-Caveat Lector- I had a laugh today when I picked up the Sunday magazine section of the American Pravda, USA Today. The cover shows comic characters Dagwood Bumstead clapping and his wife, Blondie throwing confetti towards the mailman who walks down a red carpet and carries an envelope labeled "Tax Rebate". In the foreground is a marching band blaring away. The caption: The Check's in the Mail. What will _you_ do with the cash? The article, written by Joe Queenan, is titled "The Great American Tax Windfall". The second sentence starts out, "This federal program presents Americans with a historic opportunity to drag the nation out of a recession whose existence many economists continue to deny..." The writer mentions "pumping that $1.2 trillion refund right back into the economy." Is that figure correct? I doubt it very much. I guess I should consider the source. I see commercials from various stores mentioning the rebate, radio ads and articles such as the one mentioned above. The Establishment is really pushing the rebate idea, isn't it? Well, my $300 is going to the county for a part of my property taxes. I guess my bit won't help the economy, eh? Hope someone covers for me! ;) -- ´´ Mark McHugh <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
