Ick!!Ewwww!! Tax Day :(
I filed an extension. I'm not eager to deal with the paperwork this year. Something about government spending on war, Medicare Part D, Gitmo, excessive regulation, and my general repugnance for politicians sapped my motivation to "get around to it." I'll report my income later, with the help of a discounted, day-after copy of Turbo Tax.
My intention was to blog about pollution in China. But that invariably led me to think about U.S. grain exports that may be needed to feed the Chinese (whose remaining arable land is being sucked into megacities). Then, I started thinking more generally about trade with China which meant thinking specifically about the federal deficit and the national debt. It all led back to the fact that today is Tax Day, which just wears me out.
