Economy on verge of internal, external bankruptcy

Undoubtedly the reckless current account deficit of $339 billion in the nine years of the UPA rule has directly hit the Rupee unconscious. The CAD is the proximate cause of the Rupee's disgrace, but not the only cause. Fiscal deficit is as much a culprit. Fiscal deficit is the excess outgo of government over its revenues. The deadly combination of huge current account deficits and high fiscal deficits have put the Rupee on the ventilator. See the fiscal deficits record of the UPA Government. In its nine-year rule, the UPA Government has incurred a fiscal deficit of over Rs 27 lakh crore -- of which it incurred Rs 22.66 lakh crore in the last five years at an average of Rs 4.5 lakh per year against the average of Rs 1.35 lakh a year in the earlier four years. The government's alibi for the huge deficit of almost Rs 23 lakh crore in the last five years is the stimulus it gave to the economy by cuts in excise and customs tariff because of the global meltdown in 2008.
Because of the tax cuts, the revenue deficit shot up to Rs 16 lakh crore in five years averaging over Rs 3 lakh a year against the average of Rs 0.75 lakh in the first four years. The stimulus given in 2008 is still on, partially. See how this has robbed the nation, imposed high fiscal and huge current account deficits, eroded the Rupee's value and benefited only the corporates.
Rs 30 Lakh crore revenue foregone
The Statements Revenue Foregone, annexed to each annual budget, details the tax waivers given by the government since 2006-7. In the nine-year UPA rule the tax waivers have accumulated to Rs 30 lakh crore! In the two years before the stimulus in 2008, the waiver averaged Rs 2.6 lakh crore a year.
But thanks to the stimulus, it almost doubled Rs 5 lakh crore each year for the last five years. Against the budget revenue deficit of some Rs 16lakh crore during the UPA's nine years, the tax foregone is Rs 25lakh crore! The rationale for the stimulus was that the economy, under recessionary stress, needed support. But surprisingly the corporate profits were more in the stimulus period than before. The corporate profits were 11pc of the GDP in 2005-6, before the 2008 meltdown, when the GDP growth was also one of the highest – 9.5pc. Against this base year numbers, the corporate profits to GDP ratio rose up year after year thus: 12.94pc [2006-7], 14.26pc [2007-8] 11.86pc [2008-9] and 12.71pc [2009-10] and 12.15pc [2010-11]. The excess over the base year's gains of the corporates during the five years was Rs 4.8 lakh crore. This meant that the corporates had swallowed the substantial stimulus meant for the economy. Significantly, before the stimulus [2008-9] the average GDP was 9pc, in 2008-9 it was 6.7, after the stimulus it averaged 9pc till 2010-11. Only later it declined. Obviously the stimulus was a kneejerk reaction, not entirely based on merits, given the good performance of the corporates and GDP during the six years from 2006-7 to 2010-11. The UPA's latest Economic Survey [2012-13] too laments about the huge tax foregone [p66-68] and counsels "there is merit in limiting" the tax waivers.
As far back as in 2005, both Manmohan Singh and Chidambaram swore that they would withdraw tax cuts but didn't. Not doing so then and not fully cutting the stimulus in 2009 amounted to a criminal mismanagement of the economy. The weak performance of the economy from 2011-12 itself was partly because of the huge fiscal deficit of Rs 12lakh crore occasioned by the stimulus tax cuts. On top of it now is the proposed expenditure for attempting an UPA victory in the 2014 elections at public cost like the Food Security Bill, which threatens to escalate the fiscal deficit by Rs 2 lakh crore more each year. This creates the market perception that the UPA is recklessly keen for power even at the cost of national bankruptcy. Why will the Rupee not collapse? Move on.
Tax cuts invite high CAD
The stimulus conceals a much greater evil than just loss of revenue. The stimulus cut in customs tariff in 2008 -- already down to one half in the last decade -- made imports cheap. Result, the capital goods import surged in the next five years [2008-9 to 2012-13] to $407 billion. In the previous four years it totalled only $180 billion. Obviously, the customs rate cut has to do with enlarging the flood gate of capital goods import. The customs collection, which was Rs 1 lakh crore in 2007-8, came down to 0.83 lakh in 2009-10 -- that is less by over 17pc - even as imports rose from Rs 8.4 lakh crore [2007-8] to Rs 13.74 lakh crore [2009-10] by over 56pc. Obviously, the surge in the import of the capital goods was stimulated by the customs and excise stimulus in 2008. As demonstrated yesterday (Monday), surging capital goods imports decimated the domestic capital goods industry and forced the GDP down. Thus the stimulus tax cuts have hit the economy in every way – increased the fiscal deficits sky-high, imposed huge current account deficit and sent the Rupee to the ICU. But that is not the end of the mischief.
CAD causes huge debts
Even as the post-2008 budget deficits added `21.6 lakh crore to the public debt, the current account deficits necessitated huge external borrowing. This is despite the fact that during the UPA rule, the investment flow into India was unprecedented. FDI inflow into India during the nine years was $205 billion. Deducting the investment outflow of $102 billion from India, the net inflow of FDI was $103 billion. The net FII inflow into stock markets was $124 billion. The two added $227 billion to the forex kitty, but that was short of the current account hole of $339 billion. Huge external borrowing became inevitable. Including the risky short-term debts, which rose by 17 times from $4billion to over $70 billion, the external debts leaped by $288 billion during the UPA regime to $396 billion. The huge rise in investments and debts caused a four-fold rise in the net outgo of the income on investments and debts from $4 billion to $16.5 billion. With the current account deficit of $339 billion eating away most of the investment inflow [$227 billion] and additional debt [$288 billion], the forex reserves grew only by $180 billion to $292 billion. With the Himalayan current account and fiscal deficits continuing, escalating debts, increasing servicing spend on debts and investments and disproportionate short-term debts, the statistical forex reserve of $292 billion barely conceals the semi-external bankruptcy that has put the Ru pee in ICU.
Culture saves India
But what has ultimately saved India from internal and external bankruptcy is not fully evident in the public discourse. How were the fiscal deficits financed? Simply by the government issuing bonds to the commercial banks and the Reserve Bank and borrowing. The government could borrow within India because the traditional Indian families 'safely' bank their savings. They deposit close to Rs 10 lakh crore a year in the banks, which saves India from internal bankruptcy. But how is the bankrupting CAD really met? The truth, an untold story, may shock. It is the 'remittances from the Indian workers for family expenses' and 'local withdrawals' from the non-resident Indian accounts that has saved India from external insolvency. The forex contributed by Indian families totalled $335 billion during the nine-year UPA regime, almost equal to the CAD. Not a single dollar of this remittance is returnable. It bears no interest. This huge lifeline remittance is not the product of economics laws or the government policies. It is the traditional, cultural gift to the Indian economy. Had the traditional Indian families, struggling against modern individualism, not held together, would there have been such remittance?
Never. More. If the Indian workers did not remit for the maintenance of their kith and kin, besides the loss of the $335 billion lifeline for India, the state will have to fend for them. Has the Indian establishment discourse ever noticed this culturally devised protection to the economy? The relation-based nature of the Indian society makes this remittance culturally mandatory. This would not happen in contract- based societies like those in the West. Yet the government is making laws and the public discourse is striving hard to atomise the Indian family and society and turn it into a contract-based one. The establishment takes this lifeline for granted, perhaps not even conscious of it. But it tom-toms the investment inflows and debts.
The final part of the story will show how naive or criminally negligent the UPA Government has been in allowing a large part of the huge current account deficit to run contrary to India's strategic interests.

