Taxes

I noticed the bit about sifting the January payment (for Dec) to Dec 30 bumps a persons tax liability for 2011.

You have to ask "Why? Why do politicians play this smoke and mirrors game with small stuff?"

Remember way back when? They shifted payday from the end of the month to the 1st just to shift all the pay to the next fiscal year.

I don't remember getting any notification either. I did get a letter from Walgreens today stating that Tricare is taking them off of their Expressscripts provider list though and that Walgreens has made several offers to lower their costs. They have a petition for Tricare users to sign to try to keep them on the list.
