states” were all prominent redoubts of progressivism: California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, and New Jersey. Meanwhile, the five biggest winners in the relocation sweepstakes are all commonly identified as red states in which Republicans generally dominate local politics: Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia. Expanding the review to a 10-year span, the biggest population gainers (in percentage terms) have been even more conservative than last year's winners: Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Texas, in that order.</div>The shift in national demographics has already rearranged the playing field for the upcoming presidential election. States that Barack Obama carried were the biggest losers in the reapportionment that followed the 2010 Census, with New York and Ohio dropping two electoral votes each. Texas, meanwhile, gained a whopping four votes all by its Lone Star lonesome self. Even in the unlikely event that Obama carried exactly the same states he carried in 2008, he'd still win six fewer electoral votes in 2012. Even more tellingly, if the epic Bush-Gore battle of 2000 played out on the new Electoral College map, with the two candidates carrying precisely the states they each won 11 years ago, the result would have been a far more clear-cut GOP victory margin of 33 electoral votes (instead of the five-vote nail-biter recorded in history books).<br /><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353754319">Fifty years ago, the United States saw a mass migration from east to west. Today we're witnessing a comparable migration from left to right.</div>This significant shift in population not only presents progressives with significant problems in terms of practical politics, but also confronts them with profound ideological challenges.<br /><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755433">If liberal approaches work so well, why are so many people choosing to pack their bags and desert some of the most progressive, pro-labor, big-government states in the union?</div><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755854">And if uncompromising conservatism is a cruel, fraudulent disaster, why do small-government, pro-business, low-tax, gun-toting, and churchgoing states draw such a disproportionate number of America's internal immigrants?</div><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755847">In the emerging presidential campaign, it's easy to see a version of these questions dominating the debate. Why should anyone choose to endorse liberal, Democratic policies when a single year (2009-10) saw 880,000 residents packing up their belongings to place Barack Obama's Illinois in their rear-view mirror, while 782,000 new arrivals helped drive the robust economy in <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/08/24/kinky-friedman-rick-perry-s-got-my-vote.html" id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755850" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Rick Perry's Texas</span></a></div><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div>? <br /><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755434">During the bad old days of the Cold War, so many people tried to leave East Germany that the communists built a wall to keep them in. The world rightly took that gesture as evidence of failure and corruption in the Stalinist system.</div><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755848">California can't raise a wall to prevent people from abandoning the Not-So-Golden State, or somehow deter or return the 2 million who decamped between 2009 and 2010. Doesn't this overwhelming outflow of residents count as powerful evidence of the failure, corruption, and bankruptcy of the state's leadership—long dominated by legislative leftists, even under the moderate GOP governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger? For the first time since statehood in 1850, a new Census brought no increase in California's representation in Congress (or the Electoral College).</div><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755435">California has become a sad symbol of dysfunctional government at its shabbiest, shadiest, most sclerotic, and irresponsible—an exquisitely painful irony for those of us who recall the Golden State's onetime position in the national imagination. Not so long ago, the whole nation (or at least its most enterprising and adventurous elements) seemed to envy the state and to embrace the notion of “California Dreamin'.”</div><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755436">My late parents cherished that dream and made the trek from Philadelphia to my dad's first job (after graduate school on the GI Bill) in San Diego. They loaded a battered, gray '53 Plymouth with their possessions and their 5-year-old son (me) and drove across the country for a thrilling new life. Growing up in the '50s and '60s, nearly everyone we knew seemed recently arrived from somewhere else, thrilled to experience the electric atmosphere of a place that seemed to define America's bright future.