WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of federal workers and retirees who owed delinquent income taxes jumped by nearly 12 percent in 2011, the Internal Revenue Service said Friday. Nearly 312,000 federal workers and retirees owed more than $3.5 billion in back taxes as of Sept. 30, 2011, the agency said. The year before, about 279,000 workers and retirees owed $3.4 billion.
Overall, the 9.8 million workers included in the data had a delinquency rate of 3.2 percent. That's better than the general public. The IRS says the delinquency rate for the general public was 8.2 percent. The Department of Housing and Urban Development had the highest delinquency rate, at 4.4 percent. The Treasury Department, which includes the IRS, had the lowest, at 1.1 percent.
Among independent agencies with more than 1,000 workers, the Government Printing Office had the highest delinquency rate, at 7.6 percent. The National Credit Union Administration had the lowest, at 1 percent.
House employees had a higher delinquency rate than workers for the Senate, but not by much. House workers had a delinquency rate of 3.7 percent, while Senate workers had a delinquency rate of 3.3 percent. Federal court employees had a delinquency rate of 2.7 percent.
The IRS says most residents who owe back income taxes file returns but cannot pay the full amount at tax time. Others have their tax bills increased through audits and cannot pay the higher bill.
The statistics on federal employees do not include those who are on payment plans. The IRS doesn't publicize the data but makes it available upon request. The new data comes as many federal workers are facing unpaid furloughs because of automatic spending cuts known as the sequester. Many federal workers have already received furlough notices; others will receive them in the coming months.
Social norms often in fl uence choices of work and leisure. 15 Accordingtothe Jewish and Christian religions, work is to some extent a moral obligation. Two ethical considerations are invoked in this context; a person should not rely on support from others (who are obliged to assist him) and idleness of any sort weakens the willingness to perform religious obligations. 16 Thus, the Talmud asserts that a person should even hire himself out to do work that is strange to him and beneath his dignity rather than be dependent on people for charity. Similarly, Paul’s Second Letter to the T hessalonians (3:8-3:9) says " neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you; not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us." The recognition o f the moral hazard problem inherent in any charity system is quite apparent from these citations."
Rat the more people are given with out exchanging leisure for labor (Obama phone, bucks, free heat, housing food, ect) the more they tend to not want to join in and pay their fair share.

This President forgot that, he thinks it is his, that mooching wife and mother of the Mooch.
For the middle class, expenses grow faster than paychecks"
After all Obama has done to the USA and still the economics suck.
When Debbie Bruister buys a gallon of milk at her local Kroger supermarket, she pays $3.69, up 70 cents from what she paid last year.
Getting to the store costs more, too. Gas in Corinth, Miss., her hometown, costs $3.51 a gallon now, compared to less than three bucks in 2012. That really hurts, considering her husband's 112-mile daily round-trip commute to his job as a pharmacist.
Bruister, a mother of four, received a $1,160 raise this school year at her job as an eighth-grade computer teacher. The extra cash -- about $97 a month, before taxes and other deductions -- isn't enough for her and her husband to keep up with their rising costs, especially after the elimination of the payroll tax break. Its loss shrunk their paychecks by more than $270 a month.
"If you look at how much prices are going up, you get in the hole really quick," Bruister said. "It's a constant squeeze."
The ObamaNomics team management style of Cliff and Crisis in not working.
Obama's managing the decline.
Families with young kids are struggling to afford childcare and save for the ever-climbing costs of college. Those nearing retirement are scrambling to sock away funds so they don't have to work forever. A weak labor market means that employed Americans aren't getting the pay raises they need to keep up -- especially with big-ticket items such as health care eating away at their paychecks.
Economists say it boils down to two core problems: jobs and wages. The traditional "middle-class job" is disappearing. "

Has worn thin with most US Tax payers. IF only that lazy Obama, err, Barry, would just work.
If you'd like to get a glimpse of what America would look like if President Barack Obama got his way on everything, take a good look at Detroit.
Democrats emphasize redistribution of wealth. Before wealth can be redistributed, it must be created. Liberal policies destroy wealth. Those who suffer most are precisely those Democrats say they're helping. In the Detroit of 1950 -- when no city in the world was creating more wealth -- the poor and the middle class were far better off.

