Unemployment up – nothing to see here… move along, shows over.

Private Sector Adds 67,000 Jobs

U.S. Economy Lost 54,000 Jobs in August; Unemployment Rate Rises to 9.6%

WASHINGTON — Job losses continued to mount in the U.S. economy last month, though at a more modest pace than expected, putting further pressure on policy makers to take action to spur growth and employment.

Nonfarm payrolls fell by 54,000 last month, matching the level of revised losses recorded the previous month, the U.S. Labor Department said Friday. The revision in July layoffs to 54,000 followed an original estimate of a 131,000 drop in payrolls.

Really are you shocked we’re still losing jobs under Obama? I know of no employer brave enough to add jobs or expand operations – most are hoarding what little money that are making along with doing the hide and watch – no one I know feels the economy is healthy enough to invest in or grow business in.

But don’t you worry this is the SUMMER OF RECOVERY! We are on the road to wealth and riches beyond our wildest dreams – the TRILLION dollar stimulus is working and if you believe in of that I have some swamp land land in Texas to sell you – cheap.

You know what can I say that hasn’t been said? Obama couldn’t effectively run a lemonade stand better yet the American economy so all we can do is keep him from reaping anymore damage on the country and try an fix it when he is tossed from office and yet this White house still wants you to believe that what they are doing is working? Please…

Joe ‘Bite Me’ Biden verses the Reality

First I want to say that I truly hope Joe Biden gets help for his drug problem – clearly after many of his remarks, he’s on them. Get help Joe – you need it.

Anyway I guess you heard what Bite Me said now…

Biden: ‘We’ve seen this movie before’

“For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground,” he said. “We’ve seen this movie before, Mr. Boehner. We’ve seen it before and we know how it ends.”

Really?

Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was “no doubt we’re moving in the right direction.”

Problem is they’ve never said which direction they hope to go – if it’s down then that’s a true statement, otherwise it’s a lie.

Yeah that prior eight year really sucked deficit wise compared to Obama – what about unemployment? (NOTE: Bush spent way more than I liked but he was a rank amateur compared to Obama’s spending.)

Gee seems the unemployment under Bush was on average about 5.3% and under Obama it has been on average above 9.5% with a real unemployment rate is way over double that at 22% yeah the good old days they were horrible – if you were HOPING to be unemployed – but don’t worry Obama CHANGED that. Now unemployment is easy.

Well I’m sure Obama’s tax plan will make everything OK – right?

Obama’s Tax Plan: Bad for Economic Growth

Small businesses that employ the most workers would be particularly hard-hit if the top income tax rates go up.

Ok – well I was wrong about that – what else? Well BiteMe let’s have a look at some of the great leap forwards under Dopey and Thief…

Foreclosure rates surge, biggest jump in 5 years

More homes were taken over by banks and scheduled for a foreclosure sale than in any quarter going back to at least January 2005, when RealtyTrac began reporting the data, the firm said.

U.S. Bankruptcy Rate Skyrockets

The financial crisis just won’t go away. It has manifested itself in the poor performance of the housing market, the failure of hundreds of banks and an unemployment surge. One more problem that has emerged as a result of the recession is the soaring rate of bankruptcy filings across the nation. Bankruptcy filings rose by 20% in the past year, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. A stunning total surpassing 1.5 million bankruptcy cases were processed between June 2009 and June 2010, up from about 1.3 million in the prior 12-month period.

CD Rates are Falling: Bad News for Savers

The news of low overall interest rates could be good for borrowers and not so good for savers. Borrowers can look forward to paying lower fees when returning money on a loan which will them help pay off debt more quickly.

Savers are not so lucky. If you are living on a budget and stashing away money for later in CDs, you will not see high returns on those accounts. Many economists don’t see the problem improving in upcoming years. It can be frustrating if you are attempting to be responsible with your finances but not seeing much in return.

Food stamp use hit record 40.8m in May (2010)

The number of Americans who are receiving food stamps rose to a record 40.8 million in May as the jobless rate hovered near a 27-year high, the government reported yesterday.

Number of Houston homeless children increasing at rapid rate

According to statistics released in 2009 by the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County, 2,891 homeless children lived in the Houston area. That number has nearly doubled in 2010, as 5,404 children have been reported homeless so far this year.

