Tax relief. Uh huh.

I caught the Marketplace reporter on NPR this afternoon referring to Bush’s “tax relief” plan to jumpstart the economy. It’s only relief if it was wrong in the first place. Paying for what we buy used to be the American Way. What Bush has proposed for his “tax relief” plan is to borrow an additional $145,000,000,000 from China to spread around to the rich and corporations and hope they spend it and something happens.

Borrowing from the Chinese, Japanese and various Middle East governments isn’t “tax relief”. It’s absurd and wrong and will continue to cripple Americans finally taxed to pay for this nonsense.
