ANOTHER SMALLISH MISTAKE

Linden believes that most of us would agree that one million is a figure that is hard to easily visualize, one billion is even more difficult and one trillion is beyond imagination…even though all of these numbers are thrown around in Washington as if they had no real dollar related meaning. We would also probably agree that it would be desirable for our nation to be released from our dependence on largely mid-east oil. For President Obama to stop the development of the Keystone Pipeline causes Linden to question just how much regard our President has for our country.

The number of American jobs not gained by the unfortunate decision of the President has been estimated to be from 20,000 up to ten times that number. If we accept the lower number and estimate the average pay per job to be only $50,000.00, we arrive at the amount of one billion dollars in unrealized pay. At a tax rate of only 15%, the lost revenue is 150 million dollars per year. One must ask, “is the President on the side of America?”

OTHER STUFF

I started my day by scanning the morning paper and eating biscuits and gravy at Chick-fil-A. Jack and Helen came in when I was almost ready to leave…we visited a bit. I mailed the tax form that I prepared yesterday and picked up more mail than I wanted to go through. In the evening, I had dinner at church and attended a program after dinner. Shortly after I returned home, Brian called and we had a long visit.
