On Other Blogs Today
Once again, here are some of the more notable posts on other blogs today.
1. SeattlePI.com's Strange Bedfellows came upon a cool little web app today. It's a simulation that gives you, the esteemed reader, a chance to stabilize the U.S.'s debt at 60 percent of the gross domestic product by 2018. It's no easy task, of course, but it's a chance to show the federal government how it's done, or at least burn through some boring downtime at work.
2. Richard S. Davis of the Washington Alliance for a Competitive Economy takes a critical look at the effects of the high-earners income tax proposed in an initiative supported by Bill Gates, Sr., and the Washington State Labor Council's support of the tax on the WashACE Blog.
3. The Spokesman Review's Spin Control found a glitch in the Washington State Labor Council's annual legislative report card, which we reported on here. Because Senator Bob McCaslin (R-4, Spokane Valley), who was not and probably never will be known for pro-union legislating, was out for the majority of the session because of a heart problem he got a 100 percent pro-union voting record--the highest in the Senate--by the WSLC's standard.
