Predictably, Congress has upped the president and I'm counting $1,200 for being a tax-paying working couple and another $300 for the kiddo.
That's $1,500 just for agreeing to not holding the souring economy against the president or congress, and looking the other way at the no doubt much larger giveaways to business. (The Wall Steet Journal's lengthy article on the givebacks devotes about four sentences to this part of the fine print. Who says we won't get fooled again?)
What a deal. If Jimmy Carter had thought of this, he'd have gotten re-elected.
Ah well. We're all welfare cases now. I know they call it a rebate, but most of the people getting cut check either didn't pay taxes or didn't pay that much in taxes. Who needs bread and circuses when we have gov'ment checks?
