WEEKLY WASTEBASKET: The first full Biden budget proposal Budget & Tax | Weekly Wastebasket May 27, 2021 | President Biden’s first full year budget proposal is finally arriving. Normally administrations tout all their new priorities in their first budget. But the Fiscal Year 2022 request is coming when it is least likely to be seen, the Friday before Memorial Day. Perhaps that is because the president has already enacted or proposed $6 trillion in spending – dwarfing a roughly $1.5 trillion annual discretionary spending budget. Regardless, at Taxpayers for Common Sense we are budget watchdogs, so we’ll be reading and analyzing this multi-volume tome for quite some time to come. But considering we’ve seen the “Skinny Budget” (except they didn’t call it that) and some of the pre-release rollout, this request is starting to remind us of a barn yard square dance. Every year, Congress and the administration do a... Read more →

William L Brandt, Jr. November 5, 1939 ~ May 19, 2021 (age 81) There are times when we make history and there are times when history makes us.

Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. William L. Brandt, Jr. contributed to the manpower of our great nation in the United States Army. A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the size of his heart. Bill was a simple man, a good man who loved life’s little things... Read more →

Harold Earls, his wife and two children (photo provided) ROSWELL, GEORGIA —a Georgia Governor, Brian Kemp, announced the state will be opting out of the federal unemployment benefits that were put in place to help those whose jobs were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Harold Earls, Candidate for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District added: “I recently sat down with business owners in my district and talked with them about who their biggest competitors are. The immediate response of ‘the federal government’ was overwhelming. Our businesses are struggling because the Biden administration is encouraging a ‘hand-out’ society. It’s rife with corruption, and the by-product is a new non-working class. I believe that the Governor’s decision to opt-out of the 300 extra dollars a month of federal unemployment will encourage those not working to actively seek out new employment and in turn, keep our local economy moving.

Expert Tips to Raise,Teach & Guide Kids in 2021 Parental roles have fluctuated throughout modern history. Going back to World War II, mothers were forced to shift from housewife to breadwinner as fathers went off to war. In the decades following the war, many households returned to traditional roles, though that changed again later in the century with more women entering the workforce. Fathers had a more active role in the raising of their children as responsibilities were split between the parents. COVID has shifted that paradigm once again. Many fathers transitioned to working from home, or unfortunately, not working at all. Both, however, presented fathers with greater opportunities to not only spend more time with their children, further strengthening their natural bonds, but also have a more proactive role in their raising. With the end of the pandemic in sight and the world returning to normalcy, fathers are now... Read more →
