Treasury Overflowing
Some good news this morning, or bad news depending on how you look at it. After three years of increased budget deficits (that's the amount the federal government overspends every year,) Washington D.C. has gotten an unexpected gift from the taxpayers. According to the Treasury Department, in the April-June quarter, the federal government will swing from a projected deficit to a surplus, by some $54 billion. So where did the money come from? People paying their income taxes by the April 15th deadline, that's where. The overall yearly deficit is expected to be smaller. So what will Congress do with this unexpected windfall? Spend it, naturally. But the larger point here is twofold. One, the economy is firing on all cylinders, going like gangbusters. We are not in a recession anymore. Despite the left's insistence that there is some sort of economic crisis, there isn't. The economy is on fire, and the money flowing into the U.S. Treasury reflects that. Two, the federal government has plenty of money. We do not need to raise taxes...rather, we should be cutting them. Democrats and Republicans both like to operate under the assumption that spending can never be cut. Wrong. Overspending is the reason why we have a yearly deficit and a national debt, not under taxing. One might think the practical thing to do with this extra $54 billion is to pay down the debt. Watch for some in Congress to propose finding a way to spend it immediately.


Insurgents Going Under
The media in this country has made it a sport to trip all over themselves and report to us whenever something happens with the Islamic terrorists killing our troops in Iraq. Whatever incident, however small, must be reported as front page news. All of this goes to serve their anti-Bush, anti-Military agenda. They also want to make it look like we're losing the war in Iraq, which we clearly are not. Iraq is a nation the size of California, with 26 million people. If there is one "insurgent" (Islamic terrorist) attack, the media makes it sound like Armageddon is at hand. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are beating back the insurgency with relative ease. You may have heard the story the other day about how we just missed Zarqawi's hideout...to the point that we were able to grab his laptop and get everything off of it. But this week brought even better news. The U.S. Military seized a letter from Iraqi insurgents believed to be addressed to none other than Al-Qaeda ringleader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi himself. In that letter, they complained of low morale, saying "Morale is down and there is fatigue among mujahedeen ranks." Poor babies. Sounds like things aren't going too well down at Islamic death headquarters. The letter also complains about Zarqawi abandoning the rest of the insurgents during the Coalition's seige of Fallujah last year. It won't be long before there will be no more insurgency. Once this happens, expect the media and the Democrats to remind us that it could come back at any moment. After all, we know whose side they're on.

Not Just DeLay
The Washington Post is reporting that between January 2001 and December 2004, members of Congress flew on corporate-owned jets at least 360 times. Many of the corporations providing the free air travel are companies with business in front of Congress or the committees that those Congressmen serve on. Again, standard operating procedure. So whose doing it? Tom DeLay is one. House Majority Whip Roy Blunt is another. But next on the list? Well look here...it's none other than the Democratic Leader of the United States Senate, Mr. Harry Reid himself. Looks like Senator Reid took 38 such flights. How about that. The United States Congress is a parliament of whores. To single out Tom DeLay for something that other members do on a regular basis is just the kind of political dishonesty we have come to expect from the liberal establishment.