Drugs that could combat ageing and help people to live to 150-years-old may be available within five years, following landmark research. The new drugs are synthetic versions of resveratrol which is found in red wine and is believed to have an anti-ageing effect as it boosts activity of a protein called SIRT1. Pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline has been testing the medications on patients suffering with medical conditions including cancer, diabetes and heart disease. The work proves that a single anti-ageing enzyme in the body can be targeted, with the potential to prevent age-related diseases and extend lifespans. As each of the 117 drugs tested work on the single enzyme through a common mechanism is means that a whole new class of anti-ageing drugs is now viable, which could ultimately prevent cancer, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. Genetics professor David Sinclair, based at Harvard University, said: 'Ultimately, these drugs would treat one disease, but unlike drugs of today, they would prevent 20 others. 'In effect, they would slow ageing.'
A great deal of the cost of Medicare comes from managing cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease.
Keeping people healthy, for a much longer time is a win-win.

Such as that armageddon rants we heard from the Whitehouse of a 2% cut in the federal budget?
The world that does exist is that this President has absolutely no intention or desire of cutting one dime from any federal budget. And all his talk of doing so is contradicted by his actions time and again.
A record 46.7 million Americans -- or roughly one in five adults -- used food stamps in June, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently reported."
Good news for team slavery,,,,, by March 8th, 2013 obamanomics failures had expanded the slaves to:
The world that does exist is that this President has absolutely no intention or desire of cutting one dime from any federal budget. And all his talk of doing so is contradicted by his actions time and again."
Yep
Currently the US Federal Revenues are at a historic high (in part Pres slave owner is using ACA tax money to hide current spending and even higher deficits from hitting his books).
His spending is at record high historically, the aggregated total spending is up each year of his term, not down,,,,,, remember when people trade 100 % leisure time for work they want to keep what they toil in his slave fields to earn, yet this Master only takes more and more of the value of the slaves he owns.
Koch Foundation ---- remember the liberals here hate them, not so much over that PBS , they take all that Koch is willing to donate to them, including Tons ,(real ton's not fake token tons of money like one small jump up and down on s/he's small feet in an attempt to be noticed) to the study of science.
I believe his unique "track" housing is not unique at all and he said that "tongue in cheek".
My loafing shed for my brood cows is bigger then that and have better heartbeats living in it.
Remember the average value of a track home in that area is 500 K, the doughy one , has a slum home not maintained, the neighbors will be glad to see his ownership end and a real home owner enter.
North Korea behaves badly. Encouraged by the Obama administration, a more unified criticism of NK than the world has thus far demonstrated arises,including even China! And this is Obama's "fault"?
Yep, Hb. The world they have created in their own little minds does not exist.
And be worth three times the entire value of my estate!
poor poor k'putz, he knows nothing of the CA real estate market. When you get the 'average' price, that includes homes in the multi-million dollar range that are in the same geographic area. It is a highly deceptive number and just his type of cherry picking.
The home is well maintained and in a neighborhood of similar homes built in the late 50's and early 60's in the area. The value is considerably higher than I have in it. When all is said and done, I will be totally debt free and have a substantial chunk of change as well as my guaranteed income for life.
It is the path I chose long ago and it's all working out. I'm not "rich". What I am is retired, with no debt and an income that is still considerably higher than the average family of four in the US. With health care too.
And I also am not, and am damn glad I am not, a racist, bitter, angry dirt farmer who has to spend all his waking hours posting on an obscure blog because his family wants nothing to do with him.

First, he WILL BE debt free - then the next paragraph - he IS debt free, lol!

"“I think the tone coming out of the White House … could probably be more conciliatory,” said Jim Graves, a Minnesota Democrat who nearly knocked off Rep. Michele Bachmann last year in a suburban Twin Cities district where Obama barely eclipsed 40 percent.
Graves, who’s girding for a rematch against Bachmann next year, added, “There’s no question — Obama has taken a fairly liberal tack in his second term. But I’m not here for the president. I’m here for the people of the 6th Congressional District.”
I See HE , is all upset over being shown his two statements, not that he is making shit up oh no, not our little HE.
If HE was to be involved in an honest discussion over his rental slum he could provide the address, or to lower the bar his MLS or further lowering the bar the area code for the rental.

