I know it's hard to make economic stories funny. But I'm never one to back away from a challenge, so here it goes.
Bush's Tax Cut Proposal Reduced By Congress
Now, I know for some of you this isn't exactly news that makes you want to run outside and frolick in the rays of the sun singing "So Happy Together" at the top of your lungs, but hear me out. Two days ago, Bush announced the war will cost about $70 billion dollars bare minimum, and yet he still wants to cut taxes by $700 million dollars. How does he expect to pay for this war? Moonbeams and wishful thinking?
Of course, Bush says he wants to the tax cut to help stimulate the economy, which is already lower than the distance between Emmanuel Lewis's knees and the ground. But when the economy is at it's lowest and the budget is still out of whack, where else can he get the money if he's really serious about going through with this war? Say your're eating dinner at a restaurant where the check is $700 billion dollars and your friend offers you money to pay for it, would you turn them down? Of course not, you'd take the money to pay for the meal and then spend the rest on Slim-Fast diet shakes and Gas-X because eating $700 billion dollars worth of steak and ice cream can really screw up your intestines. Just ask Louie Anderson.
Plus, I really don't trust Bush when it comes to promises about tax cuts because when he was first president, he promised everyone in America an extra $300 tax refund. Only his definition of everyone included EVERYONE who didn't make under $30,000 a year. He should've just announced before he made the deal official at the very last minute that he was lying all along and really just going to give a tax refund to this guy.
