The Grand Compromise?

Today we learned the tax-cuts bargained for by the three crossover GOP senators will total the grand amount of about $13 a week. With such massive tax cuts in play for our workers, one can surely see why the esteemed senators broke ranks with their fellow Republicans. I suppose we could each take one of the senators out to lunch once a week with the massive savings that is rushing our way. Senators Collins, Snowe, and Spector get the bipartisan hero of the week award for putting aside their principles and making sure serious tax relief gets to the American worker. I think the favor will be returned during the next Republican primary for each of the "terrific three". However, I urge the readers not to spend too freely as the massive $13 a week will be cut to $8 next year. One can certainly see why democrats detest tax cuts. When they think $13 a week is tax cut, I'd look for another way to stimulate the economy too. Perhaps send every American a $15 Starbucks gift card so we can all go buy fancy coffee. After all, gourmet coffee sales are a sign of economic prosperity.
