The Records That Bushco Now Hides From Us

    Once upon a time in a free country that was called the United Sates, it's citizens could access almost all of the information that it wanted about government officials,government statistics and various other info.

   Once upon a time the citizens of this once free society could even view the presidential records after a period of time. We citizens could even view the White house visitor records if we wanted to .

   But then the stupid, blind, ignorant population of America elected (?)  a dictator in 2000 and in 2004. This evil dictator would have no morals what so ever but he would pass himself off as a Christian to lock in the Christian vote and ideas. What a cruel, conniving little twit this man was/is!

   To keep his loyal subjects from discovering how morally corrupt and crooked he and his posse where/are, he banished many records and reports  to the land of 'disappear', never to be seen or read from his public.

    In March of 2006, 'the decider' did away with the Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP).

This may seem like a rather wonky concern, but it’s important. The SIPP data help researchers identify which programs best assist low-income families. As the 400 scholars noted, SIPP “also tracks health insurance coverage, and provides more in-depth information than other government survey on work-family issues, such as maternity leave, child care, and child support.”   The Carpetbagger Report

    The Idiot in Chief also did away with the Annual Terror Report after the White House spin did not match the actual numbers.

   Next up was the Bureau of Labor Statistics dropping  their annual report on factory closings (mass layoffs).

The White House's Office of Management and Budget decided to discontinue its annual "Budget Information for States" , the primary federal document reporting how much states get under each federal program. In fiscal 2003, the report ran 422 pages. In 2002, it was 415 pages.

    One more here. Charter School Data was severely curtailed after the data showed that charter schools weren't going so good as the Bush regime would have you think.

   Of course, most of the reason's for this was because it would save money. Since when has the Bush Crime Family concerned itself with saving any money?

   We all know the latest round of hide and seek from these bastards!

That would be closing off the White House Visitor Records.

   So much to hide! This is the dictator that many of you voted for in 2004!  Who's sorry now?

Dems Invoke Pay as You Go

    In the second day with the House now under Democratic control, they took on new rules aimed at the deficit spending and more accountability when it comes to pork spending.

   With the new rules in affect, the House is required to pay for any proposal to cut taxes or increase spending on the most expensive federal programs by raising taxes or cutting spending elsewhere. WaPo for more!

The vote: 280  said 'yes',152  said 'no' 

48 Republicans voted yes on the rules

Robert L. Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition,"It's important that they passed a pay-go rule because they're setting a standard for themselves. This is a way of saying 'There's a new sheriff in town' and 'We're going to be fiscally responsible. But, now, they're going to have to figure out how to live up to that standard. And that's going to be pretty tough."    The Story