May Author clarify on limits imposed on fiscal deficit that can be incurred? I think, it is now limited to 3% only. All states now routinely come out with annual budgets with at least 3% deficit. Add Centre's own deficit figures.What is efficacy of limits imposed by Govt. on fiscal deficits? Has it delivered or not? Author says, domestic savings meet these, and forex remits by expatriates meet CAD(I think, these can only partially offset), I think wealth creation is the fundamental BOTTOM-LINE. We cannot escape it. To meet one's expanding needs, one's earnings should also go up correspondingly-- it can never be through borrowing left and right! Why UPA took to auto-pilot mode, strangely, is unclear-- add crony capitalism that whitewashed stashed money from abroad. I heard an expert say during a TV discussion that parallel economy within India(almost equal to Govt's controlled one) is powerful and now contributes to sustain us to an extent. Author's comment on these statement please.

"parallel economy within India(almost equal to Govt's controlled one) is powerful and now contributes to sustain us to an extent." – the interesting observation and its proper study may reveal the nature of governing (regular & parallel ) of the country to understand the problems and find out viable solutions.

We have lost all hope in UPA and wont be remitting any more to our Indian bank accounts, instead we have our saving safely where we are now.

UPA or NDA nothing will help, till fundamentals change. The basic problem is Import Bill is more than Exports. India rapid population and therefore Oil subsidy is eating most of the money. Gold is next big eater of the Dollar. Govt alone cannot correct things. Stop all Oil subsidy and increase duty on Gold by 25% overnight. The other thing is make all people who make 2 lakh and more per year pay tax. Very few Indians pay any tax. Everyone wants free stuff. Some will say i am making only 2 lakh per year and why tax me? That People are not getting any services at all is right. But that is mainly becoz of corruption. If you elect corrupt guys you will not get services. But that is a peoples problem, correctable through the vote of the people.

According to CHANAKYA importing is always good where lot of man power can be saved and it can be diverted elsewhere. Here we have to examine the kind of commodity, it's quality, non availability of raw material in the country or the technology availability.we have almost everything here and we can supply to other countries looking at the way our technologist shining outside India. But what is happening we are importing trash fromm China like huge quantity of Toys,etc. which we can manufacture here. There isdearthbfor jobs. Many are without jobs. On the other hand it is the corrupt practices which are very much to make our Industry not prospering. When we are importing from why fail to deliver goods to them? Why the politician is not thinking in that direction and put a ban on such useless items. Chain may sell at lower prices but their quality is also cheap and replace it often. Say cheap electrical goods. I have found the idols of our Gods are imported, made of synthetic npmaterials.

All the ills of our economy can be attruibuted to reckless spending by govt most of which has not resulted in welfare of the country but eaten away by huge corruption and loot by UPA and its allies and also burocracy.

