810 Billion...
not so well spent.

So, my dad and I were talking and he asked me how much more money a pay check I got from the amazing stimulus plan. You know, the one that was supposed to give a tax break to 95% of American's by taking less taxes out of their check?

I told him I hadn't really checked it out. He told me he got a whopping 12 dollar increase. I checked mine, thinking I would get a lot more than he did because I make a hell of a lot less than him. Well, that increase ended up being $17.41 a pay check.

That's $452.66 for the year. Now, what can I do with $452 dollars? Pay ONE car payment and buy a pizza or two. But, it's not like I can even pay that payment at once, I would have to save that $17 every pay check and then in January pay a payment.

What can I get for $35 a month? ONE tank of gas, and a case of Coke.

What a great tax break and a perfect excuse to just waste money. Good job Congress.

/sarcasm (as if you didn't catch it)

Damn Southern Maryland.
