if all that spending is

"NEEDED"

why wont it be spent till 2015 and 2018?

Some names would be nice. For instance, is Turbo Tax Tim the Treasury Secretary still a tax cheat?

A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama’s executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. These people working for Mr. Fair Share apparently haven’t paid any share, let alone their fair share.

Previous reports have shown how well-paid Obama’s White House staff is, with 457 aides pulling down more than $37 million last year. That’s up seven workers and nearly $4 million from the Bush administration’s last year.

Nearly one-third of Obama’s aides make more than $100,000 with 21 being paid the top White House salary of $172,200, each.

The IRS’ 2010 delinquent tax revelations come as part of a required annual agency report on federal employees’ tax compliance. Turns out, an awful lot of folks being paid by taxpayers are not paying their own income taxes.

The report finds that thousands of federal employees owe the country more than $3.4 billion in back taxes. That’s up 3% in the past year.

Couple this news with the fact that 73% of all jobs created in the last five months have been government jobs. Are we creating more tax cheating bureaucrats at taxpayer expense?

We have more than the usual number of left-wing critics reading the site lately thanks to the union guy’s assault on Steven Crowder in Michigan. Any of you folks have anything to say about these Obama staffers owing back taxes? Can you find a way to blame this on Bush? Come on, be creative.

Where are you seeing that?

 

[mercury14]

The top few staffers in the White House only make $172k? And the average pay is only $80k? That's not very much money and probably far less than most of these people would be worth in the private sector. I'm completely fine with how much they're paid.

I posted a graph that showed different before you posted yours, mine is government sourced.

You pooh-pooh BLS stats all the time, but now, when it suits you, "government sourced" is suddenly legitimate?

You're so full of shit.

He also supports the type of hiring in recent years (mostly defense, intelligence, and other military support) but he decides to be outraged because Obama is in office.

If it doesn't show "federal" employees up, it's bullshit.

Some Spending in Sandy ‘Emergency’ Bill Doesn’t Start Until 2018


Republican senators like Arizona’s Jon Kyl and Alabama’s Jeff Sessions have objected to the large Hurricane Sandy relief package. President Obama has requested $60.4 billion in new spending, and they’re not convinced it needs to be quite so expensive. Oklahoma’s Tom Coburn also concerns, telling CNN today that “This is a stimulus bill, not an emergency bill,” and saying that nearly two thirds of the funding allocated by the bill wouldn’t actually get spent prior to 2015.

Well, turns out some of the money won’t won’t even get spent until after 2015. In an e-mail to reporters today, Taxpayers for Common Sense vice president Steve Ellis writes that some of the money isn’t marked for use until fiscal year 2019:

As we go through the bill, there’s a lot in here that isn’t emergency. For instance, 25 percent of the $10.8 billion in Federal Transit Administration funding won’t be spent until after fiscal year 2019! The Senate took the President’s request for $32 million for Amtrak and added a zero plus some more to come up with $336 million. Much of this is for a long-term project that has been in the works for year and has nothing to do with Sandy. There’s also policy provision that could have long consequences like the blanket, unlimited project authorization authority given to the Corps. This is an agency with a $60-70 billion backlog.

It’s one thing to argue money for Sandy victims needs to be authorized ASAP. But the Democrats are trying to cram in plenty of other goodies — ones that could be decided on after a more prolonged debate — in this bill.

This speculation on your part. I'll tell you this, I do not support hollowing out the military to fund welfare, like Obama/Carter does, and did.

Why is it speculation when I linked two sources for you a couple days ago. Something like 65k of the hires were in defense alone.

And nobody is hollowing out the military.

the defense and TSA shit were under Bush


we are talking Obama

 

[mercury14]

Liar, Obama and the Democrats are trying to hollow out the military so they can minimize cutting elsewhere. You lack the cajones to admit it.

If you're talking contractors that's apples and oranges. The reason we need so many contractors in the battle space is because Clinton hollowed out the Army in the 90s. Contractors are not federal employees.

The military is being drawn down because we no longer need 100k extra troops to occupy Iraq and (soon) Afghanistan. If you can make an argument why we need to add billions onto the deficit for military capability that we don't need, I'd love to hear it.
