Ronald Reagan gave me $20 per paycheck in '84. I didn't buy in. What's your vote worth?

I'm blue collar and drive a Prius about 2000 miles per month---less than 50 gallons per month times $.20 (easy figure) is $10 per month $5 per paycheck.

But what if I drove about 4500 per month in a Tahoe. 15 MPG--300 gallons per month times $.20 that's $60 per month $30 per paycheck.
For three months WOW!!!!!

1. Somebody paying $1,000 a month for gas
is either drowning to the point $60 won't help - or has so much money $60 won't matter.

So why are we harming our highway program for this??

2. I thought I heard Obama say he'd like to just give everyone another rebate.

3. He's proposing a $1,000 tax cut
Regardless, he knows that if you want everybody to get money, you give it directly to the people and you give it to everybody. He knows that it's not just gas that has gone up, it's everything.
