September 20, 2011

Thanks, Dave, for getting political last night.

In addition to having Dr. Jill Biden, the vice president's wife, as a guest on his CBS Late Show, David Letterman's Top 10 list focused on the president's latest fiscal proposals.

If you don't have time to watch the video, here are the Top 10 Highlights Of Barack Obama's Deficit Plan:

10. Pay everything off with a giant bake sale on the White House lawn,

9. New 10,000 percent tax on waffles — no way people are giving up their waffles!

8. Congressional Super Committee now reports to even more powerful Super Duper Committee.

7. Medicare no longer covers ass X-rays.

6. From now on, quarters are worth 26 cents.

5. Change the definition of the word "deficit".

4. Seniors must wait until they're 112 before they can collect Social Security.

3. Open more post offices — those places are money machines!

And the number one highlight of Obama's deficit plan:

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
