Economic Stimulus: The idiocy of government handouts

Blogger's Note: Economic Stimulus — last week, the White House turned Obama. Only instead of promising $250 bucks in pocket money, as Obama envisions will kick-start spending and economic expansion, the Bush Administration's proposed "tax rebate" is a little bit bigger.
