Bush's $600 stimulus vs. Obama's $600 stimulus
Michelle Obama said: "You're getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything. But maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month."1. Oh wait. She was talking about President Bush's $600 stimulus last year, and not her husband's $600 stimulus this year.
Actually, it is much worse than that. The Bush $600 was an actual check sent to taxpayers. The Obama proposal is a $600 ($13 per week!) tax credit. Which means that you will receive this year's $600 sometime after you file your 2009 taxes. Which, if you are like most people, means after April 15, 2010.
Or even later if you wait until you are nominated for a cabinet position to file them.
Hope. And Change.

In 1965 My band played for $10.00 apiece.
There were FOUR of us.
Just like the Beatles .
The Beatles made many Millions of dollars .
We ,sadly , did not .
I have no grudge against those no-talent pieces of crap who can NEVER stand up to the good names of THE STONES or THE ZEPPLIN..but I digress..
In 1965 $13.00 a week actually MEANT something . Today cigarettes cost $5.50 a pack at 7-11 ( thank GOD I no longer smoke!).
What are those buttheads in Washington thinking???
That I'm actually going to thank them for an extra night's work PLUS three bucks , Based on a 1965 income ?
If they really think they can mollify the population of this land by a
return to the genereous payouts of 1965 they need another think !
AH ! I see the folly of my submission as the house (ALL !,DEMS AND REPS)NEVER read ALL of the MONEY GRAB ! Pity that. NOW they'll have something to work for to HELP you voters get over the stuff they were too craven to deal with earlier.
WE SEND PEOPLE TO WASHINGTON TO REPRESENT US AND THEY LIKE THE CLIMATE AND DECIDE TO LIVE THERE !
WHETHER WASHINGTON OR AUSTIN , THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATION !
