So my feed was not working due to a little thing we call the .htaccess file. The permissions were messed up when I tweaked something and it thus broke the link. It basically has to be “more permissive” in order for the feedburner plugin to write properly.
Sometimes when you try to make something better, you screw it up more.
You know, kind of like the Bush “stimulus” package. No one is really going to use it to stimulate much of anything other than debt reduction and savings. And by the way, any good accountant will tell you that what you need to do with any “found money” is to put it towards savings or debt! The prez is reinforcing stupid fiscal policy in our homes with this crap. Nice “trickle down” effect eh? I feel bad for the next president whoever that might be. It will be the same position as his dad who was stuck with the same economic behemoth of debt from Reagan. Bush 1 cleaned things up just enough for Bubba to take a lot of the credit for it his first few years. Just like Reagan, Bush II has taken a balanced budget and screwed it up. Sooooo much mess to clean up here.
Well, my wife and I are putting up a fence in our backyard. Doing our civic duty I guess. Better than using it on porn or booze even though that would stimulate the economy as well. After all drunks gotta drink and porn stars gotta eat…

I suppose everyone is entitled to a little bit of re-writing history, but to argue that Reagan started with a government that had a balanced budget is, well, a fantastic stretch.
For the four years preceding Reagan (better known as the "Carter Years" there was a deficit run each and every year. (http://www.cbo.gov/budget/data/historical.shtml... did not inherit a Balanced budget. Not even close. I always thought it an interesting bit of history that prior to 1999, the last "balanced budget was in 1969, and that was only after "using" the Social Security surplus to balance the books.
Just thought you might want to know.
In addition, Reagan started with double digit inflation (12.5% for 1980, ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/cpi/cpiai.txt), double digit interest rates (the federal reserve, or PRIME was at 13.35 in 1980, http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/data...), and unemployment was at a more "reasonable" 7.1% level.
