Congressional
leaders announced a deal with the White House Thursday for the release of more bread to citizens that would free up valuable coin for the attendence of circuses. Leaders sighted a widely noted poll which concluded that The People, who, once upon a time, handed out military command, high civil office, batallions, everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.
Congressional leaders announced a deal with the White House Thursday on an economic stimulus package that would give most tax filers refunds of $600 to $1,200, and more if they have children.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Congress would act on the agreement — hammered out in a week of intense negotiations with Republican Leader John A. Boehner and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson — "at the earliest date, so that those rebate checks will be in the mail."

I agree completely. I almost laughed the other day when an expert explained how the stimulus will pay for itself with increased tax revenue.

It seems pretty short-sighted to me.

Last time a move like this took place, most US citizens ended up paying more in taxes than they received as a rebate... personally, I got hosed by that one.

It is irritating to me that the democrats have decided to take $200 from each person who paid taxes and give it to someone who did not. Origally each tax paying person was suposed to get back 800 of THEIR money that they paid in taxes. But the demorats decided that we should have to not only pay taxes to the government but also share our money with those who did not. This is not a socialist country and I am tired of it.