</div>After my parents' divorce, my father eventually decided to leave California for a corner of the earth that promised even more excitement and significance—Israel—and he spent the last 19 years of his life in Jerusalem. As for me, I finally persuaded my wife, Diane (a fifth-generation Californian whose ancestors arrived in Gold Rush days), to move our family to Washington state in 1996, and there's never been a day when I regretted that decision.<br />To some, this move from one center for liberal lunacy to another progressive outpost made no sense: Seattle offered the lefty politics of California but with considerably less sunshine. But there is one striking difference between these two Pacific Coast states: When it comes to income taxes, California's top rate recently crested to an appalling 10.3 percent (on top of federal tax burdens, sales tax, property tax, and much more). Washington, on the other hand, imposes no income tax at all, and ongoing growth makes Washington the only blue state (that's right, the only one) that added a congressional seat in the recent Census.<br /><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755518">The impact of state income taxes helps explain the flow of business and families to those states with more hospitable, less-intrusive attitudes toward enterprise. The dollars involved are hardly trivial. California punishes the stinking, selfish, filthy rich by imposing the second-highest rate–9.3 percent—on every dollar an individual earns beyond the obscenely lavish sum of $46,766. New York takes similar aim at privileged plutocrats, with individual tax rates of at least 6.75 percent for any earnings above …$20,000. But if those hard-pressed wage-earners make their way to Nevada or Utah, they'll pay nothing in state income tax, and revel in their residence in one of eight states that avoid punishing earning and effort. Even in left-tilting Washington, voters in 2010 rejected (by nearly 2 to 1) a state income tax placed on the ballot by Bill Gates Sr.</div><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755855">There are no real political refugees within the United States, and few families move from one state to another to search for more congenial political leadership. Climate, family concerns, and job opportunities are all factors. But the contrasting cultures that state politics help to shape make a big difference in determining which parts of the nation seem more or less promising to potential migrants. With the Gallup poll showing self-described “conservatives” outnumbering self-proclaimed “liberals” by nearly 2 to 1 (41 percent to 21 percent) it's not surprising that states with pro-business, pro-family attitudes draw disproportionate numbers of new arrivals. At the same time, it makes sense that those states with aggressive, intrusive bureaucracies, high taxes, and relentless experiments in multiculturalism will encourage mass departures.</div><div id="yiv1173598824yui_3_3_0_1_13145442353755546">The millions of resettlers who move their families to more sympathetic venues surely feel motivated by personal considerations more than ideology, but they still play a role in reshaping the nation's political future. For generations, conservatives tried to convince doubters that their ideas were right in some ultimate, philosophical sense. Now, with countless frustrated families making fresh starts in right-leaning states, they've obviously made the case that in the real world, it's the conservative approach that works.</div></div><div></div><br />__________________________________________________________________________________ <br />August 26, 2011 <br /><br /><span id="yiv1467933453role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"></span><br /><div><span id="yiv1467933453role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>VINEYARD VIBES:</b> On his last full day of vacation, President Obama will get a one-page letter from Speaker Boehner (signed, "John") arguing that the number of planned administration regulatory actions with a significant impact on jobs and the economy has spiked since last year.

