Can’t Even Buy a Cheap Pair of Earrings

Posted in: Economy,News,TYS | February 12th, 2009

The Anchoress, commenting on The Obama’s munificent gift of $13 a week for us poor tax-paying schmucks, reminds us of Mrs. The Obama’s comments on the Bush administration’s $600 tax rebate;

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..

Barack’s approach is that the short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good. And it may even feel good that first month when you get that check. And then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings.

Of course, The Obama’s $676 will go WAY farther than the miserly $600 from Bush.

HopeNChange for all!
