One detail from stimulus!

From the Wall Street Journal "The package would broaden the reach of the child tax credit, lowering the minimum income required for workers to qualify for the credit to $3,000. Under current law, the minimum income was $8,500 for 2008 and is set to rise to about $12,000 for 2009, congressional aides said."

What this means is, in order to recieve the $1,000/child tax credit the earnings went from $12,000 down to $3,000! Sounds like even more dependance on the government!

I know David, this whole spendulus thing is making me crazy. I have sent letters to my reps and senators but feel so helpless when it comes to being heard.

Thomas Jefferson said, A bigger government might give you more, but it can also take more away." The stimulous package is a joke and a waste of money or great grandchildren will be paying for. God bless America!