KD is always asking people to provide addresses. He asked me to provide the address of the church I serve. He asked Hb to provide the address of property he is selling.
I'm sure KD will want to show us what a sterling good character he himself posseses by serving as an example and providing right here and now THE CORRECT ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTY HE OWNS.
In February, Kelly told Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace that lawmakers need to address "assault weapons." He said the purpose of an "assault weapon" is "to kill a lot of people very quickly," and he lamented that such products were "too readily available."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The number of federal workers and retirees who owed delinquent income taxes jumped by nearly 12 percent in 2011, the Internal Revenue Service said Friday.

That is not a TON to begin with and after Construction, Relator fees , local , state and Federal Taxes.
Oh well he felt a need to think he had something to brag about.
Chicken Jane, she was scolding me for calling the First Whore a Whore.
What happens when a sitting president runs around the USA with his chicken little head cut off and not happens.
Loss of credibility , so says the Huffington Post.

I noticed that s/He chose to ignore facts on the ground and attempted to again make this blog about s/he.
Karzai Inflames U.S. Tensions
"America's fraught ties with Afghanistan suffered a jarring blow Sunday, when Afghan President Hamid Karzai said during a visit by the new U.S. defense secretary that the Taliban were killing Afghan civilians 'in service to America,'" the Wall Street Journal reports.
Washington Post: "The remarks painted an embarrassing picture of discord that marred a visit by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, his first foreign trip as Pentagon chief, and plunged the tenuous allies into crisis mode at a time when the United States is struggling to wind down the unpopular war."

Time to get out and let the Afghans deal with their own mess.
Oh. Glad to hear she actually scolded somebody on the Right about something. Perhaps there is some hope for her after all...
Interesting reading at politicalwire.com:
Cuts give Obama Path to Create Leaner Military
Unemployment Would be Lower Without Government Cuts (but I thought govnt was getting bigger)
How Ashley Judd Can Win (even in Kentucky!)
And this interesting and intelligent quote by an intelligent Republican (of which there are still a few left):
"Washington is dysfunctional, but it's dysfunctional in a dysfunctional way. Members of Congress and the administration agree on too much. We agree on spending money we don't have. We agree on not over sighting the programs that should be over sighted. We agree on continuing to spend money on programs that don't work or are ineffective. Basically we agree on too much."
-- Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), in an interview with Meet the Press.
"For the life of me, though, I cannot fanthom why Savagette would greet you with the quote at 11:59AM."
You're stupid - it's that simple.
""...Clearly, Sacramento‘s tax policies — which were developed to help disadvantaged individuals, lower-income families, and underemployed workers — are doing much more harm than good.
And workers are responding. They are fleeing California’s punishing tax regime in droves in favor of nearby states that seem to be rolling out a veritable red carpet...."
Typical liberal bastion of failure.
Was KDem's explanation correct?
I hadn't seen that particular quote, nor do I remember you admonishing him for ANY of his language, including that toward the end of the last thread.
Some good news:
New drug being developed using compound found in red wine 'could help humans live until they are 150'
Drugs that could combat ageing and help people to live to 150-years-old may be available within five years, following landmark research.
The new drugs are synthetic versions of resveratrol which is found in red wine and is believed to have an anti-ageing effect as it boosts activity of a protein called SIRT1.
Pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline has been testing the medications on patients suffering with medical conditions including cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
The work proves that a single anti-ageing enzyme in the body can be targeted, with the potential to prevent age-related diseases and extend lifespans.
As each of the 117 drugs tested work on the single enzyme through a common mechanism is means that a whole new class of anti-ageing drugs is now viable, which could ultimately prevent cancer, Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes.
Genetics professor David Sinclair, based at Harvard University, said: 'Ultimately, these drugs would treat one disease, but unlike drugs of today, they would prevent 20 others.
'In effect, they would slow ageing.'
A great deal of the cost of Medicare comes from managing cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease.
Keeping people healthy, for a much longer time is a win-win.
How Ashley Judd Can Win (even in Kentucky!)
Yes, she can win!! Go for it!! Spend all your money to get Kentucky.
"I hadn't seen that particular quote, nor do I remember you admonishing him for ANY of his language, including that toward the end of the last thread."
I don't give a crap what you do or don't remember - I'm not the board monitor - that's you, remember?
Mind your own business.

And doughboy bends-over and says:
"please sir may I have another!!"
Got a prediction as to whether she can or can't win, Commensa?
Oh wait. You're not very good at predictions...
Savagette's sounding kinda defensive there... ;-)

I just can't wait until the first time she gets in front of some coal-miners and says "coal-mining is like rape."