Today, we want pragmatic policies to save the economy from the worsening situation. Indian economy is exposed to many external risks and it is always not possible to avoid such risks. If earlier during 2008-10, the economy did not suffer as much as some other economies did, it was because we were insulted somewhat. But now we are facing difficulties not only because the UPA government has failed to revive the economy but its failures are now threatening common citizens' lives, as new job opportunities have dried up and inflation is eroding their savings. Change of government may not solve any of our current problems. It is time politicians abandoned populist agenda. Citizens wish that our politicians act with foresight and show political will to implement reforms so that the economy is put on path of recovery and growth. Therefore we have to strengthen our manufacturing sector, curb imports of consumer goods used by the rich and implement necessary fiscal and financial reforms.

Isaiah - Chapter 42
Dr. Shawn Zelig Aster
"That Deaf, Dumb and Blind Nation..."
G-d says: My servant Israel is not like the other nations. Israel is My chosen one, upon whom I have placed My spirit. They will serve as an example to the nations. They will neither weaken nor tire before establishing justice in the land.
This is the word of G-d, Who created Heaven and Earth and Who gave life to humanity. He called Isaiah and will strengthen him in his mission; G-d made him a light to the nations. (In this case, Rashi says the "nations" means the Tribes of Israel.) People have become spiritually "blind," like prisoners sitting in the darkness of a prison. Isaiah will enlighten them.
G-d is the only One; His praise is not to be shared with idols. The promises He made to Abraham came true, now G-d shares more promises of the future exile and redemption.
Sing a new song to G-d from the ends of the Earth. The desert and cities will raise their voices to Him. Deserts now occupied by tents will become permanent settlements and the deceased, who are currently under the ground, will praise G-d (an allusion to the revival of the dead). G-d will go forth to redeem Israel like a mighty warrior, overpowering Babylonia. For a long time, G-d restrained Himself; no more. Now He will destroy all His foes as one. He will destroy mighty kings and rulers (compared to mountains and hills) and all their followers (compared to the grass that grows on these mountains and hills).
G-d will lead those who had been spiritually "blind" on a new path, making the darkness into light and straightening the crooked road. Those who worship idols will be ashamed. Those who were "deaf" to G-d's word will listen and those who were "blind" will see. The people will claim that it is G-d's prophet who is blind and deaf. There is much to see and hear, if people would only be receptive to it! G-d wants us to be receptive for the sake of His righteousness; He increases Torah and magnifies it. (This verse is the closing phrase of the prayer "U'va L'Tziyon.")
The people have been robbed and plundered; they have been hiding in dungeons, with nobody coming to save them. Who will now hear the promise of future redemption? Who gave Israel over to their enemies? It was G-d, because we refused to listen to His Torah. He poured out His anger; it burned all around them, but they refused to listen.

STL area veterans visit WWII memorial amid shut down
Despite the federal shutdown that has closed hundreds of National Parks Service sites, World War II veterans from St. Louis were able to visit their memorial in Washington D.C. yesterday.
It was initially feared the veterans, on Honor Flights from Missouri and Illinois, many in their nineties, wouldn't be allowed to view the memorial because of the shutdown.
On Tuesday, images of vets stepping past ribbons and barricades to access the site garnered negative national attention. But yesterday, 29 local veterans were welcomed by Park Service rangers at the site.
Who knew? Shutdown casualties shatter stereotypes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Taking out a mortgage. Getting married in a park. Going for a fall foliage drive. Cashing a check.
Who knew that so many random activities of daily life could be imperiled by a shutdown of the federal government?
Americans are finding that "the government" entails a lot more than the stereotype of faceless D.C. bureaucrats cranking out red tape.
And so it is that two dozen October weddings, including nine this week, are in jeopardy because they're scheduled for monument sites on the National Mall. Ditto for a New Jersey couple planning to marry at the Grand Canyon.
Mike Cassesso and MaiLien Le's permit to get married Saturday on the lawn near the Jefferson Memorial looks to be among the casualties, giving rise to a new Twitter hashtag for their #shutdownwedding. They're looking at alternate sites, including the restaurant booked for their reception.
Also canceled: a weekend Ku Klux Klan rally at Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.
Want to take a drive along Virginia's popular Skyline Drive to take in the fall colors in Shenandoah National Park? Not till the government reopens.
It's not just romance, tourism and public events that are in jeopardy.
Consider the Wisconsin farmer who can't cash a check for a cow he sold.
Ben Brancel, the state's agriculture secretary, said that because the farmer has a loan from the Farm Service Agency, he can't cash the check without both his own signature and one from an FSA official, unavailable during the shutdown.
"Our advice to him was he was going to have to wait, that there wasn't anything he could do about it," Brancel said.
Ready to buy your first house?
Borrowers applying for a mortgage can expect delays, especially if the shutdown is prolonged. That's because many lenders need government confirmation of applicants' income tax returns and Social Security data. Mortgage industry officials say they expect bottlenecks on closing loans if the shutdown stretches on for more than a few days.
In addition, low- to moderate-income borrowers and first-time homebuyers seeking government-insured mortgages for single-family homes from the Federal Housing Administration can expect longer waits because of sharp reductions in FHA staffing.
Even workers who get their paychecks from a state government aren't safe from the ripple effects of a federal shutdown.
An assortment of state workers around the country are on furlough because the money for their jobs includes dollars from Washington. Among those are hundreds of workers at Arkansas' Military Department and one at the Crowley's Ridge Technical Institute, a vocational school in Forrest City, Ark.
In Illinois, the furloughs include 20 workers in the state Department of Employment Security and 53 in the Department of Military Affairs.
"These are the first, and there may be more," said Abdon Pallasch, the state's assistant budget director.
Want to escape the shutdown worries with a bike ride on the C&O Canal, a popular 184-mile trail and national park between Washington and Cumberland, Md.?
Closed. Those thinking of ignoring the closure notice and going anyway should consider this: Restrooms will be locked and handles removed from water pumps along the way.
One possible silver lining to shutdown annoyances writ small and large: The whole thing could serve as a teachable moment for all those people who tell pollsters that they want budget cuts — as long as they aren't directly affected.
"As time goes by, more and more people see these little things that they took for granted," said Ed Lorenzen, a policy adviser at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan group pushing for spending discipline.
He said the shutdown could serve as a reminder that "you're not going to be able to the balance the budget just by cutting spending in Washington that doesn't affect people."

