Well, it just keeps getting better under this administration. I just read the article on the mistake that the IRS made on this so called stimulus package of President Obama’s (11/17, National/Local, “Millions will have to repay; About 15 million Americans will owe government $250 or $400 after mix-up”).
It looks like many of us get to pay the government back at tax return time. Like we don’t pay enough now. With everything that this administration has initiated, I feel like I’m stuck in a downward spiral with no bottom in sight. It’s Big Brother government, back again and bigger than ever before. I pay for your stuff, you pay for mine, and they pay for theirs.
It’s like a giant pea under the shell game for where your money is going. They pass legislation that Obama doesn’t want to read. They take a simple problem and make it into a major pain in the backside. They pass bills that are unfair, such as using the tobacco tax to pay for something that has absolutely nothing to do with tobacco.
Believe me, people, there is more to come.

It's an interesting standard Jay has now set for letters to the editor. If it's covered in the news then a letter about it is "neurotic."
Think about that; then look for the last time Jay made such a posting over an anti-Bush or anti-Republican letter on a topic that was "in the news."
Of course, we could pile on with all of the documented false jobs numbers, claiming stimulus money spent in congressional districts that don't exist, or the extra 2%+ unemployment that our leadership promised would not exist with the stimulus. But those were also in the news, so Jay would view utilizing those facts as "overwrought!"

But wait don't order yet Jon!
Obamanation Care is coming down the pike to the tune of $2.5 Trillion, but don't worry Jon Boy. See only "the rich" will have to pay for it; oh, and screw those old farts, I mean they don't need that $500 Billion in medicare cuts!
Happy Days are here again! The skies above are blue again! Ta Dah!

Jon is overwrought, and the Star decided to print another letter from a neurotic letter... The stimulus payment program was well covered in the news... folks who received too much should have known better... But that wasn't enough for Jon, poor guy... Uh, Jon, where should tobacco tax revenues have gone? Subsidies for tobacco growers?
