First let me start by saying that I will be glad to get a $1200 check in the mail.  But does anyone see the irony of the government giving us money to help us out?  Everyone is excited and is acting like the government is doing us some big favor.  They are giving you back a little bit of the lot of money that you gave them.  HELLO?!  Where do you think all that money came from?  It is like welfare, food stamps or government subsidized housing.  The government doesn’t have some magic ATM they get money from; they get the money from us.  Then they give it to us when we have a hard time and act like they are being charitable.  Ok picture this, you are having a hard time, money is tight and the bills are big.  I tell you you have to give me a thousand dollars, if you don’t I will start to sell off what you have till I get my thousand.  Mind you in these hard times, you have had to cut back, but I am still spending more than ever…new house, new clothes, new secretary.  Then once I get the thousand, I turn around and give you a twenty because you are having a hard time, and tell you that I know you are going through a hard time and I want to help out.  You would probably tell me to take my twenty and shove it up my…

Point being, the government is giving us our money back and we are acting like they are doing us this great favor.  I’ll be grateful when they start cutting back as much as the rest of America.  They haven’t down-sized those suburbans that they (and their security people) drive in.  They don’t car pool or cut back.  They haven’t taken pay cuts or gotten rid of the unnecessary employees they have.  What do they care?  Gas may be heading for $4 a gallon, but they aren’t paying for it.  And everyone wonders why the government hasn’t done anything about gas prices.

Hey, there are plenty of oil wells in the President’s home state, I wonder if that is just a coincidence
