Maybe It Is A St. Valentine Day Treat? President Obama, Congressional leaders and most economists says that the stimulus package just passed by The legislation comes with a price tag equaling about $3,000 for every man, woman, and child in the United States. Wow! If that was how much tax relief were were talking about, it would be one heck of a stimulus! Instead, we are being told to expect a $13 weekly increase in our paychecks. What I want to know is, what is the other $2,987 per worker (not to mention the nonworking men, women, and children) being spent on? Unfortunately, most of the politicans who voted on it don't know either. They never read the 1080 page spending bill as it was printed just hours before the vote. This a fine example of fiscal responsibility set by our leaders. It makes one want to run home and say, "Hey honey, our finances are a mess. Take the credit card and buy what ever you want! We need a stimulus! What the heck, it's St. Valentine Day, Sweetie! Hey, why not? Stanley J. Kazwell, Jr's book.