Americans anxious, irritated as gov't shuts down
NEW YORK (AP) — From New York's Liberty Island to Alaska's Denali National Park, the U.S. government closed its doors as a bitter budget fight idled hundreds of thousands of federal workers and halted all but the most critical government services for the first time in nearly two decades.
A midnight deadline to avert a shutdown passed amid Congressional bickering, casting in doubt Americans' ability to get government services ranging from federally-backed home loans to supplemental food assistance for children and pregnant women.
For many employees of the federal government, Tuesday's shutdown meant no more paychecks as they were forced onto unpaid furloughs. For those still working, it meant delays in getting paid.
Park Ranger and father-to-be Darquez Smith said he already lives paycheck-to-paycheck while putting himself through college.
"I've got a lot on my plate right now — tuition, my daughter, bills," said Smith, 23, a ranger at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park in Ohio. "I'm just confused and waiting just like everyone else."
The impact of the shutdown was mixed — immediate and far-reaching for some, annoying but minimal for others.
In Colorado, where flooding killed eight people earlier this month, emergency funds to help rebuild homes and businesses continued to flow — but federal worker furloughs were expected to slow it down.
National Guard soldiers rebuilding washed-out roads would apparently be paid on time — along with the rest of the country's active-duty personnel — under a bill passed hours before the shutdown. Existing Social Security and Medicare benefits, veterans' services and mail delivery were also unaffected.
Other agencies were harder hit — nearly 3,000 Federal Aviation Administration safety inspectors were furloughed along with most of the National Transportation Safety Board's employees, including accident investigators who respond to air crashes, train collisions, pipeline explosions and other accidents.
Almost all of NASA shut down, except for Mission Control in Houston, and national parks closed along with the Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo. Even the zoo's popular panda cam went dark, shut off for the first time since a cub was born there Aug. 23.
As the shutdown loomed Monday, visitors to popular parks made their frustration with elected officials clear.
"There is no good thing going to come out of it," said Chris Fahl, a tourist from Roanoke, Ind., visiting the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park in Hodgenville, Ky. "Taxpayers are just going to be more overburdened."
Emily Enfinger, visiting the Statue of Liberty, said politicians need to find a way to work together.
"They should be willing to compromise, both sides, and it discourages me that they don't seem to be able to do that," she said. "They're not doing their job as far as I'm concerned."
Joe Wentz, a retired federal employee from Lebanon, Va., visiting San Francisco with his wife, bought tickets to visit Alcatraz on Thursday — if it's open.
Wentz said he's frustrated that some politicians are using the budget to push changes in the Affordable Care Act.
"We've been disgusted a long time that they're not working together," he said.
The shutdown was strangely captivating to Marlena Knight, an Australian native visiting Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. She was confounded that the impasse focused on the nation's health care system — an indispensable service in her home country.
"We can't imagine not having a national health system," she said. "I just can't believe that this country can shut down over something like a national health system. Totally bizarre, as an Australian, but fascinating."
It turns out an institution as massive as the federal government takes some time to grind to a total halt: Many federal workers were being permitted to come in Tuesday to change voicemail messages or fill out time cards. But after that, they were under strict orders to do no work, even check their email.
With no telling how long the budget standoff will last, even programs not immediately affected could run out of cash.
Barbara Haxton, executive director of the Ohio Head Start Association, said its preschool learning programs would be in jeopardy if a shutdown lasted more than two weeks. March's automatic budget cuts meant nearly 3,000 children lost access to services and there could be dire consequences if the budget standoff drags on.
"It's not as though this is a throwaway service. These are the poorest of the poor children," Haxton said. "And our Congressman still gets his paycheck. His pay doesn't stop and his health insurance doesn't stop."
Associated Press reporters Kathy Matheson in Philadelphia, Joan Lowy in Washington, D.C., Dylan Lovan in Louisville, Ky., Terence Chea in San Francisco and Amanda Lee Myers in Cincinnati contributed to this report.
Health law challenge threatens government shutdown
WASHINGTON (AP) — A conservative challenge to the president's health care law has the federal government teetering on the brink of a partial shutdown.
The Senate has the next move on must-do legislation required to keep the government open past midnight on Monday, and the Democratic-led chamber is expected to reject the latest effort from House Republicans to use a normally routine measure to attack President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
Congress was closed for the day on Sunday after a post-midnight vote in the GOP-run House to delay by a year key parts of the new health care law and repeal a tax on medical devices as the price for avoiding a shutdown. The Senate is slated to convene Monday afternoon just 10 hours before the shutdown deadline, and Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has already promised that majority Democrats will kill the House's latest volley.
A House GOP leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, said the House would again rebuff the Senate's efforts to advance the short-term funding bill as a simple, "clean" measure shorn of anti-heath care reform provisions.
Since the last government shutdown 17 years ago, temporary funding bills known as continuing resolutions have been noncontroversial, with neither party willing to chance a shutdown to achieve legislative goals it couldn't otherwise win. But with health insurance exchanges set to open Tuesday, tea party Republicans are willing to take the risk in their drive to kill the law, so-called "Obamacare."
"You're going to shut down the government if you can't prevent millions of Americans from getting affordable care," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.
A leader of the tea party Republicans, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, insisted the blame rests with Senate Democrats.
"The House has twice now voted to keep the government open. And if we have a shutdown, it will only be because when the Senate comes back, Harry Reid says, 'I refuse even to talk,'" said Cruz, who led a 21-hour broadside against allowing the temporary funding bill to advance if stripped clean of a tea party-backed provision to derail Obamacare. The effort failed.
The battle started with a House vote to pass the short-term funding bill with a provision that would have eliminated the federal dollars needed to put Obama's health care overhaul into place. The Senate voted along party lines to strip that out and set the measure back to the House.
The latest House bill, passed early Sunday by a near party-line vote of 231-192, sent back to the Senate two major changes: a one-year delay of key provisions of the health insurance law and repeal of a new tax on medical devices that partially funds it. The steps still go too far for the White House and its Democratic allies.
Senate rules often make it difficult to move quickly, but the chamber can act on the House's latest proposals by simply calling them up and killing them.
Eyes were turning to the House for its next move. A senior leader vowed the House would not simply give in to Democrats' demands to pass the Senate's "clean" funding bill.
