First, there are more walking in lock step on the left than there ultimately were on the right. That's change! This new stimulus package is truly different from the one President Bush designed, and here are just a couple of differences. Each person working will receive an extra $12.00 on his paycheck, due to less withholding. Isn't that lovely, but I'm guessing the 1040's to be filed next year will not have changed, so anyone that didn't get at least a $400.00 refund on an individual return or $800.00 married, filing jointly, just may find themselves owing money. And what about the $250,000.00 income to define wealthy, regarding taxes being raised. I heard this morning, it's $75,000.00 for an individual and $150,000.00 for a married couple. Wow! A President whose campaign rhetoric was redefined after inauguration. Is this bold change or what! I remember one that said, "Read my lips" regarding taxes and sure enough, when he chose differently, it cost him the next election. Please keep that in mind, President Obama. Or, maybe we the people should keep that in mind. We seem to forget quickly, especially those on the extremes of either party. Now, here are some interesting facts as well. Those on unemployment will get a $25.00 a week raise, which is twice as much as those working. And the first $2400.00 of unemployment is tax exempt. It's beginning to look like those without employment may end up money ahead of those working. And those aspiring for success may realize, they need to set their sites lower, monetarily, to actually succeed. There was something about government employee pensions, but I didn't catch that particular promise. That's right, those promises will remain at least for a time, because according to our new President, he plans to hire on 3 to 4 more million government employees, to repair the infrastructure. Stimulus schimulus, everything is about to be redefined, right before our very eyes. I sure hope those open-minded lock step left supporters, see it before the faithful followers of the last administration.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. a Proverb of Holy Scripture
