Record Federal Tax Haul In Month Of May, 2015

The Washington Times is reporting:

The federal government set a record tax haul in April, taking in nearly a half-trillion dollars in one month alone.

April is always a busy month with the tax deadline on April 15, but this year’s haul was historic, totaling $472 billion, far outstripping the previous monthly record, set last April, of $414 billion.

Spending, meanwhile, was a more modest $317 billion, leaving the government with a surplus for that one month of $155 billion — also a record.

Overheard in the halls of Congress: how are we going to spend all that money?

Is Drudge The 2nd Most Influential Man In America?

The Hill asks.

Ludicrous.

The Drudge Report is simply an aggregator of news. It simply links articles printed by other media. From what I can tell, The Drudge Report writes no stories of its own. The Drudge Report is simply an internet periodical library.

Many of the links are to The New York Times and The Washington Post.
