Accountants say Biden-Harris would destroy US economy

Washington Examiner:
Accountants support reelecting President Trump by a wide margin, according to a survey conducted by Arizent, the publisher of Accounting Today.
The poll found that 55% of respondents back Trump, while 38% support former vice president Joe Biden.
Not only is the gap between support for Trump and Biden wide, but the anonymous comments from respondents also show that the division is quite polarized.
“I believe a Biden-Harris win would destroy the country,” said one respondent who supports Trump.
Another said, "I will close my business and retire if Harris/Biden is elected."
Biden supporters were equally firm in their position.
...
I agree with the majority of accountants surveyed.  Biden's goofy tax and spend program is a proven loser.

Judd Greg, writing at The Hill says of the Biden budget:
...
The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania a number of years ago developed a comprehensive and substantive platform for evaluating the federal budget.

This model was built so that those who govern and those who are governed could have an accurate and reasonably unbiased analysis of federal fiscal activities.

It is one of the most useful and effective tools around for figuring out just what the federal government and the various players who lead it in the Democratic and Republican parties are really up to.

The conclusion, after reviewing the opening bids put forward by Biden and his people, creates a rather desperate picture that could best described as horrible, if not “the horror.”

The most disconcerting shift in the Biden budget is its radical expansion of the size of the federal government as a percentage of national economic activity.

For the first time in our history, other than during the Second World War, the federal government will absorb almost 25 percent of our nation’s wealth under the Biden budget.

If you add in the activities of states and cities, government spending will easily exceed a quarter of the country’s economic output.

And this is only the opening gambit.

Approximately $5.4 trillion of spending on new programs or expanded federal social programs is proposed in the Biden budget over ten years.

A trillion dollars seems to have become the new billion dollars when it comes to federal spending sprees.
...
There is more.  Biden should be asked about his disastrous budget at the debate.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
