budget

There is an Autumn budget due end of October 2018. Chancellor, Philip Hammond is strongly expected to decrease the tax-relief threshold from £40K per tax year, to just £30K. This will affect self-employed people, for example, who've ploughed their profits back into their business, and then...

The violent usurpers you call the federal congress have decided to reduce the amount of resources they steal from the American public by a paltry 111 billion dollars next year. The 2011 annual budget for the United States is 3.82 trillion in expenditures. The annual amount of money stolen from...

I've been speaking with a truther who has recently brought up the "more money was spent on the clinton/Lewinsky case than on 9/11" argument. I've asked him tons of questions on where he got the information and, he...well....it's very clear that he just parrots it from other sources and those...

Greetings I seem to remember someone listing the economic aftermath of 911 for Larry Silverstein, but I have not been able to retrace it despite attempts with the search function. If the info is easy to find and I just messed up, sorry. Feel free to move this thread to some trashcan and put a...

The Palestinian Authority (P.A.) is going hat-in-hand to a Paris "donors conference", requesting $5.5-Billion in aid. Who is going to verify that the money won't go directly to the purchase of weaponry that will be used against Israel? From News Reports coming out of Gaza today --- In Khan...

How about letting the many school accounting classes, which have to play with numbers anyway, get real world experience by "running the numbers" of their local school, and government budgets? This will help them learn how they both work, how much they cost, and where the money comes from. Can...

shocking...... oh well, at least i don't live in London :) http://sport.guardian.co.uk/london2012/story/0,,1949021,00.html

I'm a deficit hawk. I hate debt, on a personal level, and a national level. When GWB took office, we had a budget surplus. Even taking into account the phony accounting that makes "off budget" items not count, the national debt actually shrank in the last year of the Clinton administration...

Opening floor statement by Senator Conrad

Back in the 90's, when the balanced budget amendment was being debated in Congress, it had near universal support of Republicans and a few Democrats too. Who here supported the balanced budget amendment back then? Do you think balanced budgets matter now? Do you think we'd have a balanced...

So much for any thoughts of having a balanced budget or paying down the debt in the next Bush Administration:

President Bush's HUD budget proposal for fiscal year 2005 would eliminate 250,000 Section 8 vouchers immediately and eliminate 600,000 vouchers by 2009. The Bush Administration's budget recommendation is $1.6 billion below the necessary level to maintain current assistance for low-income...

FY 2005 Budget Request for Missile Defense: $10.2 billion FY 2005 Budget Request for Port Security grants: $46 million Comparing these two numbers directly will be somewhat inaccurate because the missle defense spending will produce benefits over some number of future years and most of the port...

http://www.nea.gov/news/news03/Budget.html This is strange. The NEA has always been such a republican target. Whats up with this move???? Maybe I can finnaly score a grant for my stick figure art! (Sundog will be so jealous!)

Why don't we hear about it anymore? If it had passed we'd still be subject to it. That's the b*tch about amending the Constitution.
