    I'm paying $2,300 more per year for gasoline than when the Idiot-in-Chief took office.

    $600 will get me to . . . about April 15.

    I guess that somehow figures.

    It's only 18.4 cents . . . which would have lowered last night's fillup from $75 to $72.

    The government should really be encouraging people to retire personal debt rather than buy a new flat screen TV.

    That would kill the precious GDP growth numbers.

    Noooooooooooo.

    Not denying that there's some idiotic consumer behavior out there, but it's worth noting that roughly half of bankruptcies are a result of our glorious health care system.

    What rebate? I don't get squat. $150,000 joint filing in a major metro area is pretty paltry but, heck, I guess I'm rich.

    This "stimulus package" is just incredibly dumb.

    Ain't 100% free. You will be taxed on it next year.

    Our tax man said we won't. I asked about that when we got our taxes done months ago.

    So, do we have to pay this one back like the one in 2001? Seriously, I'm unclear on this ...

    I'm pretty sure there are no tax ramifications next year. After what Uncle Sam just did to me (I own a part time semi-successful business) I'll use whatever money he gives me. I agree with Yawn--vote the bastards out. The House should be limited to four terms (8 years) and the Senate should be limited to two terms (12).
