Some folks say it will be.
Our president proceeded over one of the best press conferences evar. So much majesty. I'm so glad we got 4 years of that good good.
Today on C-Span, House and Senate Republicans swapped spit over the package. GOP warns of the consequences of massive deficit spending. Hey, I couldn't agree more. Where were ya'll for the past 8? Everyone's complaining about pork. But isn't all government spending pork in someone's eyes?
Eveyone wants to know what's in if for me? $789 billion is a lot of cheese. Well, according to CNNMoney, here's what we get:
For work: a $500 credit per worker and a $1,000 credit per dual-earner couple.
And for seniors/veterans who don't work: a one-time $300 payment.
Rich folks get a break too: a one-year provision break on the Alternative Minimum Tax. A nice little boost for middle and upper income households.
Get paid to buy a car: those who buy a car in 2009 deduct the sales tax and interest on the loan.
Please buy a home!: get a temporary home buyer credit. Goes to all home owners, and you might not even have to pay it back.
New college credit: a $2,500 credit for higher education expenses.
Your kids saving you money?: lower income requirement for the child tax credit. Got a big family? You might get a bigger credit for families with 3+ children.