The number of Americans who are receiving food stamps rose to a record 40.8 million in May as the jobless rate hovered near a 27-year high, the government reported yesterday.

Tell me Joe do I really need to go on? We are on to your bullshit delusional lies and propaganda that things are better now than they were under Bush – Obama and Biden cannot point to a single success that their policies have yielded – not one! Oh the liberals will say the auto bailout was a success… really is it? GM is desperate to shake the “Government Motors” image and get out from under their thumb. How about the “Cash for Clunkers” program it was a fail. Oh they will say that Obama’s long delayed surge in Afghanistan was a success – a surge that fell 10′s of 1000′s of troops short resulting in a troop death increased to record levels under Obama. So tell me Joe what have you and the other idiot in office done that has worked? Where are the jobs? Where is the growth? Where is the booming economy? How about a easy one for the great communicator – foreign policy – how’s that working out? Not to good huh? So where are your successes Joe, where?

Don’t buy anything that comes out of this administration – the only truth I’ve heard is the claim of the “Fundamental Transformation of America” they just didn’t finish the sentence which said… ‘into a third world, third rate country.’

Yeah Joe, we’ve seen this movie you speak of before and you have too and it was shown in November 1994 and it will see it again this November when you tax and spend progressive morons are sent packing back under the rock from which you came. Remember Joe – what Nancy Reagan said “Just say no to drugs.” It’s good advice, take it.

Reality just ate Biden’s lunch.

Let there be pain…

I know I haven’t posted in a few day – there has a been a lot going on that I really wish wasn’t, but tis life. I will not get into the who, what, when, where and why’s I will only say I pity the fool that crosses me.

So anyway, I stated this last week…

I don’t know about you but I’m sick of working my ass off to pay Federal government employees to set around and surf for porn, I’m sick of watching the Obama’s go on vacation after vacation and sending the tax payer the bill, I’m sick of seeing politicians go to Washington an average Joe (or Jane) and come back disconnected millionaires,  I’m sick of knowing that the average Federal government employee that works for us lowly tax payers makes on average twice what that of the average American and I’m sick of paying for the dead-weight and dredges of society to set around with their hand out looking for more. So I say start trimming the fat, start culling the slackers, start cleaning the house and let the pain begin – we tax payers have suffered long enough so to hell with share the wealth – it’s time to share the pain.

It seems every time the government talk about pain and sacrifice it never applies to them, it never applies to those with their hands out, it never applies to the career politician and it never applies to the L.I.F.E.R federal workers – (what’s a LIFER you may ask – it’s a military term for “Lazy Inconsiderate F***er’s Expecting Retirement”) Nope it only applies to the already over taxed worker in the 53 percentile that is just trying to get ahead. Well it’s time it stops and it’s time to start the sharing the wealth of the pain with those in Washington and the ones with their grubby little paws out chanting gemme, gemme, gemme. Let us check out a few links…

On occasion you’ll hear them talk about cutting entitlements out one side of their mouth while talking about expanding them out the other.

Dems may use food stamp money to pay for Michelle Obama’s nutrition initiative

Democratic leaders have voiced the hope that they will be able to stop them in future legislation.

And that’s all you need to know – they talk a big game and then quietly back track into wasting more money all a long. So while the Dems talk about cutting food stamps, just to turn around and talk about not cutting them – across the aisle the GOP wants to end anchor babies which I think most of us are all for according to most polls.

Boehner has said ending anchor babies is worth considering…

Boehner: End to Birthright Citizenship ‘Worth Considering’

House Minority Leader John Boehner on Sunday said he’s open to talks on changing the U.S. Constitution — or at least the way it’s interpreted — so that U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are not automatically U.S. citizens.

“I think it’s worth considering,” Boehner said.

It’s not worth considering, it’s worth doing – no other country on earth allows you to become a citizen just by being born there – its time to end anchor babies. It’s time to send the illegal back from where they came and if the Federal government won’t do it, it’s time the states take charge and do the job the American Federal government doesn’t want to do – to toss their own turn a phrase in their face.

