Daily Lowlights

The only political low-light that I have today is from a story by the Washington Times. It shows that the people advising President Obama aren't exactly pinnacles of virtue.

Daily Lowlights

These are some of todays lowest political moments:

• 28 % of all giving is given by the top 2% of income earners. However, the Obama administration wants to cut out the deduction for charitable giving for these donors. Treasury Secretary Geithner says that he can think of no better way to improve charitable giving than to stimulate the economy. Of course the problem with that thinking is the money comes from the same taxpayers that they claim to be helping.
• Union bosses for the AFL-CIO meet in a $400.00 a night hotel for their meeting about taking away worker's rights. That means that they are using union dues to pay for the same type of extravagant accommodations for which they have repeatedly chastised CEOs.
• Congress wants to spend Millions of taxpayer dollars on tattoo removal for gang members and for keeping the stink of pig waste down.
