Start from scratch on taxes? Why there’s a bipartisan push to sunset the tax code

by Kevin Mooney The Daily Signal Few people in either party in Washington are happy with the current tax code, so what if we simply started over?

That is at the root of a proposal to sunset the current tax code on Dec. 31, 2019. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., has introduced the Tax Code Termination Act (HR 27), which would do exactly that.

“Even though tax reform has been discussed for many years, we have yet to see any major actions to simplify the tax code,” Goodlatte said in a press release.

“We must force Congress to tackle tax reform head on. The best way forward is to scrap the current tax code and start fresh. This legislation would allow us, as a nation, to collectively decide what the new tax system should look like.

There are many competing alternatives, but having a set date to end the current tax code will force the issue and the debate to the top of the national agenda.”

Colin Hanna, president of Let Freedom Ring, a conservative organization that supports the proposal, said the sunset date was chosen so the question of whether to scrap the system and start over could be part of the 2016 presidential campaign but the debate over what comes

next would not occur until after the election.

This way, he said, those on the right who want a simpler, flatter code and those on the left who want to make it more progressive both could find a way to support Goodlatte’s legislation, which has 78 co-sponsors.

“We are very carefully not pushing any particular replacement plan,” Hanna told The Daily Signal. “Our goal is to achieve unity from all proponents of fundamental tax reform.”

Hanna said if Democrats come to see they have a good chance to retake the Senate in 2016 they may welcome an opportunity to rewrite the code from scratch. “Some progressives might well see sun-setting the current code as the best first step on the way to greater progressivity in the tax code,” he said. “If they come to that conclusion, I would welcome it as serendipity.”

In the meantime, he has reached out to the two declared Republican presidential contenders — Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas, who both favor replacing the current tax system with a simpler tax code. He intends to reach out to candidates in both major parties.

“I see real opportunity to impact the presidential race and to start a national conversation, and I think we set the right

date,” Hanna said. “If we push it too far out, it doesn’t create a sense of urgency, but if we were to set it too soon then it might create uncertainty and instability in the financial markets.”

But Curtis Dubay, a tax and economic policy analyst with The Heritage Foundation, was less certain of the strategy. Although he “sees no harm,” in getting members of Congress on record who support reform, he would prefer to see elected officials follow through with an alternative to the current tax code.

“If they are going to go through the energy of sunsetting the tax code, why not reform the tax code?” he said. “There will be two congresses between now and 2019, so what happens in the current Congress is not binding on the next.

That’s the problem.”

But Hanna insisted “starting over from scratch” is the way to go.

“This is the kind of proposal that can prompt some introspective thought on the part of those who are serious about reform,” Hanna said. “Those who have particular target dates in mind for more incremental reforms, and those who favor a flat tax or other alternative, will conclude that starting from a blank slate is a whole lot easier than beginning with a 4 millionword tax code that’s

Check home inside and out after spring storms MOBERLY, Mo. — Spending few hours now on spring home maintenance can save you many hours and dollars later, says a University of Missouri Extension housing specialist.

Tom Fuhrman says it’s time to take care of any problems caused by winter weather and spring storms to protect your investment.

Winter’s freeze-and-thaw cycles, hail damage and heavy rains can allow water to enter the home. “Water inside your home is not a friend of the home,” Fuhrman said. Water can result in rot, mold and discoloration, and can also attract rodents and other pests.

Start at the basement and work upward, inside and out, Fuhrman says: • Look for dampness and cracks in the foundation. Seal small cracks and call a foundation expert for larger breaks.

Cracks, bulges and moisture signal problems.

• Check water heaters for corrosion and leaks.

• Check for lint buildup in the dryer duct. Use the attachments on the vacuum cleaner to suck out lint. Make sure the outside vent hood is securely attached.

• Check kitchen appliances. Clean the tray under your refrigerator and vacuum the coils on the back. Check seals. Pull the appliances out from the wall and clean underneath and behind them each spring.

• Check the bathroom tub, shower and stool to see if caulking is intact.

Check areas for water tightness. Examine areas around drains and under sinks for dampness and leaks.

• Check windowsills for buckling or leaks. Check doors; sticking may indicate foundation problems.

• Do a general cleaning. Dust and vacuum weekly. Spring-clean by washing cabinets inside and out and cleaning carpets. Wash windows inside and out. Re-

move storm windows and wash screens with a mild detergent before installing.

Sudoku Answer Solution to puzzle from previous edition.