Anchor babies 8% of births in U.S. annually

As the phenomenon of so-called “anchor babies” — infants born to illegal aliens within the United States and its territories that automatically become citizens — becomes more of an election issue in many localities, a Pew poll reveals that 8 percent of babies born each year in the U.S. are anchor babies.

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, approximately 340,000 of the 4.3 million babies born in the United States in 2008 were the children of illegal aliens, many of whom emanate from Mexico.

In my world that qualifies as a invasion – and for me it doesn’t matter what country they come from Mexico, Canada, China, England etc – come to this country legally or get out – period.

And that’s just the start of it illegal cost the taxpayer an unbelievable amount of money.

Staggering Cost Of Illegal Aliens In America Taxpayers Taken To The Cleaners

This is not new it’s from 2008

The NRC found that the average immigrant household receives $13,326 in federal welfare and pays $10,664.00 in federal taxes. Thus, American taxpayers shell out $2,682.00 for each immigrant household.

In addition, the report showed that immigrants affect 15 different executive agencies of the U.S. government.

Earned Income Tax Credit-fraud is rampant and IRS does little to verify existence of children. Clean Air and Climate Change-these goals are unattainable as long as US population grows-driven by unending immigration. Emergency medical treatment-US taxpayer money provides $250 million a year to help hospitals defray costs for illegal aliens. Bureau of Land Management-the Interior Department spends $1 million to mitigate environmental damage done by illegals crossing US southern border. Migrant educational grants-intended to help states educate children of illegal workers. More fraud from over-counting. Office of Foreign Labor Certification-immigrant workers depress wages for US citizens resulting in declines in federal revenues at $100 billion annually.

So taking into account the amount of money being wasted on illegals – it’s time to cull the dead weight from the multitude of government hand out programs, it’s time to reduce food stamps and limit them to a few basic choices, it’s time to end government housing, government payments and provide those that are already lazy a way to stay that way. It’s not just illegals it’s mostly moocher Americans too.

It’s time to end endless unemployment do to tax and spend, anti business liberals – I have people ask me on occasion if I’d hire them and pay them cash so they can continue to draw their unemployment and they want $10, $15, $20 hour cash which is good money around here – to which I say if I hire you then you are no longer unemployed and if I find out you’re working for cash I’ll report you and who ever employs you as you are stealing from me – so you can get off the government tit and stop trying to double dip. Seriously who wants to hire anyone that has been slacking for over two years? I know I don’t.

But what do the idiot liberals do, extent unemployment again and again enabling the entitlement mentality to become ingrained.

These people in the White House promised that if the government spent a trillion of your dollars on stimulus unemployment would NOT go over 8% – well it did and it remains there and while the Moron in charge continues to blame Bush that excuse is running thin even with his base, most people don’t want excuses they want results…

Jobless millions signal death of the American dream for many

The headline jobless figure of 9.5% is bad enough but does not begin to convey the problem as it fails to measure those who have stopped looking for work. Over the past three months alone more than a million Americans have fallen into that category: effectively giving up hope of finding a job and dropping out of the official statistics. Such cases now number some 5.9 million and their ranks are likely to grow as millions more find their jobless status becoming a permanent state of hopelessness. Surveys show that with each passing week on the dole their chances of finding a job get slimmer.

How that HOPE and Change working out for you?

But aside from those that want to work verses those that want to mooch off the tit – the reality is nothing this man child has done has worked because he is clueless to basic business intelligence. Good Lord the man child never even had a paper route better yet ran an actual business.

So before I go all A.D.D. and get off the subject at hand I have to ask if Obama says America can no longer be the economic super power of the world, the driving force behind the worlds engine then how is it we can continue to afford to pay people to be worthless slugs? The money is not there, the money has been spend and the days of being spend happy drunkards are over it’s time to sober up cut the spending and pay the bills.

But to be clear…

Is every one getting help from the government a worthless mooch – no they are not but it’s a lot easier to find a system gamer or a fraud than it is to find someone who actually needs help – I say let charities and churches help those actually in need until we weed out the worthless as they are in a better position to weed out the fakes quickly without bureaucracy. The government on the other hand wants as many as dependent as they can get because when the government controls your money they control your life and political cowards want nothing more than a dependent masses – freedom is a threat to tyranny.

