Let's be honest, why in the heck did they even put the tax cut for us in there, they can't really think that 1.86 a day is going to help do they? It's just going to be more the taxpayers will have to pay back at a later date..

Once again, BO understands nothing. You need to give people one big check in order to stimulate the economy. If you dribble it to them, they won't even notice that it's there.

You're kidding, right? Is this a ridiculous amount or what? Why not just give $678.90 to everyone right off the bat? That way everyone could spend what they get, putting the money into main street to help the economy. Who would put $13.00 a week or $1.86 a day anywhere? It will just be absorbed somewhere, but not on main street. This is just another very stupid, not well thought out "scheme" that this administration is "pulling off". Enough already!

It will cost people making over $70,000 single/$140,000 couple money .This will offset the $13 a day to the "poor".So it will do nothing to stimulate the economy.Time will show that this bill was a huge pork barrel project that will extend this recession for years.

Well, for some of my neighbors that's almost equal to 2 one dollar scratch off tickets for the Texas lottery!
They've told me, that's how I know, and these people don't even pay taxes.

Keep in mind the 13 bucks only pan out at the top of the income bracket, for most who earn 30k or less its more like $8.00. so the answer is no, that's one days lunch or maybe 3 gallons of gas.
