Harry Reid's Figures

Are you ready to add $3,333.33 for yourself and every member of your family to your present tax bill? Harry Reid has stated that the cost of the Stimulus package would end up being around $1,000,000,000,000. That is $3,333.33 per man, woman, and child, whether employed or not. Then, it increases as we have to pay interest and/or inflation decreases the value of our dollar.

Once some of these spending programs are in place, unfortunately, many of them will become regular budget items. Have you ever known of a government program that withered away of its own free will? Government functionaries always find many reasons why the funding should continue, often with increased budgets.