The pain of relearning self reliance must begin, it’s one thing to have a safety net for when you fall it’s another entirely to land on a Sleep Comfort bed – it’s been my experience in life that when you fall it hurts and you learn not to trip again – there are no lessons being taught today, they is no real pain in failure and there should be – sometime the failure is your fault, sometimes it’s not – that’s life and life is not fair and the soon people begin to relearn that basic fact the quicker this country gets back on the road.

Obama says it’s the Republicans that drove us into a ditch and now they want the keys back, he claim we are back on the road and he doesn’t think they need the keys back – well if this is the road I’d love to see their map, but I’ve got a pretty good idea what map they’re using and you’ll never get anyplace in America using a map of Europe or Russia where it seems Obama thinks we are.

President Handout losing the Poor

Even the Poor Are Abandoning Obama, According to Gallup Poll Data

In every week of his presidency until now, Barack Obama has enjoyed a majority approval rating in the Gallup Poll from people earning less than $2,000 per month. But that changed in the Gallup survey conducted from Aug. 2-8, when only 49 percent of Americans in that income bracket said they approve of the job Obama is doing.

I know a number of people making less than $20,000.00 a year – I even know several making less than $10,000.00 a year and out of those people I know a few who are sadly Obama fans, but when I explain what Obama is doing to damage the economy and how and keep the class warfare debate out of it and speak straight from an economic point of view they seems a little less impressed with The One – it seems from this latest poll they are others catching on.

For the week of Aug. 2-Aug. 8, only 42 percent of Americans earning $7,500 per month or more said they approve of the job Obama is doing. Forty-four percent of those earning between $5,000 and $7,499 said they approve of the job he is doing. And forty-six percent of those earning between $2,000 and $4,999 said they approve of the job he is doing.

This prove my theory that 2 out of 5 people are complete idiots and there really should be a season on them.

The higher the income bracket an American occupies, the sooner he or she was likely to stop approving of the job Obama was doing and the more likely he or she was to stop approving of the job Obama was doing.

The higher the income bracket the more likely they pay taxes – so I think “duh” covers that paragraph.

In May 2009, when Obama’s approval rating was at its peak among those earning less than $2,000 per month, the national unemployment rate was at 9.4 percent. It is now at 9.5 percent.

It’s a good thing we passed that trillion dollars in stimulus bill to keep it under 8% isn’t it? Oh wait…

Where does the money come from? Not Obama.

Where are the crackers?

30,000 line up for housing vouchers, some get rowdy

Thirty thousand people showed up to receive Section 8 housing applications in East Point Wednesday, suffering through hours in the hot sun, angry flare-ups in the crowd and lots of frustration and confusion for a chance to receive a government-subsidized apartment.

The massive event sometimes descended into a chaotic mob scene filled with anger and impatience. Some 62 people needed medical attention and 20 of them were transported to a hospital, authorities said. A baby went into a seizure in the heat and was stabilized at a hospital. People were removed on stretchers and when a throng of people who had been waiting hours in a line were told to move to another line, people started pushing, shoving and cursing, witnesses said.

I guess the loony left will call me a racist if I point out that the crowd appears to be 100% Black, so I won’t.

Kim Lemish, executive director of the East Point Housing Authority, said the event marked the first time the city has offered Section 8 housing applications since 2002. The waiting list that lasted eight years had depleted, she said, and the agency was beginning a new one. So people braved all the physical difficulties just to get on a waiting list that could keep them waiting for years.

Lemish said the agency had expected about 10,000 people but three times as many showed up. Many were just accompanying those looking for an application. Some 13,000 applications were handed out.

(Said in my best Oliver Twist voice) Please sir, may I have some more handouts?

You know I could go on a long rant about enabling people to be dependent slugs but I’d be preaching to the choir and unlike the slacker that have all day to stand around looking for handouts I have a job and there are people that depend on my job for there job and people that depend on them to eat so I don’t have time to worry about the poor and downtrodden that do nothing to better their own life’s on their own without a handout from those that work and pay taxes.

Are federal workers overpaid?

Are federal workers overpaid?