Take a walk around the outside of your home: • Check for cracks in the basement, crawl space, brick or masonry.

• Look for loose siding and trim, and for paint that has peeled or cracked.

• Check for loose or leaky gutters.

Make sure downspouts drain water away from the foundation. Remove leaves and other debris from gutters.

• Use a screwdriver to probe for rotted areas of exposed wood trim around windows, doors, decks and railings.

• From the ground, check for buckled or loose roof shingles. Use binoculars to inspect closely. Pay special attention to areas around the chimney, skylights and vents.

• Check the chimney for signs of damage. Hire a chimney sweep to clean the chimney.

• Remove firewood stored near the house. This prevents rodents and insects from finding a summer home.

• Have an HVAC expert examine the air conditioning and furnace units.

Change furnace filters monthly.

• Check for cracks in driveways and sidewalks.

• Fill in low-lying areas with compacted soil, especially near the foundation. Spring rains can wash away soil and let water seep into your crawl space or basement.

• Power wash your home’s exterior.

• Spring-clean your windows inside and out. Fuhrman recommends a lowcost vinegar-and-water mix and newspapers to clean.

Abortion procedure extracting unborn child ‘one piece at a time’ triggers controversy in Kansas

by Kelsey Harkness The Daily Signal Mary Spaulding Balch has been fighting against what she calls “dismemberment abortion” since she was 17 years old.

Now, at 60, she’s breathing a sigh of relief.

“It’s been a long time. Too long,” Balch told The Daily Signal in a phone interview. “I was naïve enough to think back in the 70s, we would be able to get this under control rather quickly.”

Balch was referring to an abortion procedure that requires doctors to “knowingly dismember” a living unborn child during the second trimester and extract it “one piece at a time” from the mother’s uterus.

On Tuesday, Kansas became the first state in the nation to ban a certain type of dilation and evacuation procedure, where the unborn child is dismembered before being killed.

Similar legislation was introduced in Missouri, South Carolina and Oklahoma.

In Oklahoma, the bill was approved by the Senate on Wednesday afternoon and will now go to the governor’s desk, where she is expected to sign it into law.

Pro-life advocates — including Republican Gov. Sam Brownback — say this type of dilation and evacuation (or “D&X”) is a particularly “horrific” way to end an unborn child’s life.

“This is a horrific procedure and we are pleased to ban it in Kansas and we hope it will be banned nationally,” Brownback said after signing the bill into law.

According to language passed by the Kansas state legislature, the procedure requires “the use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors or similar instruments that, through the convergence of two rigid levers, slice, crush or grasp a portion of the unborn child’s body in order to cut or rip it off.”

The bill does not ban dilation and evacuation where the unborn child is killed by suction without the use of forceps or where the unborn child is killed by a lethal injection before dismemberment.

The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says the method is “safe and effective” for the mother, is often “less emotionally challenging” and usually “faster and may be more cost-effective” than medical abortion.

With a medical abortion, certain drugs are taken to cause an abortion. A medical abortion does not require surgery or anesthesia, but multiple visits to a health care provider are needed.

The pro-life movement has been been waging a war on this type of dilatation and extraction — what

they call “dismemberment abortion” — for years.

“We’re talking about a living unborn child, where the body is formed to the point where you can’t simply use a vacuum to remove that child,” Balch, who now serves as the director of state legislation for National Right to Life, told The Daily Signal. “You now have to go in with sharp forceps to grab limbs and disarticulate them from the baby’s body, and the baby dies by bleeding to death.”

Opponents of Kansas’ new law, like Julie A. Burkhart of the pro-choice Trust Women Foundation, call Kansas’ legislation “dangerous” because it “dictates to physicians the scope of their practice and implies that certain medical treatments that physicians may use would lead to criminalization.”

Pro-choice groups also criticize the law for not including exemptions for cases of rape and incest (only to preserve the life or health of the mother) and fear the ban is a first step to outlawing all types of abortions.

“Planned Parenthood is disappointed but not surprised by the signing of Senate Bill 95, which was written not by physicians and medical experts, but by a national interest group bent on banning abortion across the country,” said Laura McQuade, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, in a press release. “We will continue to expose all extreme political measures aimed at denying women access to health care and at undermining their decision-making ability.”

Balch, whose organization National Right to Life penned the legislation, says women seeking life-ending procedures still have choices.

“There are other abortion procedures that would be available to a woman who is raped but this particular procedure — there’s no reason to do that to an innocent unborn child,” she said.

