Sorry, but it's YOUR method that is flawed [what a shock] since the non-family households cannot be counted. It is a FAMILY Consumption Allowance for families in a single household. So you don't get to throw in your extra numbers to gratuitously inflate the prebate amount by hundreds of millions.
The estimate I gave of about $369 billion is a reasonable number while the $457 and up numbers that you and your sidekick come up with are meaningless.
And the prebate is no entitlement as there is no funding authorization for it in the FairTax law or by means of any separate appropriations bill which there would have to be were it an entitlement. All present entitlements (as you should know) have separate appropriations bills that pop up all the time being raised each time and dipping into money from the income tax.
The prebate is merely a refund of taxes you would have paid were it not issued in advance and it is the corollary of the April 15 tax refund - a return of tax money paid (or in the case of the FairTax to be paid since it is issued in advance). If your April 15 refund were issued in advance there would be no significant difference between the two.

You are the biggest fool!!! LOL! You'll say anything if you think it benefits your love, the FairTax. Pathetic and hilarious at the same time!
Family. A family is a group of two or more persons residing together who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption. The count of families is for "primary" families only, that is, the householder and all other persons related to and residing with the householder. Families are classified either as married-couple families or as families maintained by women or men without spouses.So, according to the Great and Powerful Pigdog, if a person doesn't live with someone who is "related by birth, marriage, or adoption" they don't get the Family Consumption Allowance.
