As previously mentioned, I recieved my beatifully bound and printed blog from blog2print. Yesterday I spent a pleasanr hour or two reading all my posting since 2007. A few comments on that: There were about 140 real blogs ( 20 false starts ). Many of the posting were brilliant or near brilliant but some were really lousy. I also noticed that recently I have been blogging only once in a while and I intend to do more of this in the future.
I have a blog all hand written and ready to go but discovered that much of it has already been covered over the years, This unposted blog was to be about our stupid government and I listed 14 stupidities. When trying to figure out how to write such a blog without going into too much detail, I found that I was not able to read my writing on 4 of them. It was to become 1o stupidities. I found that most of the ten were enacted with the best of intentions and every one of them backfired. Herewith are the ten listed without comment:
Earned income credit
Minimum wage
Food stamps
Unemployment payments
Cost of living adjustments
Peace corp and Americorp
Bailouts
Payments for puchases of autos and other items
Earmarks and other porkers
Foreign aid

Unemployment payments? Most of us have paid into that for years if I am not mistaken.
Bailouts and earmarks I agree.
Amy -- Your employer has paid into it, not you personally. The payments are made to both the state and the feds. An interesting thing happened this year - the fed rate is now higher than the state rate. First time since we have been in business (almost 10 years).
Dad, the idea behind the earned income credit is great -- the implementation, not so great...
