Is it just me or does anyone else feel insulted by the upcoming Economic Stimulus Payment? Do our polititions think we're so naive that we'll believe a $600 payment, to buy Chinese garbage from Walmart, is a good way to stimulate the economy? Wouldn't it have been a better idea to reduce taxes and federal spending in the first place?
To a lesser degree, this applies to the ND Property Tax Relief Credit. They've already got the money, why not do something useful with it or reduce future taxes instead of just giving it away.
This may not be the right forum for this topic, but I just got my payment notice in the mail and had to vent.