The report notes Chinese leaders are driving hard toward achieving a set of “economic and military benchmarks” by the end of this decade, and concludes Beijing’s ultimate goal is to become “a world-class economic and military power by 2050.” The 2011 report to Congress on the Asian giant’s military might and objectives was delivered to Capitol Hill and publicly released Wednesday, more than 170 days after it was due.In the report, the Pentagon says China is increasingly confident of its position on the world stage. <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rif8facab&amp;et=1107295018639&amp;s=46941&amp;e=001uMJXbpw0yuV8pJ6IGhLyRBVJ68oOGcll-gP6DqqHIHLDQFA6n3BxsU2UnHmvPY2QYnHzIGGYmSFbrKBHTzuSPYW36eQHkWCz3XCidsy7Gnwq6k_susvynkBQbFkETONcwgCCaPs-y1taHvlR0ocyO6rdkbZA0jim_8IO0vZEHAUDxZSeFauhLv5xm_To-Ue2S35789MGao0GxuCXhbEwGQb_diIE-dqEx1ryvhcIj9p1JAp-1cP4PiYa6aKwjzIKsFcb5XlZs2UQbLSYADTLhw==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rif8facab&amp;et=1107295018639&amp;s=46941&amp;e=001uMJXbpw0yuV8pJ6IGhLyRBVJ68oOGcll-gP6DqqHIHLDQFA6n3BxsU2UnHmvPY2QYnHzIGGYmSFbrKBHTzuSPYW36eQHkWCz3XCidsy7Gnwq6k_susvynkBQbFkETONcwgCCaPs-y1taHvlR0ocyO6rdkbZA0jim_8IO0vZEHAUDxZSeFauhLv5xm_To-Ue2S35789MGao0GxuCXhbEwGQb_diIE-dqEx1ryvhcIj9p1JAp-1cP4PiYa6aKwjzIKsFcb5XlZs2UQbLSYADTLhw==">Read the full story here.</a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"> </span><br /><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>CBO sees decade of $3.5T in deficits, sluggish GDP growth </b></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">The Congressional Budget Office on Wednesday estimated deficits over the next 10 years will total $3.5 trillion, about half of what was projected at the beginning of the year. The budget office also estimates this year’s deficit will run $1.284 trillion, $116 billion less than what was forecast in March. The better forecast is due to two factors, CBO said. It reflects cuts mandated by the debt ceiling deal signed into law earlier this year, and interest rate payments on the debt that are expected to be lower. <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rif8facab&amp;et=1107291792975&amp;s=46941&amp;e=0017IXp3P8dLwLQvtWoRkvl2NoBwwLC1l6eNmmRteWJOa5tly1H4DTIGjTPITZJWQGNrixQpNlklx3KCBTp6rnQ1UIcNLOQ5izTPdg7oc-auHyf-H9xLIUJ7AMhXyABgkm2bAnJlNeRHLrkmgXDunoeKuJz1G2Pj7V9bSVSJxHgEMbsXX1y7SDwWyZcaN2dCVE-3YDhRo0ZKygjIPU_SO123w==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rif8facab&amp;et=1107291792975&amp;s=46941&amp;e=0017IXp3P8dLwLQvtWoRkvl2NoBwwLC1l6eNmmRteWJOa5tly1H4DTIGjTPITZJWQGNrixQpNlklx3KCBTp6rnQ1UIcNLOQ5izTPdg7oc-auHyf-H9xLIUJ7AMhXyABgkm2bAnJlNeRHLrkmgXDunoeKuJz1G2Pj7V9bSVSJxHgEMbsXX1y7SDwWyZcaN2dCVE-3YDhRo0ZKygjIPU_SO123w==">Read the full story here.</a><br /></span><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div><br /><div></div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Bank of China Profit Rises 28%</b></span><br />Bank of China, the country's largest foreign-exchange lender, said its first-half net profit rose a higher-than-forecast 28%, buoyed by increased lending income and fee-based businesses like trade finance.<br /><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904787404576528080725486082.html?mod=djemTMB_t" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904787404576528080725486082.html?mod=djemTMB_t</a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div></div><div></div><div></div><b><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rif8facab&amp;et=1107289505525&amp;s=46941&amp;e=001TXaiNSOJTix49cXzxn-EldMBXrXW59frdvkE6YYDSMOCxoYpXuPrvdkG1fbtVDWJZ8qTN25NLD92lsFRYXj-V17Ac2Tbza1AvsKUAY_oapbqkN2FSm-YF_p2GrT0sXqW3HOPs-u-qnfjC8MpWwNX_XH7laQATtao553YhaUO0uZRGy2mYW5JpJKur8wyT736AUpChiDj1K_DiHlufFQLn9PGbE7hTaTL" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rif8facab&amp;et=1107289505525&amp;s=46941&amp;e=001TXaiNSOJTix49cXzxn-EldMBXrXW59frdvkE6YYDSMOCxoYpXuPrvdkG1fbtVDWJZ8qTN25NLD92lsFRYXj-V17Ac2Tbza1AvsKUAY_oapbqkN2FSm-YF_p2GrT0sXqW3HOPs-u-qnfjC8MpWwNX_XH7laQATtao553YhaUO0uZRGy2mYW5JpJKur8wyT736AUpChiDj1K_DiHlufFQLn9PGbE7hTaTL"><span style="font-size: small;">The Hill: Obama effort to woo independents derailed by debt-ceiling deal</span></a></b><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span>The unpopular debt-ceiling deal has significantly hampered President Obama’s effort to win over independent voters.</div><div><div><br /></div><b><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rif8facab&amp;et=1107289505525&amp;s=46941&amp;e=001TXaiNSOJTixiBM1C7W5Cn_yKz8Xew_Q2mjDAbyM85aXFUs99-voWO7ov0VBClhKfERk5AVch2UgWqUYl1ZvMHabaCEiohV46S3anCtJRhZHwVDKAnJmUrxCd3K_1oD0eSmaqC3vBF74F_OTrMHFUSzdqmzeJVb-9JHY2f9gdqYqzBlzNkpnsKPllhR4rDpMOqzQMQR9a5wXsLlH8HuT8ncVAjHDNull22_vm_m3p1U8Sumv9tR2J1g==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rif8facab&amp;et=1107289505525&amp;s=46941&amp;e=001TXaiNSOJTixiBM1C7W5Cn_yKz8Xew_Q2mjDAbyM85aXFUs99-voWO7ov0VBClhKfERk5AVch2UgWqUYl1ZvMHabaCEiohV46S3anCtJRhZHwVDKAnJmUrxCd3K_1oD0eSmaqC3vBF74F_OTrMHFUSzdqmzeJVb-9JHY2f9gdqYqzBlzNkpnsKPllhR4rDpMOqzQMQR9a5wXsLlH8HuT8ncVAjHDNull22_vm_m3p1U8Sumv9tR2J1g=="><span style="font-size: small;">The Hill: White House unveils plans to trim regs, save at least $10 billion</span></a></b><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div><br />The Obama administration on Tuesday announced plans to streamline hundreds of regulations across all government departments and said that the review will “likely” save at least $10 billion over five years.<br /><div></div><div></div><div><b><span style="font-size: small;">Taxes and Jobs, Cause and Effect.

