supported the stimulus bill to thank them for putting country before party.

6. Excellent, excellent idea. You know they are probably receiving alot of crap from their party and |
|
could use a little positive reinforcement.
I will do the same.

didn't it take nearly 48% of the stimulus to be tax cuts just to get those three on board to vote for it?

11. No. According to CNN, |
|
38% of the finalized bill is tax cuts--2% BELOW President Obama's initial proposal that 40% be tax cuts.

12. And that's due to the less of a tax break for muddle class. only |
|
$400.00/ $800.00 per couple rather than the $500.00/ $1000.00 couple tax break.. Now, is that a direct check coming back?
