Why I'm not doing cartwheels over the tax rebate

Don’t get me wrong.

When my rebate check comes, I will happily accept.

However, there are a few reasons why I’m not overly thrilled, but I will focus on my main complaint.

I’m not happy about what was left OUT of the rebate plan:

Permanent tax cuts.

Republicans admitted their top priority was not included.

Want to truly stimulate the economy?

Then give people more of THEIR money to use the way they want to, permanently.

That’s a far better remedy than a one-time gimmick.

But Republicans caved and the taxpayers ultimately lose.