Mercury, smog, ozone, greenhouse gases, water intake, coal ash—it’s all getting regulated. And, not surprisingly, some lawmakers are grumbling.</span> <span style="font-size: small;">Industry groups such the Edison Electric Institute, which represents investor-owned utilities, and the American Legislative Exchange Council have dubbed the coming rules </span><a href="http://www.alec.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=EPATrainWreck&amp;Template=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&amp;ContentID=15348" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0c4790; font-size: small;">“EPA’s Regulatory Train Wreck.”</span></a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"> The regulations, they say, will cost utilities up to $129 billion and force them to retire one-fifth of coal capacity. Given that coal provides 45 percent of the country’s power, that means higher electric bills, more blackouts and fewer jobs. The doomsday scenario has alarmed Republicans in the House, who have been scrambling to block the measures. Environmental groups retort that the rules will bring sizeable public health benefits, and that industry groups have been exaggerating the costs of environmental regulations since they were first created.</span> So, who’s right? This month, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, which conducts policy research for members of Congress, has been circulating a paper that tries to calmly sort through the shouting match. <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/677-e2-wire/177467-crs-industry-studies-predicting-trainwreck-from-epa-rules-are-overblown" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0c4790;">Thanks</span></a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div>to <i>The Hill</i>’s Andrew Restuccia, <a href="http://www.lawandenvironment.com/uploads/file/CRS-EPA.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0c4790;">it’s now available </span></a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div>(PDF) for all to read. And the upshot is that CRS is awfully skeptical of the “train wreck” predictions.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7427744516314418078&amp;postID=846599361772251477" name="pagebreak" rel="nofollow"></a> First, the report agrees that the new rules will likely force the closure of many coal plants between now and 2017, although it’s difficult to know precisely how many. For green groups, that’s a feature, not a bug: Many of these will be the oldest and dirtiest plants around. About 110 gigawatts, or one-third of all coal capacity in the United States, came online between 1940 and 1969. Many of these plants were grandfathered in under the Clean Air Act, and about two-thirds of them don’t have scrubbers:<br /><span class="yiv764167761imgfull"><img align="bottom" border="0" src="http://www.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_606w/WashingtonPost/Content/Blogs/ezra-klein/StandingArt/old%20coal%20plants.JPG?uuid=odjvRsp1EeC7uimV3gtNRQ" width="454" /><br /><span class="yiv764167761blog_caption">(FGD = Flue Gas Desulfurization, SCR = Selective Catalytic Reduction) </span></span><br />CRS notes that many of the plants most affected by the new EPA rules were facing extinction anyway: “Many of these plants are inefficient and are being replaced by more efficient combined cycle natural gas plants, a development likely to be encouraged if the price of competing fuel—natural gas—continues to be low, almost regardless of EPA rules.” <br />Still, that’s a lot of plants. Won’t this wreak havoc on the grid? Not necessarily, the CRS report says, although the transition won’t be simple. For one, most of these plants don’t provide as much baseload power as it appears on first glance—pre-1970 coal plants operating without emissions controls are in use, on average, only about 41 percent of the time. Second, the report notes that “there is a substantial amount of excess generation capacity at present,” caused by the recession and the boom in natural gas plants. Many of those plants can pitch in to satisfy peak demand. Third, electric utilities can add capacity fairly quickly if needed — from 2000 to 2003, utilities added more than 200 gigawatts of new capacity, far, far more than the amount that will be lost between now and 2017.<br />Granted, those upgrades and changes won’t be free. The CRS report doesn’t try to independently evaluate the costs of the new rules, noting that they will depend on site-specific factors and will vary by utility and state. (Matthew Wald recently <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/12/business/energy-environment/new-rules-and-old-plants-may-strain-summer-energy-supplies.html?_r=1&amp;partner=rss&amp;emc=rss&amp;pagewanted=all" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0c4790;">wrote a helpful piece</span></a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div>in <i>The New York Times </i>looking at how utilities might cope.) But, the report says, industry group estimates are almost certainly overstated. For one, they were analyzing early EPA draft proposals, and in many cases, the agency has tweaked its rules to allay industry concerns. And many of the EPA’s rules are almost certain to get bogged down in court or delayed for years, which means that utilities will have more time to adapt than they fear. The CRS report also agrees with green groups that the benefits of these new rules shouldn’t be downplayed. Those can be tricky to quantify, however. In one example, the EPA <a href="http://www.epa.gov/airtransport/pdfs/FactsheetTR7-6-10.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0c4790;">estimates</span></a><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div>that an air-transport rule to clamp down on smog-causing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide would help prevent 21,000 cases of bronchitis and 23,000 heart attacks, and save 36,000 lives. That’s, at the high end, $290 billion in health benefits, compared with $2.8 billion per year in costs (according to the EPA) by 2014. “In most cases,” CRS concludes, “the benefits are larger.” <br /><div id="yui_3_2_0_5_13140289181941082">Granted, few would expect this report to change many minds in Congress.

