A proposed tax rebate check…
January 24th, 2008Perfect timing, really, considering the Public is as dissatisfied with the Legislative Branch as they are with the Executive Branch. The decider (mouthpiece #1) is apparently going to have his installed official (mouthpiece #2) in the Treasury announce his decision by Thursday? Oh wait, no, let us pretend all of the ‘deciding’ is going on between the ‘two’ parties, the “Democrats” and the “Republicans”. The same two parties that refuse to impeach Bush or Cheney for innumerable legitimate offenses. Fuck you Reid. Fuck you Pelosi. Fuck you.
Economy souring, the dollar worth less every minute, potential war, war on terror, war on civil rights, endless war…
I’d highly suggest if you do get a rebate to put it in a savings account, because whoever is going to have to clean up this steaming pile of shit that George Bush and Dick Cheney are leaving behind where America used to stand…well, let’s just say that getting things back on track isn’t going to be cheap.
It really does feel like by accepting the government’s “blood money”- let’s face it the war has not done wonders for the $bottom line$ of the USA- we are selling our souls to the devil.
Spend, spend, spend little piggies. Do not pay any attention to the man behind the curtain!
I’m not sure how I feel about agreeing with the Cato Institute, but:
http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/2008/01/24/stimulus-package-is-welfare-not-tax-cuts/
“In fact, the $100 billion is simply extra spending; it is a giant one-time welfare program. To pay for it, the government will borrow an added $100 billion, which will impose $100 billion of higher taxes on future generations.
Suppose there was a Democrat in the White House and she proposed $100 billion in cash hand-outs to families. She could structure it exactly the same way as Bush has, but call it a “Family Food and Health Care Supplement.” The minority GOP would probably denounce it strongly as wasteful welfare, which it would be.
But, as we have seen dozens of times since 2001, because the political operators in the White House call themselves Republicans and conservatives, many members of the Republican party appear to be going along with this nonsense.”

Others feel that the Democrats in Congress need to be held accountable for denying the will of the Public.