Senate Bill 95, which was signed into law during a private ceremony on Tuesday by Brownback, is likely to be challenged in courts.

The bill appears to conflict with decisions handed

down both by the Kansas Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court, which legalized abortion until a fetus is able to survive outside the womb.

In that case, Balch says, National Right to Life would “welcome” the opportunity to defend the policy in court.

We think the time has come for the American people to understand just what a ‘dismemberment abortion’ is. We think that if they knew what was happening in secret—what is happening within the closed doors of groups like Planned Parenthood where they literally rip a living unborn child from limb to limb until he or she bleeds to death—I think most American people would demand that it stop.

This article was updated to clarify the type of dilation and evacuation abortion procedure Kansas’ bill addresses.

Pot or plot?

‘Right-size’ plant picks for gardening success (BPT) — Have you ever walked into a room that was so full of over-sized furniture it made an already small space feel miniscule and unusable? Or tricked your tummy into being satisfied with less food by using a small plate to make a modest portion look huge?

Scale makes a decided difference in many aspects of life, and gardening is no different.

Whether you’re gardening in containers or have a big plot in your backyard, right-sizing your plant picks to coincide with your available garden space can yield a more productive and pleasurable gardening experience.

More than a third of all American households now grow some type of food themselves, making food gardening the third largest yard activity after landscaping and lawn care, the National Gardening Survey shows.

Whether you aim to trim grocery bills by growing your own produce, add your own fresh herbs to your summer cooking, or just plain love to garden, choosing the right plants for your gardening space — pot or plot — is your best bet for great success.

Get your garden growing Veggie and herb gardens need plenty of sunshine and water, no matter what you’re planting, or growing them in. Six to eight hours of bright light every day is best, so choose a sundrenched spot in your yard for raised beds or larger gardens, and place pots and containers on sunny porches, decks or patios.

Use a good potting mix for containers and raised beds; it should be light weight and provide fast drainage. For garden plots, till soil, test for quality and work any necessary amendments into the soil before planting. All food

Planting plots

plants need to be fed. Consistent and frequent watering, good drainage and a quality plant food such as Bonnie Plant Food are needed for good plant health and harvest.

Cultivating in containers and raised beds Gardening doesn’t require a huge plot of land for hefty harvests and good success. Planting in containers can solve space problems and raised beds allow you to enjoy a garden if you’re short on space or have poor soil quality in your yard. Place containers in a sunny spot, whether it’s an apartment balcony or backyard patio. Make sure the pots are large enough for the plants you’ll put in them and have good drainage holes. Consider container color; dark containers will absorb more heat, so try using lighter colored containers.

Plants suited for containers include: • All herbs.

• All greens. Add flowers to the same pot for an ornamental touch.

• Tomatoes like Bonnie Plants’ popular Husky Cherry Red, Patio, Bush Early Girl, Bush Goliath and Better Bush. For larger varieties, use a large pot, at least 5 gallons for each plant and support plants with a cage.

• Smaller eggplants such as Patio Baby Mini Eggplants.

• Peppers, like Lunchbox Sweet Snacking Peppers, that are smaller in size and high in yield.

• Cucumbers if you add a trellis to the pot and train them to climb.

Raised beds can host bigger veggies like Beefmaster Tomatoes, or varieties that require more room to spread on the ground like zucchini. They’re also great for greens like collards, lettuce, mustard and Swiss chard, and a variety of peppers, beans and eggplants.

In-ground gardens allow you much more room for larger plants.

Even if your plot isn’t huge, it can accommodate plants that require more room, like watermelon and corn. In addition to staples for your table like greens, tomatoes and peppers, a garden plot allows you to incorporate a greater variety of veggies, like beans, peas and squash, in your garden plans.

No matter where you live or how much or little space you might have, you can enjoy growing your own food. Be sure to right-size, according to your space and need. Once you get growing, you’ll love the homegrown flavor of your harvest and the enjoyment gardening brings.

Know what’s below: Call 811 before digging for landscaping and home improvement projects (BPT) — With the snow melted and the ground thawed, many eager homeowners and landscape professionals across the country will roll up their sleeves and reach for their garden shovels to start projects that require digging this spring.

During the transition into “digging season,” Common Ground Alliance, the association dedicated to protecting underground utilities and the people who dig near them, reminds homeowners and professional diggers that calling 811 is the first step toward protecting you and your community from the risk of unintentionally damaging an underground

line.

Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a free call to 811. Installing a mailbox or fence, building a deck and landscaping are all examples of digging projects that should only begin a few days after making a call to 811. Calling this number connects you to your local one-call utility notification center.

Nearly half of American homeowners say they do not plan to make a free call to 811 before digging, according to data collected

by CGA in late February.

Extrapolated to the full population of U.S. homeowners, approximately 38.6 million people will

dig this year without first calling 811.

A utility line is damaged every six minutes in America because someone decided to dig without making a call to 811 to learn the approximate location of buried utilities in their area. Unintentionally striking one of these lines can result in inconvenient outages for entire neighborhoods, harm to yourself or your neighbors and repair costs.

As a result, CGA offers the following tips to make sure you complete your project safely and without any utility service interruptions, so you don’t become a statistic.

Here’s how the 811

process works: 1. One free, simple phone call to 811 makes it easy for your local one-call center to notify all appropriate utility companies of your intent to dig. Call a few days prior to digging to ensure enough time for the approximate location of utility lines to be marked with flags or paint.

2. When you call 811, a representative from your local one-call center will ask for the location and description of your digging project.

3. Your local one-call center will notify affected utility companies, which will then send professional locators to the proposed dig site to mark the

approximate location of your lines.

4. Only once all lines have been accurately marked, roll up those sleeves and carefully dig around the marked areas.

There are nearly 20 million miles of underground utility lines in the United States that your family depends on for everyday needs including electric, gas, water and sewer, cable TV, highspeed Internet and landline telephone, which equals more than a football field’s length of utilities for every person in the United States. With that much critical infrastructure underground, it’s important to know what’s

below and call 811 before digging.

Was winter hard on your hardscape?

Tips for simple DIY repairs Old fuel can be hard on lawn mowers (BPT) — Nothing says summer like neighborhoods coming alive with the sounds of lawn mowers and the smell of fresh-cut grass.

But getting the lawn mower out of the shed and running properly can be a struggle early in the season. You turn the key and the riding lawn mower roars to life. Then the engine promptly sputters and dies. Before tearing apart the engine or calling a mechanic, look inside the gas tank. “Every spring, we see issues with mowers caused by homeowners using gasoline left over from the year before,� says Dwight Grosz, a small engine mechanic near Bismarck, N.D. “Over time, untreated fuel begins to break down, which leads to hard starting, poor performance or an engine that won’t start at all.�

produce new compounds, explains Herskind. This results in gum, which can clog gas lines and filters and create deposits in the fuel system. Gummed-up carburetors can be expensive to fix and may not run properly until deposits are removed. “Finally, there’s the issue of water contamination,� adds Herskind. Water usually finds its way into fuel tanks through condensation caused by fluctuating temperatures. Water in your engine will lead to hard starting and sputtering.

owner’s manual for maintenance recommendations.

First, change the oil to remove contaminants, sludge and acids. Drain the old oil out and refill the crankcase. Grosz recommends using oil manufactured specifically for smaller engines and lawn mowers, such as Cenex 2-Cycle Oil. Consult your owner’s manual for manufacturer recommendations.

Next, replace the air filter. Last, don’t forget to sharpen the mower blade and remove any grass that’s caked to the underside of the motor deck.

How to fix it If your mower won’t start because you’ve been using old gasoline, you’ll need to remove the old fuel and any built-up residue in the engine. Begin by referring to the owner’s manual for service procedures.

Next, siphon out the old gasoline into a container for proper disposal. Then, if the lawn mower runs for a few seconds and dies, the carburetor might be clogged or have old fuel in the float bowl. “When the volatile ingredients in fuel evaporate, it leaves a sticky, varnishlike substance that clogs the small jets in carburetors,� says Grosz. “Once that happens, the only solution is to use a carburetor cleaner to remove varnish deposits.�

After cleaning the carburetor, add fresh fuel and a fuel stabilizer to help keep the system clean.

Why gasoline goes bad What causes gasoline to break down? The first thing to go is gasoline’s volatility.

