Odd news coming out from several places lately...tax revenues
are up...the fed has a surprising windfall, with a much lower
deficit recently, my state has a surplus, which promptly triggered
the typical dogfight as to what to do with it, which happens
every 10 years or so when there is actually a surplus...
Unlike brainless jingoism, I believe in adding up the actual
numbers, and tax revenues are one set of numbers I track, based
on the following wisdom: "Don't follow the leaders, watch the
parking meters."
