No! You have it all wrong. GW is giving us some more money (those of us with kids) as a retro active tax credit for 2002 taxes and will be paid, coincidentally, during the 3rd qtr of this year. This money, similar to that which you received after he took office, is meant to buy your vote. You are to be further incented (depending on your income bracket) by the tax break you will get in 2004.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Dickie and his flying monkeys cut swinging deals with Halliburton, Bechtel and the rest of their corporate bufu buddies.
Fear not, the bloated deficit, swelling trade imbalances, weak dollar, functionally bankrupt entitlement programs (medicare, medicaid) and gloomy outlook for social security will all be made right when you take that new found wealth and buy a durable good or two. Don't you dare use that money to pay down on debt (which statistically the majority of us are carrying an unprecedented amount of these days)! That would ruin the whole damn plan and put you in league with Osama, Saddam, the french, and those sneaky little kids who pretend to rely on Aid to Dependent Children.
Before the flames toast my posting, let it be said I am neither liberal or conservative - I'm just worried about my kids future.
