Social Security COLA and Medicare rate hikes

The following was sent to me by a friend, a retired detective, who gave me permission to submit it here. I checked his information, it's true.

On Myths and Fairy Tales: The Sad State of Political Knowledge

Recently, right here in Carson City, I was asked to sign a “Petition to Impeach President Obama”. I was told to “impeach” meant to remove a sitting President from office and that by merely signing this petition, President Obama and his wife Michelle, would be leaving the White House because “the people have spoken.”

Feds to Help Keep Sage Grouse Off Endangered List

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The Obama administration is launching an effort to accelerate protection of sage grouse along the California-Nevada line with $31 million in spending through 2024 to help ranchers and others improve habitat in what one top official says may be the best, last chance to keep the bi-state population off the list of threatened species.

Column: 'Rich' folks paid more tax in 2013

Some high earning individuals were surprised when they got their 2013 Individual Income Tax Return. They paid more taxes in 2013 than they did on the same income in 2012. Several different tax laws caused the higher federal income taxes.

The Itemized Deductions on Schedule A of form 1040 were reduced if single individuals had more than $250,000 of total income. Even their home mortgage interest and charitable deductions were reduced to less than they paid. Married couples saw the “phase down” of Itemized Deductions if their total income was $300,000 or more.

What Is Common Core, and Who Cares?

What is Common Core (CC) and why should you care?

Its proponents say CC is merely a set of standards for kindergarten through twelfth-grade education developed by disinterested and public-spirited experts at the request of the nation’s governors and state school superintendents.

How New Emissions Restrictions Affect Nevada

The Obama administration is laying out plans to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by 30 percent by 2030 to reduce global warming. States must come up with plans to meet their individualized targets, which will vary across the nation. States will have until 2017 and in some cases 2018 to submit their cleanup plans. Here's how the plan affects Nevada:

Column: The MyRA savings plan explained

President Obama announced a new kind of retirement plan called “MyRA.” It won’t do very much to reduce your income taxes because the contributions to this new retirement savings plan are not deductible on your tax return. It is your account and you keep it if you change jobs.

The accounts for this plan will be funded or paid with what wages are left after payroll deductions. It is paid from what you have left after taxes.

HHS Grants Extra Time to Enroll for Health Care

The Obama administration is granting more time for people to apply for health care if they started the process but were unable to complete it before the March 31 deadline.

Higher flood insurance costs coming to Nevada

Nearly 1,300 federally subsidized flood insurance policies in Nevada are set to feel the sting of flood insurance rate hikes, despite a rate relief law President Barack Obama signed Friday.

Proposed 20/20 Group Compromise

Let's ignore the 80/800 group of businesses in Carson City, for the moment, and consider meeting the 20/20 group in a compromise over the sales tax increase to pay for their proposed ten million dollar corridor improvements. Why not have them put up half the money of $5 Million ($250K each) and the city can match their investment for the remaining half? Let's all compromise and meet them halfway. If they are willing to put up their money, where our taxes are to be spent, then let hear it for compromise.

Nevada Division of Insurance: Canceled insurance policies won't be extended

The Nevada Division of Insurance announced Wednesday that it would not extend canceled health care policies because doing so would conflict with both state law and federal laws.
Here is a statement below from the Nevada Division of Insurance:

Common Core - A Stab at the Heart of American Education

They say 45 states have adopted the Common Core “State” Standards for grades K-12. If you have not heard about them yet, that’s because they rammed it through with the same “you have to pass it to find out what’s in it” arrogance that gave us obamacare. The two of them are pillars of the “fundamental transformation” that candidate Obama promised in 2008.

Orwellian NEW-Speak: Budget Cut Language Engineering

Orwellian NEW-Speak: Budget Cut Language Engineering

Orwellian New-Speak: Budget Cut Lies

Does anyone out there actually believe that Congressional sequestration results in budget cuts? The federal spending under sequestration goes up every year without congress even passing a budget. If the automatic baseline budget grows less than is required by law then Washington, our media, and the New-speak columnists misinform the people of our nation that there has been a cut when in fact spending is increasing. There are no cuts which is why spending goes up each year.

Immigration 'Reforms'? Real Reform Is As Simple As 1-2-3-4

Synopsis

1. Secure the borders.
2. Quit politicizing immigration and illegal immigration.
3. Turn off the magnet to illegal immigration.
4. Put an end to “anchor babies.”

Introduction

As an immigrant and a naturalized U.S. citizen myself, with several generations of U.S. citizens in my extended family tree and none left in Europe, I am writing to express my most vehement protest against the proposed “reforms” in our immigration laws that are being announced at the present time, whether they come from the president or Congress.
