And the economy started heading south last year, so don't point your finger at Bush. He had nothing to do with it. If it's still this bad next year, point away. Doug, I hope this is not a prophetic statment.

My HUGE refund wouldn't make a spit of difference in my budget so it's going to my legally-blind, mentally-conflicted sister. Call it welfare, if you wish. But it will make a difference in her life.

How anyone (Are you listening, Doug?) can welcome a tax rebate while knowing at the same time how much our national debt is costing us and our children beats me.
