Dems Try to Sweeten Bush Tax Cut Extension with Peanuts

I think in the mind of a Dem these "tax cuts" are actually a big deal or something. This is the second time they used this anemic number and said that it will somehow accelerate the economy.

Democrats sought to expand the package with other provisions that officials said would accelerate the nation's sluggish economic recovery. They included a tax break providing as much as $400 for individual working people and $800 for couples — even if they pay nothing to the IRS.

I'm sorry but $33 extra a month was peanuts when they added it into the Failed Stimulus and it will be peanuts now. However, if it was like $100 or even $400 a month then Americans would be taking notice. That would actually do some good even if Americans merely banked the money for a rainy day. Instead this $400 per year of "tax cuts" is yet another way for the Dems to pretend they are tax cutters instead of tax wasters.
