This confuses me: Thanks to the tax cut extension passed last year, struggling Americans will get to keep a few thousand dollars that otherwise would have gone to the government. A family making between $50,000 and $75,000, for instance, saves just over $2,000 on average, according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. From a broad economic perspective, that's money Americans can spend on themselves, theoretically boosting demand, stimulating business activity and generally helping promote a recovery.
I read: The government needs the money more. So they won't have to make cuts to the budget. But, what did happen makes more sense. Am I close?
