Cut as necessary to balance the budget.

Agree. Job security should need to be earned.

You should be more sympathetic to the fact that "new hammer time" has been intellectually, physically, and emotionally crippled by his environment.

"New hammer time" is depraved because he is deprived.

WASHINGTON – House and Senate lawmakers are investigating a nearly $100 million shortfall at the federal Job Corps program that has prompted the Labor Department to freeze enrollment at all 125 job centers around the country.

Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., has called on the agency's inspector general to investigate what he called "serious questions about the management by the department" that will prevent 30,000 disadvantaged and at-risk youth from getting job training this year.

Last month, the Job Corps announced it would stop accepting any new enrollees from Jan. 28 until at least June 30. Some exceptions are being made for applicants who are homeless, runaways or in the foster care system.

Facebook Gets a Multibillion-Dollar Tax Break

By Peter Coy on February 15, 2013

It hasn’t drawn much attention, but Facebook’s first annual earnings report contains an accounting gem: a multibillion-dollar tax deduction for the cost of executive stock options and share awards.

Even though Facebook (FB) reported $1.1 billion in pre-tax profits from U.S. operations in 2012, it will probably pay zero federal and state taxes—and even receive a federal tax refund of about $429 million—according to a Feb. 14 statement from Citizens for Tax Justice.

The tax-research and -lobbying organization says companies such as Facebook should treat stock options the same in their reports to shareholders as they do in their tax filings. Citizens for Tax Justice calls the tax footnotes in Facebook’s Jan. 30 financial statement “an amazing admission,” but there’s nothing illegal about the breaks the company is claiming. Companies like Facebook are allowed to treat the cost of non-cash compensation, such as stock options, as an expense that reduces profits, essentially the way they treat cash compensation such as salaries.

The difference is that Facebook—unlike, say, General Motors (GM)—relies heavily on stock options and restricted stock units as a form of compensation. It paid out a lot during its years as a private company that it must now recognize on its income statement and balance sheet.

You won’t find any $429 million tax refund in Facebook’s financial statements. Indeed, the company says it had a $559 million federal tax liability in 2012. But that liability isn’t an actual payment. In a footnote, the company also said that it had a $1.03 billion “excess tax benefit” last year related to “stock option exercises and other equity awards.” That benefit is what flips the federal tax liability into a refund.(A small portion is applied against state taxes.)

Facebook says that it anticipates reducing its tax liability in the future by an additional $2.17 billion by using further net operating loss carry-forwards that it has banked.

Jane is correct Dupont. The difference today is Democrats are encouraging "illegal" immigrants to come/stay here and pandering immensely for their vote, regardless of the added expense to the rest of Americans. I think you know that so stop being so coy, and cut the nasty crap out, will ya? It just makes you look like and angry frustrated, low class person.

No, Jane and you for that matter are totally wrong. The Obama administration has deported 1.5 times as many illegal immigrants as the previous administration, concentrating on those who commit crimes.
How can the Democrats be pandering for the votes of people who don't vote? In case you've forgotten, to register to vote you need to be able to prove your citizenship.
Angry? No, anger is an expensive emotion that I'm not going to waste on insignificant ignorant people. I just call out people for what they are.
I didn't call you an idiot this time. Happy?

DEVOTIONS FOR COMMUNION

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ,
wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Hide me within Thy wounds.
Never permit me to be separated
from Thee.
From the malignant enemy, defend
me.
At the hour of my death, call me.
And bid me to come to Thee,
That with Thy saints, I may praise
Thee,
For everlasting ages. Amen.

NRA chief LaPierre claims 'looters ran wild in south Brooklyn' after Sandy, but Coney Island residents say he is full of it

To bolster his argument against gun control, NRA chief Wayne LaPierre fabricated a ‘hellish’ post-Sandy aftermath for south Brooklyn that never happened. He seems to forget that some New Yorkers were actually there.

NEW YORKERS took aim at NRA chief Wayne LaPierre’s bizarre claim that looters “ran wild in south Brooklyn” after Hurricane Sandy — and some even used the Kings English.

“He’s a f---ing idiot,” said Steven Feinstein, 66, owner of Wilensky Hardware in Coney Island — one of the neighborhoods that LaPierre claimed Wednesday became a “hellish world” of apocalyptic violence.“He makes it sound like it was the 1970s around here. That’s nonsense.”

In a column in the Daily Caller, a conservative website, LaPierre reiterated his call for more gun ownership — and cited the storm’s aftermath as a prime reason.

“There was no food, water or electricity,” LaPierre wrote.“And if you wanted to walk several miles to get supplies, you better get back before dark, or you might not get home at all.”

It sounded good. Too bad it’s not true, said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.

“(In) the 60th Precinct in Coney Island, it was hardly hell week — there were no murders, no rapes and no shootings,” he said.

The same was true in the neighboring 61st Precinct, where there were no murders, rapes or shootings.

There was a big spike in burglaries, as criminals picked through abandoned homes, Browne said. But all other crime categories were down.

Shootings were down 17%. Rape was down 47%. Robberies were down 22%. Assaults were down 18%. Grand larceny was down 45%. And car thefts were down 22%.

Overall, crime fell by 25%.

And Browne delivered another inconvenient truth for the NRA man — the city actually went a record eight straight days without a single murder.

LaPierre also made the preposterous claim that Mayor Bloomberg “refused to allow the National Guard into the city to restore civil order because Guardsmen carry guns!”

City officials dismissed that claim as more NRA nonsense and said there were plenty of armed National Guardsmen in the city in the aftermath of Sandy.

“Wayne’s world is a loopy place,” said Bloomberg spokesman John McCarthy.“New York is the safest big city in the country — thanks in part to our strong gun laws — and in the aftermath of Sandy, crime stayed at record lows. He should touch base with reality.”

Anti- American Socialist Democratic are trying to vote themselves a raise. Typical of the, communist minded people in Washington. They see themselves as rulers and us as property for them to use as they see fit.

The G.O.P.’s Nasty Newcomer

WHEN a Vesuvius like John McCain tells you that you belch too much smoke and spew too much fire, you know you’ve got a problem.

And Ted Cruz, a Republican freshman in the Senate who has been front and center in his party’s effort to squash Chuck Hagel’s nomination as secretary of defense, has a problem. He’s an ornery, swaggering piece of work. Just six weeks since his arrival on Capitol Hill, he’s already known for his naysaying, his nit-picking and his itch to upbraid lawmakers who are vastly senior to him, who have sacrificed more than he has and who deserve a measure of respect, or at least an iota of courtesy. Courtesy isn’t Cruz’s métier. Grandstanding and browbeating are.

He sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and during its final meeting on Tuesday about Hagel’s nomination, he made such nefarious and hectoring insinuations about Hagel’s possible corruption by foreign influences that McCain, who’d gleefully raked Hagel over the coals himself, more or less told Cruz to cool it. It was an unforgettable moment, and one that Republicans shouldn’t soon forget, because Cruz, 42, isn’t simply the latest overeager beaver to start gnawing his way through the halls of Congress. He’s a prime illustration of what plagues the Republican Party and holds it back.

Note in particular a Republican pollster’s recent interviews with Ohio voters. When the pollster asks them to play word association with “Republican,” the answers indeed include a few descriptions that the profiles of Rubio and Cruz push back against:“rich,”“white.” But the adjectives “rigid” and “polarizing” also come up, along with a lament about an “all-or-nothing” approach.