Republicans are threatening to line up against him, in a stand that would leave them open to charges of favoring higher taxes on the vast majority of the nation's taxpayers. At issue is the expiring cut to the obscure but impactful "payroll tax," a tax reduction approved with little fanfare as part of a broader tax deal late last year. Normally, workers pay 6.2 percent of their income into a Social Security fund, with employers paying a matching 6.2 percent. But this year, workers' share has been cut a full 2 percentage points. That means an extra $1,000 in the pocket of a taxpayer who is earning $50,000 this year, up to a total savings of $2,136 for those who make $106,800 or more -- the threshold beyond which earnings are not taxed for Social Security. The president wants that tax cut extended by another year, a proposal he mentioned in his weekend radio address and that will be part of the White House's larger job creation package this fall. Some congressional Republicans, meanwhile, are vowing to oppose another temporary payroll tax cut, even as they pursue other tax cuts that would affect far fewer -- and far wealthier -- Americans. That situation has leading Democrats sensing an opportunity for the president to turn the tax tables on Republicans. Their calculation: that voters will see Republican tax-cutting efforts as giveaways to special interests, while Democrats fight against them for tax cuts that would actually put dollars in the pockets of families." <a href="http://abcn.ws/qkRgxw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://abcn.ws/qkRgxw">http://abcn.ws/qkRgxw</a><br /></span></span><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div><span id="yiv150048543role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span id="yiv150048543rolx_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Maxine Waters&nbsp;says "The Tea Party can go straight to Hell'</b></span><br /><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20095373-503544.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20095373-503544.html">http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20095373-503544.html</a><br /></span></span><br /><div style="cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; height: 16px; width: 16px;"></div><span id="yiv150048543role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span id="yiv150048543rolx_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br clear="all" /><br /></span></span><br /><div id="yui_3_2_0_5_1314028537131124"><span id="yiv150048543role_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span id="yiv150048543rolx_document" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><b>ANTHONY WEINER LEAVES ANGER AT OBAMA IN HIS WAKE.</b> "Of all the places to hear fulminations against&nbsp;President Obama, one of the least expected is the corner of 71st Avenue and Queens Boulevard, in the heart of a Congressional district that propelled Democrats like Geraldine A. Ferraro, Charles E. Schumer and&nbsp;Anthony D. Weiner&nbsp;to Washington," The New York Times' Michael Barbaro notes. "But it was there that Dale Weiss, a 64-year-old Democrat, approached the Republican running for Congress in a special election and, without provocation, blasted the president for failing to tame runaway federal spending. 'We need to cut&nbsp;Medicaid,' she declared, 'but he won't do that.' She shook her head in disgust. 'He is a moron.' After nodding approvingly for a time, the Republican candidate, Bob Turner, signaled for an assistant to cut off Ms. Weiss. Frustration with Mr. Obama is so widespread, he explained later, that he tries to limit such rants to about 30 seconds, or else they will consume most of his day. ? The Sept. 13 election for the Ninth Congressional District seat became vacant this summer when Mr. Weiner quit over an online sex scandal. The race was widely viewed as a sleepy sideshow ? a mere formality that would put&nbsp;David I. Weprin, a Democratic state assemblyman and heir to a Queens political dynasty, into a seat known for its deep blue hue. ? Instead, the race has become something far more unsettling to Democrats: a referendum on the president and his party that is highlighting the surprisingly raw emotions of the electorate." <a href="http://nyti.ms/r3idey" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://ts.go.com/bk?bs=1&amp;bj=81858987&amp;bu={12A8F92B-84E5-425B-AC7E-58D704AE54D3}&amp;bt=172108344">http://nyti.ms/r3idey</a></span></span></div></div><br /><br />___________________________________________________________________________________<br />August 20, 2011<br /><span id="yiv1798608674role_document" style="color: black;
