Chump Change You Can Believe In....

I just read an article on the current "stimulus" bill. It reads as follows:
"...The $500-per-worker credit for lower- and middle-income taxpayers that Obama outlined during his presidential campaign was scaled back to $400 during bargaining by the Democratic-controlled Congress and White House. Couples would receive $800 instead of $1,000. Over two years, that move would pump about $25 billion less into the economy than had been previously planned.

Officials estimated it would mean about $13 a week more in people's paychecks when withholding tables are adjusted in late spring. Critics say that's unlikely to do much to boost consumption."

$13 per week? Oh Goodie, now mom can have that operation!!! These (insert your favorite series of profanities here) in Washington D.C. have just stole our individual liberty in the name of economic recovery, while ensuring economic disaster. Thank the Almighty above for these politicians for enslaving my children, grand children and great grand children to a crushing debt that will be paid in their lifetimes. That addition of $13 dollars a week equates to nothing more than 1 and a 1/2 dozen donuts (which I don't buy anyway).

I feel better already
