$13 Bucks A Week
Are you paying attention?
Get ready.
You might want to sit yourselves down, in the event you were to faint from the shock you can slump back into the chair.
I know you must be drooling with glorified visions in your head of just what you're going to do with all that fucking money, and you should be...
...because Pbama is going to let us keep...
...( DRUM ROLL!)...
...an extra $13 dollar a week: (That IS NOT A MISPRINT OR TYPO! Thirteen-big smackaroos extra a week! Woooo Hoooo! We're all going to be Daddy Warbucks in no time under Pbamanomics!)
Officials estimated it would mean about $13 a week more in people's paychecks this year when withholding tables are adjusted in late spring. Next year, the measure could yield workers about $8 a week. Critics say that's unlikely to do much to boost consumption.
"The most highly touted tax cut in the original proposal now translates into $7.70 a week for middle-class workers," said Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Millions of people receiving Social Security benefits would get a one-time payment of $250 under the agreement, along with veterans receiving pensions, and poor people receiving Supplemental Security Income payments.
I hope McConnell isn't speaking like this $13 and $8 a week bump is some kind of accomplishment. It's not. It's tragic.
That $13 is taxable income, so figure you'll net a bit more than half.
The tax credits in the bill are just that, tax credits; which are not the same as tax cuts. If you're not a first-time home buyer or looking to buy a brand new car (who is, pre-owned/used car sales are increasing) then there is little in it for you.
$13 fucking dollars. Gee, Barry...Nanny...Harry...are you sure the government will be okay without that $13? I wouldn't want to compromise any entitlements whose budgets were heinously axed just so I could get an extra, whopping $13 a week. Are you sure our infrastructure can handle doling out $13 extra dollars per week to people who work?
Any Republican who votes to approve this stimulus legislation is not a Conservative.

118 billion amounts to less than 20% of the money of the Welfare for Welfare Bill. What is the other 80%? Pork, pure and simple.
So, whattaya gonna spend all your money on? ;-)
It's insanity. We are doomed.
