---- below Message from Dubble Zero -----

Aujourd'hui President Bush m'a écrit.

Il ne m'a toujours pas répondu au sujet de Bud mais il me parle encore de Homeland Security. Comme quoi ce qu'a fait Bud pour la sécurité n'a pas suffit !

Le "Current Threat Level " est toujours haut ("high") et ils ont préparé de ce fait pour nous tous un espace où on nous explique comment survivre en cas de menaces, de menaces terroristes bien sûr.

cela s'appelle être ready.gov

Les américains sont prêts pour la menace biologique, la menace chimique, les explosions - nucléaires inclus - et la menace de radiation...

Il y a tout pour savoir comment survivre , comment faire ses provisions eau et nourriture, etc ....

Mais dans ces temps de Francophobie aïgue chez Dubble you, comment vont ils faire pour survivre si ils boycottent notre mercurochrome et nos pruneaux d'agen ?

Même si j'écoute la campagne de pub radio , je ne pense pas être ni même jamais devenir ready.gov (ou ready dot gov) . Et toi à Birobidjan es tu ready.gov ?

Bises.

Cath

The Economy
FACTS ON THE PRESIDENT'S JOBS & ECONOMIC GROWTH PLAN

President Bush paid a visit to small business owners in Atlanta, GA to discuss the benefits of his economic growth plan -- especially job creation. The Council of Economic Advisers reports that the President's jobs and growth package will result in increased economic output and jobs starting this year. The biggest impact of the President's growth plan occurs up front, with 1.4 million jobs created by the end of 2004. The centerpiece of the President's plan -- the elimination of the double taxation of dividends -- is primarily responsible for job creation.

The President's jobs and growth plan calls for the acceleration of tax reductions passed in 2001. Small business owners will receive 79 percent (about $10.4 billion) of the $13.3 billion in tax relief from accelerating the reduction in the top tax bracket to 35 percent. This will help small businesses to expand sooner, hire new people faster, and build a stronger foundation for economic recovery.

President Bush's plan also helps working Americans by focusing tax relief on moderate-income families. Americans in the lowest tax brackets receive the largest percentage reduction in their tax burden under President Bush's plan, while Americans in the higher tax brackets will pay a larger share of the total income tax burden. A married couple with two children and income of $40,000 will see their taxes reduced from 1,178 to $45, a decline of 96 percent. Three million moderate-income families will see their income tax eliminated entirely.