"The House will get back together in enough time, send another provision not to shut the government down, but to fund it, and it will have a few other options in there for the Senate to look at again," said McCarthy, the No. 3 House Republican leader.
He suggested that House Republicans would try blocking a mandate that individuals buy health insurance or face a tax penalty, saying there might be some Democratic support in the Senate for that.
On the other hand, Democrats said the GOP's bravado may fade as the deadline to avert a shutdown nears.
Asked whether he could vote for a "clean" temporary funding bill, Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, said he couldn't. But Labrador added, "I think there's enough people in the Republican Party who are willing to do that. And I think that's what you're going to see."
A leading Senate GOP moderate called on her fellow Republicans to back down.
"I disagree with the strategy of linking Obamacare with the continuing functioning of government — a strategy that cannot possibly work," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.
McCarthy wouldn't say what changes Republicans might make. He appeared to suggest that a very short-term measure might pass at the last minute, but GOP aides said that was unlikely.
Republicans argued that Reid should have convened the Senate on Sunday.
Yet even some Republicans said privately they feared that Reid held the advantage in a fast-approaching end game.
Republicans argued that they had already made compromises; for instance, their latest measure would leave intact most parts of the health care law that have taken effect, including requiring insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions and to let families' plans cover children up to age 26. They also would allow insurers to deny contraception coverage based on religious or moral objections.
Tea party lawmakers in the House — egged on by Cruz — forced GOP leaders to abandon an earlier plan to deliver a "clean" stopgap spending bill to the Senate and move the fight to another must-do measure looming in mid-October: a bill to increase the government's borrowing cap to avert a market-rattling, first-ever default on U.S. obligations.
In the event lawmakers blow the Monday deadline, about 800,000 workers would be forced off the job without pay. Some critical services such as patrolling the borders, inspecting meat and controlling air traffic would continue. Social Security benefits would be sent, and the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs for the elderly and poor would continue to pay doctors and hospitals.
McCarthy appeared on "Fox News Sunday," while Cruz and Labrador were on NBC's "Meet the Press." Van Hollen appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Madigan pension fix would save IL less than estimated, but still more than Cullerton plan
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - The estimated savings on a pension proposal backed by Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan earlier this year is nearly $25 billion less than originally thought.
That's because the Teachers Retirement System - one of Illinois' five pension systems - says it made a mistake in its calculations. The change was outlined in a Monday letter to a bipartisan panel tasked with coming up with an approach to solving Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension crisis.
Madigan's plan involves across-the-board cuts in benefits. It was originally touted to save Illinois about $187 billion over 30 years. However, the new estimate is about $163 billion in the same time period.
Another plan from Senate President John Cullerton, which had union support, was estimated to save roughly $47 billion over the same timeframe.
Feds running out of money to fight wildfires
GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) - Running out of money to fight wildfires at the peak of the season, the U.S. Forest Service is diverting $600 million from timber, recreation and other areas to fill the gap.
The nation's top wildfire-fighting agency was down to $50 million after spending $967 million so far this year, Forest Service spokesman Larry Chambers said Wednesday in an email.
Wildfire spending by other federal agencies takes the total to $1.2 billion.
Chambers says the $50 million the Forest Service has left is typically enough to pay for just a few days of fighting fires when the nation is at its top wildfire preparedness level, which went into effect Tuesday.
There are 51 large uncontained fires burning across the nation, making it tough to meet demands for fire crews and equipment.
Illinois contracting for concealed carry upgrades
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois has awarded contracts for computer upgrades intended to screen out people prohibited from carrying concealed weapons under the state's new gun legislation.
The Springfield Journal-Register reports on two contracts totaling more than $350,000. The Illinois State Police is contracting with a division of Levi, Ray & Shoup of Springfield to automate the entry of names into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
The Department of Human Services is contracting with Levi, Ray & Shoup for help dealing with the new law's mental health reporting requirements.
The law gives the Illinois six months to create an application system and another three months to approve applications.
Earlier this month, Illinois became the last state in the nation to make it legal for people to carry concealed weapons in public.
Illinois lawmakers plan to form committee to examine pension problem
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois lawmakers have convened a special session in Springfield, where they're expected to move ahead with plans to form a committee to deal with pensions.
Moving to committee requires a vote by both the House and Senate.
Gov. Pat Quinn met separately with Democratic and Republican legislative leaders Wednesday morning.
Republican House Leader Tom Cross says the governor wants to move ahead quickly so pension reform can be voted on by early July in another special session.
House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton each would get three appointees to the 10-member committee. Cross and Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno (rah-DOH'-nyoh) each would get two.
Illinois' $97 billion unfunded pension liability is the worst in the nation.
SIU president says budget remaining stable
CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) - Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard says the school has met a budget milestone.
He told The Southern Illinoisan Editorial Board on Monday that for the first time in several years SIU has been able to enter the next fiscal year with a budget equal to the previous year. University officials had been bracing for another 5 percent cut, but instead were able to convince state lawmakers to reinstate funding at the previous year's level. The school's budget will be $203 million.
Poshard also discussed enrollment. He says it's unrealistic to think the school's declining enrollment will turn around. But Poshard says he sees evidence enrollment is moving in the right direction. He says he has confidence Chancellor Rita Cheng will accomplish the task.
Lawmakers force Gov. Nixon to make tough budget choices
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri lawmakers have prepared a budget that could force Gov. Jay Nixon to choose between developmentally disabled children and low-income seniors.
The nearly $25 billion operating budget being considered Thursday by lawmakers assumes more than $55 million of savings from the elimination of a tax break for low-income seniors and disabled residents who live in rental housing.
The budget would spend that money on early childhood programs for the developmentally disabled, health care for the blind and medical clinics that treat low-income people.
Nixon has said he would veto a repeal of the renters tax break unless it's part of a broader tax-credit overhaul. But if he does, then the early childhood programs and health care initiatives would lose money.
Lawmakers hope that will compel Nixon to accept the plan.

