As the Cornwall note is getting pretty stale I figured it
was time to start another topic.
I hear Vaseline sales are booming today, I guess most are
expecting a real good scr***ng tonight.

I was rather surprised...no real tax increases...no real spending cuts.
Capital gains got the axe.
$5 in cuts for every $1 in new taxes !!! This I'll believe when I see
it, along with the $ 40 B deficit. Any takers on this year going to
$ 50 B ???

Actually, I got the impression that they were deliberately being
cautious in their forecasting. The annual cahrade of demonstrating
that the deficit would be gone x years in the future, by playing
dishonest games with rosy scenarios, seemed to be missing.

I'm surprised that benefits such as dental coverage was not hit. Does
the dental industry have a powerful gov't lobby?
This might sound radical, but I would support a motion to drop dental
coverage as a job benefit if it were taxed. At least if we are going to
be robbed, let us have a choice as to which pocket they can put their
hands in.
