OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

Definition

Cost of Government Day (COGD) is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of spending and regulatory burdens imposed by government on the federal, state and local levels.

Cost of Government Day 2008

Cost of Government Day for 2008 is July 16.  Working people must toil on average 197 days out of the year just to meet all costs imposed by government.  In other words, the cost of government consumes 53.9 percent of national income.

Cost of Government: Trends

Cost of Government Day falls four days later in 2008 than last year’s revised date of July 12.  In 2008, the average American will have to work an additional 17 days out of the year to pay off his or her cost of government compared to 2000, when the COGD was June 29. 

In fact, since 1977, COGD has fallen later than July 16 in only four of those 32 years - in 1982 and 1983, and in 1992 and 1993.  The driving factor for this development is the fact that all components of the cost of government – federal spending, state and local spending, and regulation – are now increasing faster than national income.

This increase in the cost of government stands in sharp contrast to at least two periods in the past thirty years: COGD fell sharply from a high of July 20 in 1992 to June 29 in 1999 and 2000.  In addition, COGD declined from a record high of July 23 in 1982 to July 3 in 1989.  Both of these declines resulted from a combination of restraining the growth of federal spending while the economy was booming and rapidly increasing national income.

Stop Obama Express

In an effort to expose the B. Hussein Obama media bias, read my comments in the [red brackets.] This article is just one out of most - I could literally do this ALL day, every day, up until the election.

Obama calls criticism of wife 'infuriating'

‘Fox Attacks’: Left-Wing Claims Network Out To Smear Michelle Obama Obama Campaign Raises $52 Million In June

WASHINGTON (AP) - What gets under Barack Obama's skin? Criticism of his wife, Michelle Obama. In an interview with Glamour magazine, Obama said attacks on his wife are "infuriating." The likely Democratic presidential nominee blamed the conservative press for going after his wife as if she were the candidate. [Did I read the word "conservative before the word "press"?!?] "If they have a difference with me on policy, they should debate me. Not her," Obama told the magazine. [Untrue. If your wife intends on campaigning for you or will be active in your presidency, she has every right to be considered in discussion.] An Associated Press-Yahoo poll suggests Michelle Obama has higher favorable ratings than Cindy McCain, wife of presumptive Republican nominee John McCain. However, Michelle Obama's unfavorable ratings are also higher. [The second rating is more important here as people know Michelle and most don't even know Cindy.] Michelle Obama came under fire in February when she said she was proud of her country for the first time in her adult life. She later clarified her remark, saying she has always been proud of her country and was particularly proud to see so many people involved in the political process. [Clarify all you want, you're clearly anti-American and as Malkin put it, only proud of your husband.] Obama said the attacks are ironic because his wife is "the most quintessentially American woman I know." [You don't know a lot of women.] Michelle Obama, 44, has worked as a lawyer and hospital executive. The couple has two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. The Internet has been a double-edged sword for the Obama campaign. While it's allowed them to organize supporters and raise millions of dollars, Obama said it's also provided a vehicle for rumors and myths to spread quickly. [Substitute the words "facts" and "stories" for "rumors" and "myths" because the MSM chooses not to publish most negative aspects of B. Hussein Obama.] "It's very hard to catch up," he said. [I have a feeling it's going to get even harder...] Glamour's editor-in-chief also interviewed McCain. Full interviews with both candidates were scheduled to appear in the magazine's October issue. [In other words, "we here at the MSM don't care at all about McCain so if you want to read about him, pound sand."] [You'll also get a kick out of the anti-FOX news propaganda video that is "related" to this link. So... are there any links that favor FOX in this article? This article seems quite unbiased to me!]

Hero

Frankly, I have my own preferences for the Republican presidential nominee but I have to say, pictures like this really calm my nerves.

AMEN.

If this baby-killer is an illegal immigrant:

Suspect in baby killing found in Mexico

A Milwaukee man charged in 2005 with killing his 2-month-old daughter by punching her in the stomach has been captured in Mexico, where he fled after being charged with homicide in connection with the baby's death three years ago.

Milwaukee police are working to extradite Salvador Ochoa, 33, back to Wisconsin, a department spokeswoman said this week.

Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz reported that Ochoa is in custody under a warrant that had been issued for second-degree reckless homicide in the December 2005 death of his daughter, Rubi Ochoa-Cervantes.

Schwartz did not have details available on when or how Ochoa was caught.

The girl died on Dec. 12, 2005, after being taken to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin where surgeons discovered she had a perforated bowel that had become necrotic. Portions of the baby's stomach, kidneys and uterus were also necrotic, according to a Milwaukee County medical examiner's report. 

The child's mother told investigators at the time that Ochoa told her he had punched the girl in the stomach after she would not stop crying.

The report concluded the child's injuries were caused by blunt force abdominal trauma. Investigators found she was also treated at Children's Hospital in November of 2005 for a skull fracture a month after she was born.

A criminal complaint charging her father in the days following her death noted the child had also suffered a broken rib. If convicted, Ochoa faces up to 25 years in prison.

After fleeing, Ochoa was also charged in Milwaukee County in a second criminal case for sexual assault of a child, repeated acts, involving a girl who was 8 years old at the time.

According to a criminal complaint, the girl told authorities that her father would call her into his bedroom while he was watching pornographic films. She told police that he indecently touched her over her clothes in her genital area four times between July 2005 and December 2005.

She told police that she was afraid not to do what her father told her to do because he would hit the children in the stomach if they did not listen.

New Look

Granted I'm not blogging much but I thought I would clean up my blog a bit (so it doesn't take a week to load). I've removed much from my existing site (including haloscan and all of those collected comments) but now I'm back and my new site is quite fitting. You'll also notice my new avatar featuring our fearless leader:

I'm using Bush as my avatar because I'm confident we'll look back at his tenure and thank him for his tireless service. Not to mention he has a heart of steel that continuously takes a beating from the ungracious left and biased media.

RED STATE Competition

Apparently the Red State is having a design competition to modify B. Hussein Obama pictures. I thought I'd have a crack* at it considering I really want a prize from their beloved Gear Shop (or perhaps some freelance work). If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve, I'd love to hear them.

Don't forget to go to their site and vote for me!!!

Here's the original version that we have to modify:

Here's my version with some minor predictive enhancements:

*By no means am I a skilled photoshop user. I just play one on the Internet.

Photo Bias

This is clearly a bias in favor of Obama. Look at the two photos used to convey the politicians - one being very inspirational and warm while the other conveys coldness and age.

Feel free to use this image - spread the bias!

BS.

Match made in Heaven.

These pictures don't come as a shock to me:

Who do you pledge your allegiance too?

This was sent to me via email. Is he not pledging allegiance?
