  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    She's right with being upset.  Why are Washington Democrats running away from their Socialist, and moral vision?

    cnsnews.com

    By current calculations, Detroit faces obligations over the next six months that exceed its revenues by $47 million. The city, the Free Press reported, now pays $1.08 in benefits to municipal workers and retirees for every $1.00 it pays in salary.

    What happened to Detroit? It is achieving socialism in one city.

    Traditional two-parent families and the productive taxpaying citizens they produce have fled. In 1950, according the U.S. Census Bureau, Detroit had 1,849,568 people and was the fifth-largest city in the nation. By 2000, its population had dropped to 951,270; by 2010, to 713,777; and by 2011, to 706,585.

    What has happened to the people who remain? The Census Bureau estimates there are 563,055 people age 16 or older in the city who could potentially work and be part of the labor force. But only 54.3 percent of these -- or 305,479 individuals -- actually do participate in the labor force, meaning they either have a job or are looking for one.

    Another 257,576 of Detroit residents age 16 or older - 45.7 percent of that demographic - do not participate in the labor force. They do not have a job, and they are not looking for one.

    Rest HERE

    Mr. Preezy was just in town stirring the goonion pot with his stutter spoon, so where is JoAnn's perpetual need for rashers of others bacon?

    Perhaps, this being so close to home, Senator Levin, should explain this to the good people of Michigan.

    Stabenow, Levin, Obama Target 10,432 Michigan Family Farms

    The Examiner

    New legislation that jumps the death tax to 55 percent of estates exceeding $1 million threatens 526,421 family farms, of about 25 percent of all farms in America, according to a Senate analysis.

    According to the analysis from the Senate Republican Policy Committee, chaired by Wyoming's John Barrasso:

    If President Obama and Senate Democrats do not act, the federal government will begin taking more than half the value of family farm estates exceeding $1 million beginning next year. This summer, Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Democrats passed legislation (S.3412) on a party-line vote that allows Washington to take up to 55 percent, a huge increase over today's top rate of 35 percent, and drop the tax's exemption from $5.1 million to $1 million. The lower exemption -- combined with soaring farm real estate values -- could put more than 420,000 additional farm estates at risk from the death tax.

    MORE

    Looks like Democratic Party funders George, and Warren, must be interested in acquiring some blocks of land on the cheap.  S.3412 was indeed passed by Party-line with Stabenow, and Levin voting Yea.  And, to think that re-elected moron, Alan Grayson's imbecile rhetoric used against Republicans, now similarly places over a half million family farms in jeopardy.  Don't get sick - Don't Die - or Democrats will tax your property away from your heirs.

    Congratulations, you voted for it!  Ironic, yes?  Shouldn't be to anyone by now.

    ...a government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have. - President Gerald R. Ford

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    If They Only Worked That Hard To Cut Spending...

    Ya, I'm talking about Democrats.

    Stabenow talked to farm owner Len Gustafson about how, with the help of funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Gustafson's Farm has become a huge success.  The owners say that over the past five years, they've managed to grow their farm from about 10 cows to nearly 200 cows, and they now produce 80,000 pounds of beef a year.

    Hmmm, that's roughly growing the herd by two head per month.  Nothing really all that amazing about that, but, congrats to Mr. Gustafson all the same.

    Government funding covered 60 percent of an $80,000 project to improve their beef operation with fencing and a new water system.  Len says the more cows drink, the more they eat, and heavier cows make better meat.

    Holy crap!  We taxpayers are subsidizing over half of this private businesses improvements?  Ahhh, so there's why Sen. Stabenow, Chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee is in the U.P.  It's a campaign photo-op.

    Or is it?