I just did 100 sit ups and all you people have doing is being retarded. >:U
I just did 100 sit ups and all you people have doing is being retarded. >:U
Act my age? What the fuck is that, act my age? What do I care how old I am?
The Ocean is old as fuck.
It will still drown your ass with vigor.
RIP PLATINUM VAGINA THREAD </3 | Watch my bullshit.
Y'know, this really pisses me off. To start with, your opening, you hate everyone, including yourself? That's not fucking healthy, hatred gets you dick in life. It's a corrosive fucking fuel that burns out too quickly and leaves you empty and damaged. Next, you see yourself as 'superior to the unwashed masses', that's bullshit. You don't see yourself as superior, it's part of an imaginary hierarchy that you created for your self-esteem. You put yourself at the top, saying you're smarter and a better person than the others, than the unwashed masses, who are simpletons who can't even imagine the way you see the world. You don't take into account that these unwashed masses are people too, and that they aren't characters in a shitty Twilight book, they're three-dimensional. I used to think like you, put myself above them so I could feel good about myself, but guess what? it was an act. I've gotten stoned with people and discussed physics and politics, I've drank and explored the merits of Minecraft and Game of Thrones, and I've partied and talked about which rappers I prefer, and why. You're not better because you abstain from one thing or another, and you don't have a superior over other people because you read fantasy and the SCP-wiki.
You have the disposition of a grumpy old man? You don't take pride in that, you hate it. But you try and put a spin on it, say how mature you are and want everyone to jump on your e-cock for it.
You're going to have a long, wonderful life of telling people how worthless they are? No, you're not. You're going to have a bitter, depression filled life talking about how worthless someone is behind their back. I could be wrong, but it's highly unlikely anyone who imagines a class system just to feel superiority over someone else has the guts to tell someone to their face that they're worthless. And while you talk behind their back you're trying to attain a level of quality that may/not be out of your reach? No, you're not. Because being iffy on the subject shows that you don't a fuck enough about it to actually try and reach that level of quality. If you wanted that level of quality, you wouldn't waste time telling others how worthless they were, you'd pop your neck, lace up your boots, and get to that level of quality, and let the others see how worthless they were.
And no, this isn't a joke, nor is it irony. It's an attempt to have us pat you on the back and say "We know man, we know. Everyone besides us is worthless!" You throw the 'joke' part over it because you don't want anyone to get serious and say it's bullshit. If you have the joke insurance policy, all you have to do when someone calls you on the shit is say "umadbro?" or "It was a joke, calm down." .
And the worst part is? I'm not sure who I'm fucking directing this bullshit rant too, you, me, all of fucking tumblr?
TL;DR-You're not a special fucking snowflake, get over it.
Sometimes I think I'm gonna do great things and then I remember I can't even remember to feed my dogs and I die a little inside.
Act my age? What the fuck is that, act my age? What do I care how old I am?
The Ocean is old as fuck.
It will still drown your ass with vigor.
RIP PLATINUM VAGINA THREAD </3 | Watch my bullshit.
No matter what you say or what you do. When I'm alone, I'd rather be with you. Fuck these other niggas, I'll be right by your side 'til 3005.
Man nobody out here's got it figured out.
I return in style.