WASHINGTON – When it comes to pay, federal workers receive benefits that averaged about $41,791 in 2009. When you factor in salaries and those benefits, which include pensions, federal civil servants earned about $123,049 in 2009.

By comparison, private workers made $61,051 in total compensation, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Let me answer the question as clearly as possible … YES

Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, tells USA TODAY the data are not useful in a direct public to private pay comparison.

Public union employees say the gap reflects the growing skill and education levels needed for most federal jobs, while the government farms out lower paid jobs to the private sector.

Well surprise, surprise a Union boss thinks they have skills and education – yep it take a lot of skills to set all day and surf for porn and I takes even more education to fill up you hard drive with it and then burn it to disc just to store in your office. That’s Ivy league genius at work there.

A budget analyst at the Cato Institute believes federal workers are overpaid.

Gee who to side with a Union entitlement boss or the Cato Institute… hmmm I’ll go with Cato.

Facts vs. Propaganda

First the FACTS -

Fed set to downgrade outlook for US

The Federal Reserve is set to downgrade its assessment of US economic prospects when it meets on Tuesday to discuss ways to reboot the flagging recovery.

Faced with weak economic data and rising fears of a double-dip recession, the Federal Open Market Committee is likely to ensure its policy is not constraining growth and to use its statement to signal greater concern about the economy. It is, however, unlikely to agree big new steps to boost growth.

From the White House the PROPAGANDA …

A Summer of Recovery

With tens of thousands of projects funded and millions of Americans on the job today, it’s hard to believe that it’s only been 16 months since President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. And with so many jobs saved and created already, you might think that the Recovery Act’s greatest impact is behind us.

But it’s not.

As the summer heats up, it is becoming clear that it could quite possibly be the most active season yet when it comes to recovering our economy. There are Recovery Act-funded projects breaking ground across the country that are creating quality jobs for Americans and economic growth for businesses, large and small.

This summer is sure to be a Summer of Economic Recovery.

From The Hill the assessment …

Obama tries to sell ‘recovery summer’ amid slow economy

President Barack Obama and his team are trying to sell Americans on an economic recovery this summer, but the economy is stubbornly refusing to cooperate.

Obama and his Cabinet officials will fan out across the country over the next few days to spread the message to voters about how effective their $787 billion recovery plan has been, an effort they’re calling “recovery summer.”

The administration’s message has run into several negative economic headwinds that have led to worries the economy is at risk of entering a double-dip recession, not a recovery.

So while Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the lying scumbags in the Democrat Party try to claim we are in recovery – the reality speak otherwise. Meanwhile while you scrap and struggle to get buy the Obama’s live large on your money.

Hillary Clinton the BIG SPENDER

Let them eat falafel

Clinton texts a $10 donation to Pakistan flood relief

Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton texted a $10 donation to flood relief efforts in Pakistan on Wednesday, saying that she’s leading by example and pressing Americans to donate money

Funny how the democrats give out billions and billions of your tax dollars and then proclaim you aren’t giving enough and should be patriotic and give more – well leave it to Hillary to lead the way in giving with a massive $10.00 donation to the Pakistan flood relief effort. Meanwhile she and Billy Boy dropped something along the line of $3 to $5 million on their homely child Chelsea’s wedding.

If that is not the most pathetic thing I’ve heard – a multi-millionaire bragging about a $10.00 donation, but it’s probably more than the Obama’s gave and damn sure more than Biden gave.

You paid for it

I have a lot to say but I am to busy to post right now so here are some links of interest about your tax money being pissed away along with a couple of other things… (Hopefully I’ll get tie to write something meaningfully soon.)

Michelle Obama Criticized as “Modern-day Marie Antoinette” Over Spain Vacation

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reports the C-32A (757) the First Lady used to fly to Spain – one of the planes that usually serves as Air Force Two, and sometimes Air Force One – operates at a Department of Defense reimbursement rate of $11,351 per hour.

So a 6.5 hour flight to Spain would run $73,781.50 – double for the round trip.

US Postal Service loses $3.5 bln in third quarter

Revenue in the third quarter that ended June 30 fell $294 million to $16 billion from a year ago, while expenses were $789 million higher at $19.5 billion, due largely to higher workers’ compensation costs and retiree health benefits.

