I know, I know. You can't help it.

It helped to stimulate the economy last time it was done in 2001. But hey, I'm ALL for making the Bush tax cuts permanent....which would also help. While they are at it, they should reverse the Bill Clinton tax on Social Secuity recipients. I'm working on my taxes, and it's pretty pathetic that 85% of my SS benefits are being taxed!! Thanks to Bill Clinton.