Pretty much sums up how things work these days.
Lifestyle Apps in the App Store is pretty much the most useless category. They really throw all the crap they don't have categories for in here.
Tumblr Pro Where Art Thou?
Tumblr has enough users and corporations using the service that it is time that they open up new features for Pro users.
It is a simple idea that can help generate revenue or at least offset the operating costs that are taking on. As of November 2012 it was the 9th most popular site in the world. That means operating costs must be expensive. All of those photos and gifs are eating up a lot of server space and bandwidth.
For a simple $5 a month Tumblr Pro could offer features including :
- Tag Analytics : Which tags are bringing you the most users
- Top 10 Posts : Which of your posts are being favorited and reblogged the most
- Access to a more advanced mobile app which allows better customization of your blog and create new Tumblr's on the go
- Support for more SEO friendly URLs rather than manually editing each one before you submit
There are so many more features that would help growth and enable users to take more control of what content is working for their audience. I would suggest Tumblr do something soon before another service comes along and does it better.

Mr. Smith of Jay's bill [S. 89] to amend Section 4,501 of the Revised Statutes of 1881, was read the third time.
Mr. SMITH explained that because there is some doubt about the term of schools, this bill is introduced by request, to prevent any litigation. There is no very great change in the bill. If the teacher's license expires during the term of school it shall not stop the school.
Mr. HENRY opposed the bill. A teacher unfit, whose license only run a week, might complete a term for which employed, though it run a year. If a teacher can not renew his license there is no need for his being allowed to complete the term.
The bill passed by yeas, 33; nays, 13.

After an explosive showdown of thunder and lightning on the battlefield, Hercules and his companions are set to end Egypt's civil war. Even with a cunning plan to defeat the Lord of Lightning, Khadis, and king Amenmessu, there still remains a traitor in the royal house of Seti II. When the dust settles on the battle grounds of war, the future of Egypt ultimately lies in Hercules' hands.

Port of Barcelona Gin by Esmeralda Distillery
Filed under: Spirits
Bryan Davis loves the sauce. The founder of the Esmeralda Distillery has already launched his own highly acclaimed obsello absinthe, and has now debuted his own brand of gin. Called Port of Barcelona, the spirit offers a unique alternative to the usual Bombay Sapphire or Beefeater brands found in every bar with a more complex blend of citrus, pepper, juniper, floral iris and vanilla hints, making Port of Barcelona Gin a compelling base for a classic martini or gin & tonic. And while it's bound to impress your guests, at $30 a bottle, it won't break the bank.

THE STATE'S HIGH court is expected to rule any day now on a proposal that would prevent two Hinds County circuit judges from hearing criminal cases.
On June 27, the county's four circuit judges met with justices of the Mississippi Supreme Court to discuss the issue.
The gathering was ordered by the court after Circuit Judge Jeff Weill filed an emergency petition with the court to block an order from Senior Judge Circuit Judge Tomie Green to split the court into civil and criminal divisions.

Building a gaming computer is not as expensive as one would think, if you do it the right way. I'm actually in the middle of gathering parts to build a 2nd computer with for http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ and http://folding.stanf...nglish/HomePage. Buying used, but not abused, computer parts saves alot of money. I have purchased a I7 860 1156 socket CPU and a GTX560 video card. I was given a gigabyte p55-ud3r motherboard and 2 gigs ddr3 G Skill RAM. A friend had a 160gb caviar blue hard drive laying around not being used. I already had a extra quality PSU and a decent aftermarket heatsink from previous computers I've had. Infact, the only thing I don't have for it yet is a case. Now the kicker, I have a total of $250 wrapped up in that computer, and I'm willing to bet it will out perform 80% of computers owned by MWO's comunity.