Amazing.

TAEGAN GODDARD REPORTS "SOME EXCITING NEWS TO ANNOUNCE THIS MORNING":
Wonk Wire Joins Roll Call
Wonk Wire, the public policy companion site to Political Wire, is now part of Roll Call. I'll continue to highlight the day's most important policy stories and analysis, but thousands of new and knowledgeable readers will join the conversation.
If that's your thing, please drop by and say hello.
Roll Call is also launching other blogs today from Stu Rothenberg, Morton Kondracke, David Hawkings and David Drucker.

The excesses of the Right have produced an ever greater hunger in America for intelligent political discourse.
James, they see the world they have constructed in their little minds does not exist. That is why they are acting this way.
"Mind your own business."
Were you minding yours when you criticized poor KDem?
:0)
When do we get the report from Chicken Little Prez of a drop in the number of people he personally put on welfare?
Hmmmm
Three Koch foundations made a total of 181 grants worth $25,405,525 in 2010 (most recent available records). The one Tides Foundation made a total of 2,627 grants worth $143,529,590 in 2010.
Put otherwise, for every one grant made by a Koch foundation, Tides made more than five grants.
What is crystal clear is this: The Koch Brothers get vastly more attention from two of the nation's elite media outlets and the grand sire of the "too much money corrupts" school of campaign finance reform than an obscure foundation that bankrolls multiple legions of leftist political groups and causes.
Might we conclude then that, like the collectivized creatures of Animal Farm, some of the rich money in American politics is more equal than others?

Such as that armageddon rants we heard from the Whitehouse of a 2% cut in the federal budget?
The world that does exist is that this President has absolutely no intention or desire of cutting one dime from any federal budget. And all his talk of doing so is contradicted by his actions time and again.
"America's fraught ties with Afghanistan suffered a jarring blow Sunday"
This president can't seem to work with anyone.
Could it be his lack of credibility is reflected in his rock rib opinions that disagree with his.
A record 46.7 million Americans -- or roughly one in five adults -- used food stamps in June, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently reported."
Good news for team slavery,,,,, by March 8th, 2013 obamanomics failures had expanded the slaves to:
47,675,299
North Korea declares 1953 armistice invalid
k'putz dusts off his uniform and joins up. Twit can't wait to be a camp follower.

Yep
Currently the US Federal Revenues are at a historic high (in part Pres slave owner is using ACA tax money to hide current spending and even higher deficits from hitting his books).
His spending is at record high historically, the aggregated total spending is up each year of his term, not down,,,,,, remember when people trade 100 % leisure time for work they want to keep what they toil in his slave fields to earn, yet this Master only takes more and more of the value of the slaves he owns.
Koch Foundation ---- remember the liberals here hate them, not so much over that PBS , they take all that Koch is willing to donate to them, including Tons ,(real ton's not fake token tons of money like one small jump up and down on s/he's small feet in an attempt to be noticed) to the study of science.
"North Korea declares 1953 armistice invalid"
Heckuva job Barry.
Don't worry - the dry drunk still loves ya.
Obama told the world that he is defunding the US Navy and the Ability of the USA to protect our interests abroad.
The idea/birth/terms and execution of the Sequester is on Obama.
So said many Dem/liberal sources, this fact is not in dispute.
Forgot about this...
" But that is because it is a unique property. It was built in 1959, a very good year. It has 1,250 sf. Huge."
lmao - it would fit in my basement, lol!
Good Morning Ette, loving the wild normal swings in Kansas Weather from record snows to record warmth to ..... well just normal Kansas.
lmao - it would fit in my basement"
I believe his unique "track" housing is not unique at all and he said that "tongue in cheek".
My loafing shed for my brood cows is bigger then that and have better heartbeats living in it.
Remember the average value of a track home in that area is 500 K, the doughy one , has a slum home not maintained, the neighbors will be glad to see his ownership end and a real home owner enter.
North Korea behaves badly.
Encouraged by the Obama administration, a more unified criticism of NK than the world has thus far demonstrated arises,including even China!
And this is Obama's "fault"?
Yep, Hb. The world they have created in their own little minds does not exist.
Forgot about this too...
"It has gone up about 30% in the last year."
As compared to 69% here in good ole Kansas, lmao.
Why is this CnC victimizing the War Fighters?
He personally put the bull's eye target and pulled the trigger on the War Fighters of the Battle Group of the USS Harry S. Truman.