The lightest chemicals evaporate first, leaving a heavier gasoline that doesn’t combust properly. The engine will probably still run, just not as well. “A more serious problem is oxidization,� says Paul Herskind, a refined fuels expert at CHS, which refines and sells Cenex-brand fuels at more than 1,400 fueling locations. “When inspecting fuel that has sat unused over the winter, watch for signs that it is darker in color and smells sour. It might have small pieces of gum floating in it. These are all signs the fuel has oxidized. You don’t want that in your engine.�

Oxidization is the result of hydrocarbons in the fuel reacting with oxygen to

After treating the fuel Grosz advises going through a quick checklist to ensure your mower’s ready for the season. Consult your

How to avoid future issues “To avoid future issues with stale fuel, try not to store gasoline in tanks or containers for more than two months,� says Herskind. “If you know gasoline will be sitting for longer than that, add a fuel stabilizer. This will help prevent oxidization.� At the end of the season, use a fuel stabilizer rather than draining the gas tank, which exposes carburetors and fuel lines to water and air. “A quality fuel stabilizer can keep gas fresh for as long as 12 to 15 months.

But the stabilizer needs to be added to new gasoline,� says Herskind. “It won’t bring stale fuel back to life.�

For more helpful information on engine maintenance, refined fuels and other useful topics. “Readers are also given an opportunity to nominate someone they know for free fuel,� adds Herskind. “It is always easier to get the lawn mower started with a fresh tank of gasoline, especially if it’s free.“

(BPT) — Heavy snowfall that lingers for weeks or months, extreme temperatures, ice that thaws and then refreezes — Old Man Winter can be rough on your home’s hardscape. When the last vestiges of cold weather finally melt away, you can find yourself heading into spring with pitted driveways, cracked asphalt and crumbling landscaping. It’s important to make repairs before summer heats up and puts further stress on these important areas.

Doing your own hardscape repairs isn’t difficult. You’ll save money, and doing it yourself gives you the opportunity to get some outdoor exercise this spring. Here are some hardscape features that commonly need a little TLC in the spring: Asphalt driveways — Winter delivers the perfect mix of conditions to cause potholes, pits and cracks in asphalt surfaces. Wet, cold conditions work to weaken minute fissures, cracks and other flaws in an asphalt driveway. Add in the vehicles that travel over it constantly — not to mention the occasional snow plow — and when spring arrives, your asphalt driveway could need some serious repair.

While you may need pros to pour new asphalt, repairing existing asphalt is well within the abilities of most DIYers. For pothole repairs, start by sweeping and removing any loose materials from the area needing repair. Next, pour U.S. Cold Patch by Sakrete in the trouble spot and spread evenly to a depth of no more than 2 inches at a time. Use the back side of a shovel to compact the material, then, since there is no oily tracking with this material, just drive over it a few times with your vehicle. The compaction causes the product to cure into an effective patch. For deeper potholes, keep repeating in 2 inch amounts until completely filled.

Patios and pavers — Patio pavers and bricks can shift, sink or raise, and even crack during a tough winter. If your patio has a sand underlay, fixing problems is relatively easy. For broken or cracked pavers, simply remove the damaged pieces, check that the sand is level, and fill the gap with a new paver or brick. If your patio has become uneven over time,

you’ll need to lift all the uneven pavers, level the sand beneath — you may have to add sand — and then put the pavers back atop the now-level sand.

Concrete surfaces — Concrete is a common hardscape material around homes across the country. Concrete driveways, walkways and steps can all succumb to cracking, crumbling, chipping and spalling after a harsh winter. Fortunately, concrete is an easy material to fix, and patching a problem while it’s small may help prevent a much costlier repair or even replacement down the road. To repair cracks of virtually any size, simply apply an easy-to-use concrete patcher.

Power wash cracks to remove debris. For larger fissures, it may be necessary to use a hammer and chisel to remove crumbling concrete and produce a clean, clearly delineated repair site.

For resurfacing old, damaged or spalled concrete, resurfacing materials provide an easy alternative to costly replacement. Simply remove loose materials from the surface, mix the material, dampen the concrete surface with water and pour the resurfacing material onto the concrete slab. Use a long-handled squeegee to spread the mixture evenly.

Be sure to protect expansion and control joints with tape to prevent filling.

Retaining walls — Whether your brick, stone or cinderblock retaining wall is acting as a retaining wall or simply a decorative one, moisture is not its friend. If your region has had a lot of snow this past winter, check your landscaping walls for damage such as cracks in mortar, shifted stones or crumbling bricks. Repairing cracked mortar is easy as long as the bricks or stones it secures remain in good position. Just use a hammer and chisel to carefully remove the cracked mortar to a little more than half the depth of the stone or brick, taking care not to damage the bricks. Then fill the gap with new mortar. To replace cracked bricks in ornamental walls, remove the damaged brick and the mortar around it, then remortar and replace with a new brick A few simple repairs will help ensure your home’s hardscape is in good shape, and ready for whatever summer weather brings.