The End - Pearl Jam
Expert Guitar
Haven't really checked, I assume it has been for about 7 months or so since I have even played that song
Mine is still The Con on expert vocals, my albatross for GS/FCing it on my first try.
mine is 'young bloods' by the Bronx, GS pro drums, for some real strange reason.. I've only played the song once and it doesn't even have pro charted lol..
Gamertag: Xp3R1M3Nt4L
add me if you want to play, i mostly play pro drums, but i'm fine with guitaring if needed.
Alter Bridge for DLC.
Mine is Sex Type Thing by STP on Expert Pro Drums. Been that way for quite a long time now.
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research: he who [edit] nuns will later join the church.
- Joe Strummer
Been Caught Stealing by Jane's Addiction, expert pro drums. It's been there so long I stopped paying attention to that section.
It'd be more fun if that song cycled every few weeks or months.
5+ years, 4,000+ songs, 1 awesome developer. Thank you!
lump, pro drums... for like 1 year
Alesis DM10 with extra tom and cymbal
[X] Sum 41
[ ] Moar Mutemath
[ ] Moar Dream Theater
PDA Pro Drums for too long.
The problem is that signature performances are on your highest scoring instrument. Pro Guitar/Bass/Keys will be massively underrepresented because there are far fewer songs to begin with. Maybe they could weigh those instruments more to make up for it.
We've ended on a sour note:
Still...thank you for the music
Before I Forget by Slipknot - Expert Guitar >_>
Still Top 10 on PS3 leaderboards for that song and I fc'd it half a year ago.
I'd rather have Freebird as my sig song since I obviously prefer that FC....
Mine's "Complete" Control" by The Clash on Expert Guitar. Took me forever to finally get Gold Stars on it. I could GS that song in my sleep in RB2, so it really bugged me when I couldn't get gold in RB3.
For a long time it was "Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen.
What really bugs me is my most played genre section is Rock and the five songs listed are tracks I'm sure I've only played two, maybe three times at most. One is "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" by Jet, which I'm POSITIVE I've only played once on guitar, maybe once on Pro Drums.
800 Tracks: RB + RB2 + LRB + AC/DC + GDRB + Blitz + 22 RBN + 448 DLC

Read on to see how much this rainy day Georgian wedding cost. Please note that costs change as the years go by, and prices are subject to change. This is just one couple's breakdown to give you a rough estimate on how much a wedding like this may cost you.
Note: Some of the vendors gave us a discount because they are our friends, and a lot of things were also given to us free of charge. All of our desserts were homemade and gifted to us by friends, our very talented friends played the music for the ceremony for free, we bought fresh flowers from Publix and had a friend put together the centerpieces and my bouquet, a friend of mine that owns a printing company didn't charge me to print the pamphlets or the invitations (which I designed myself) and a friend of mine that used to own a catering company loaned me most of the dinnerware (I did have to buy a few extra sets). So many people wanted to bless us and give us their time and resources. I just wanted to give you an idea of what kind of things we were able to avoid spending any money on.
We ended spending about $7,100. Here is the breakdown:
Venue (included chairs, tables & tablecloths): $2,500
Bride's dress & shoes: $550
Groom's suit & shoes: $200
Flowers: $120
Invitations: $80
Decorations & Supplies: $400
Dinnerware: $250

MaineToday's "Truth Test" Falls Short
Submitted by Al Diamon on Mon, 06/25/2012 - 9:44am.Picky, picky: In theory, MaineToday Media's new "Truth Test" feature is a good idea.

Left, Right And The Rest Left Out
Submitted by Al Diamon on Mon, 06/18/2012 - 10:05am.Ideologically ignored: In the wake of former CEO Richard Connor's alleged financial mismanagement, the MaineToday Media newspapers dumped most of their freelance columnists to save money. Now that new majority owner Donald Sussman has injected enough cash into the operation to stave off bankruptcy, the Portland Press Herald, Morning Sentinel, and Kennebec Journal are again attempting to restore some local flavor to their op-ed pages.
Letting The State Decide Who's A Journalist
Submitted by Al Diamon on Mon, 06/11/2012 - 8:14am.It's June, but there's definitely a chill in the air. A state government agency is considering a rule that, in effect, would allow it to make decisions as to what constitutes a real news organization.
WMTW Anchor Misses Her Shot
Submitted by Al Diamon on Wed, 06/06/2012 - 11:26am.Tongue tied: On June 3, Meghan Torjussen was anchoring the late news on WMTW-TV in Portland and attempted to give the results of the NBA playoff game between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.

Updated: Mal Leary's Back – and Other Changes

Pretending Everything's OK at Maine Newspapers
Submitted by Al Diamon on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 10:53am.Self-delusion: The May 26 Bangor Daily News carried an op-ed headlined "Maine newspapers remains strong" that was jointly authored by public relations executive Michael Cuzzi and Lewiston Sun Journal director of new media Tony Ronzio.

The Connor Chronicles Continue

Maine State House Press Corps Gets Thinner
Submitted by Al Diamon on Thu, 05/24/2012 - 5:05am.Augusta exit: There aren't a lot of experienced reporters covering Maine state government these days. There aren't even a lot of inexperienced reporters. The media offices at the Capitol complex have plenty of empty desks and funny echoes.
And they're about to get more so.