It's about the same size as those old bungalows that were built in St. Pete. as winter homes for retirees in the 50's.
Today those dinky homes are hard to unload since the average home size in Florida is now between 1,800 and 2,200 sq ft.
lmao - it would fit in my basement, lol!
And be worth three times the entire value of my estate!
poor poor k'putz, he knows nothing of the CA real estate market. When you get the 'average' price, that includes homes in the multi-million dollar range that are in the same geographic area. It is a highly deceptive number and just his type of cherry picking.
The home is well maintained and in a neighborhood of similar homes built in the late 50's and early 60's in the area. The value is considerably higher than I have in it. When all is said and done, I will be totally debt free and have a substantial chunk of change as well as my guaranteed income for life.
It is the path I chose long ago and it's all working out. I'm not "rich". What I am is retired, with no debt and an income that is still considerably higher than the average family of four in the US. With health care too.
And I also am not, and am damn glad I am not, a racist, bitter, angry dirt farmer who has to spend all his waking hours posting on an obscure blog because his family wants nothing to do with him.
In Floriduhhh:
Today those dinky homes are hard to unload since the average home size in Florida is now between 1,800 and 2,200 sq ft.
And tell us, what are they worth today?
My buyer is fully qualified and the loan is already underwritten.
Hb, these people aren't interested in truth.

Look who can't get his story straight, lmao.
First, he WILL BE debt free - then the next paragraph - he IS debt free, lol!
"Hb, these people aren't interested in truth."
The two of you wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and slapped you in the face, lol.
Twit can't read.

Not true. Perhaps that is how your addled mind read it, but that's not what I said.
I am not k'putz, I don't have to embellish and lie. A common Kansas trait, it appears.
" What I am is retired, with no debt"
versus the first paragraph...
"When all is said and done, I will be totally debt free"
Between the three stooge liberals on here - the first liar doesn't have a chance, lol.

Ette, why destroy his elusions with the used of his own words, he hates it when I trap him, imagine how destructive it is when , you, a mere woman does it (given his low opinion of woman).
Gabby" Gifford was shot, tragic, hubby's response buy a magnum handgun and a "assault rifle"
Oh oh...
"“I think the tone coming out of the White House … could probably be more conciliatory,” said Jim Graves, a Minnesota Democrat who nearly knocked off Rep. Michele Bachmann last year in a suburban Twin Cities district where Obama barely eclipsed 40 percent.
Graves, who’s girding for a rematch against Bachmann next year, added, “There’s no question — Obama has taken a fairly liberal tack in his second term. But I’m not here for the president. I’m here for the people of the 6th Congressional District.”
I See HE , is all upset over being shown his two statements, not that he is making shit up oh no, not our little HE.
If HE was to be involved in an honest discussion over his rental slum he could provide the address, or to lower the bar his MLS or further lowering the bar the area code for the rental.
But, we know HE, and honestly , HE can't.
KD is always asking people to provide addresses. He asked me to provide the address of the church I serve. He asked Hb to provide the address of property he is selling.
I'm sure KD will want to show us what a sterling good character he himself posseses by serving as an example and providing right here and now THE CORRECT ADDRESS OF THE PROPERTY HE OWNS.
And tell us, what are they worth today?
My buyer is fully qualified and the loan is already underwritten.
Considerably less than what you overpaid for you 1200 ft cracker box.
There are double-wides in Florida that are about that size. Even bigger.
And gas is sill under 4.00 per gallon.
You couldn't get me to move to Caleeeforrrnia.
My buyer is fully qualified and the loan is already underwritten"
And yet you spent money on a "contractor" and a "Relator".
How stupid of you HE.
since the average home size in Florida is now between 1,800 and 2,200 sq ft. " HE
HE, actually your data is not current.
New homes being built across America are shrinking, to match incomes.

In February, Kelly told Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace that lawmakers need to address "assault weapons." He said the purpose of an "assault weapon" is "to kill a lot of people very quickly," and he lamented that such products were "too readily available."
It is this kind of two faced bullshit from the leftist that I am sick and tired of, I am sure this will be reported on all news networks tonight as often in the future as the tragic shooting of Mrs. Kelley err Gifford.
More like a steaming pile of number two halfwit.