Fannie Mae Seeks $1.5 Billion From U.S. Treasury After 12th Straight Loss

Fannie Mae, the mortgage-finance company operating under federal conservatorship, is seeking $1.5 billion in aid from the U.S. Treasury Department after a 12th straight quarterly loss.

Food stamp use hit record 40.8m in May

An average of 40.5 million people, more than an eighth of the population, will get food stamps each month in the year that began Oct. 1, according to White House estimates.

The figure is projected to rise to 43.3 million in 2011.

GM donates $41,000 to lawmakers’ pet projects

The carmaker gave $41,000 to groups associated with lawmakers, the vast majority of it — $36,000 — to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the company reported on a disclosure form last week. The CBC Foundation is a charity with 11 members of the Congressional Black Caucus on its board.

Social Security in the red this year

Social Security will pay out more this year than it gets in payroll taxes, marking the first time since the program will be in the red since it was overhauled in 1983, according to the annual authoritative report released Thursday by the program’s actuary.

Meanwhile President Obama’s health care overhaul has given Medicare’s basic Hospital Insurance an extra 12 years of financial stability, though it did not solve all of the program’s long-term challenges.

Is Obama about to forgive billions in mortgage principal?

James Pethokoukis hears rumors of an August surprise coming from the White House, one that will attempt to win backs the hearts and minds of voters dismayed at the failing economic policies of the Obama administration.  With the government fully in control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Barack Obama may issue an order to forgive portions of underwater mortgages processed through the GSEs, where negative equity approaches $800 billion overall.  Some financial houses have begun quietly preparing for the possibility:

“Tax Cuts for the Rich” rebranded “Middle Class Tax Cuts”

Democrats to Propose Extending Middle-Class Tax Cuts

Senate Democrats will soon advance a plan to make permanent President George W. Bush’s 2001 tax cuts for middle-class Americans earning less than $200,000, but let the tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans expire, two Senate party aides said Tuesday. They will also propose to reinstate a 45% estate tax on individuals for the next two years.

Oh hell no – Obama and every damn Democrat have been calling the Bush Tax Cuts… “tax cuts for the rich” since the day Bush signed them  they never-ever mentioned tax cuts for people making less then $200,000 in fact they’ve painted them ONLY for the rich so not only does the truth come out they have now figured out when push comes to shove that raising taxes ACTUALLY hunts the economy – WOW who would have thunk it?

But as always the Democrats are laying a trap for the GOP…

Democrats are betting that Republicans will once again take up a legislative battle on behalf of the wealthy. “Republicans are going to have a real choice ahead of them,” says a Democratic aide. “Are you for extending these tax cuts for middle-class families or are you against them because you want to protect tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% of Americans?”

First of all two-thirds of the so-called wealthiest American are small business filing as a sole proprietorship’s on their personal 1040 – they are not wealthy, they are not rich and after all the overhead and taxes they are not even middle-class. I know a lot of small business people that make over $250K per year but that is in gross sales, now deduct about half of that for goods and services, now deduct contract labor, insurance, fees, permits, licenses, utilities, maintaining equipment, building cost, taxes and taxes and taxes etc etc etc and a lot of these guys are lucky to make $25K-$30K take home a year but they are being taxed at the highest “rich guy” rate and being labeled as evil by this administration.

90%…. 90% of all jobs are created by small business and this moron in the White House is doing every damn thing he can to kill small business. Raising taxes in this economy along with all the changes in the tax laws next year is going to be devastating to business.

As I’ve said a hundred times we do not need to raise taxes on the few – we need to tax the 47% of American that are currently not paying any taxes at all, they need to have some skin in the game. The people that have money i.e. the so-called rich are the very people the invest in business, expend business and hire people. No one ever got a job from a poor person and if Obama has his why we’ll all be poor. Currently we have a consumer based economy and we need to move away from that and get back to becoming a production based economy. I don’t need to remind you that when Reagan cut taxes after second worst President ever Jimmy Carter the economy took off and receipts to the government sky rocketed – now the worst President ever Barack Obama wants to raise taxes in a sinking economy – the man is an absolute idiot if not purposely killing our economy.

Some Democrats side with Republicans, distance themselves from Obama on extending Bush tax cuts
