[Uncle Miltie]

As proposed by yours truly Monday morning at 7:30 A.M. here on FR.

[screaminsunshine]

Good plan free money. Here it is come and get it.

[Lorianne]

Sounds reasonable.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Aye!

[Azzurri]

Democrats would never go along with anything that does not include a welfare payment to their non-taxpaying constituents.

[MediaMole]

Is this a refundable tax credit (read “free money”) or a real tax credit?

[BobL]

Good idea - it at least shows America what kind of money they are about to have spent for them.

[Danae]

Doesn’t sound like it’s gonna get heard.

[dead]

It's my money and they're giving it back to me!

(Well, not really, but I appreciate Thune's attempt to frame this in a way the dumbasses out there could possibly comprehend. Instead, they'll watch their money handed out to deadbeats and sponges.

[P.O.E.]

“If you want it any time I can give it
But you better hurry ‘cause it’s going fast.

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?”

[Publius]

Good for openers. But Richard McHugh’s money drop idea is better: Refund the past 10 years of income taxes to everybody.

[bigbob]

Remember this is the guy who also kicked Little Tommy’s ass out of the Senate! And he has stones.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Good idea, even if only for illustrative purposes only

He needs to go further, cut, slash corporate, capital gains, taxes and reduce or freeze the federal budget.

And also repeal the repatriation tax on monies outside the US

[Viking2002]

Sheeit, throw ten grand of my money back to me, I'll change the world. And have one helluva nice gun collection, too.

For security purposes.

[dragnet2]

and $10,286 for married couples who file jointly.

And by the time ya get it, it'll be worth $10.28

[rabscuttle385]

Great. This would only prolong the agony, as the funding for Thune's redistributionist rebate would come from either borrowing or money printing.

Too bad the idiots in Congress are so insulated from the average American family that they aren't seriously thinking about...cutting Government spending.

[TAdams8591]

WOW!!!!! Impressive. : )

[seoul62]

Shower more goodies, a spin on a chicken in every pot: Cadillac Hybrid Escalade and a free years worth of Seventh Generation Products for every American Family./Just Asking - seoul62.......

[familyop]

That would certainly continue some middle class support for the kinds of political parties and government we have. It would also give us a little more time before the big fall, but the fall would be even further. Whatever...

[familyop]

Here's another one that should be close to the hearts of middle class folks with incomes under $250,000 per year.

US Economic Stimulus Bill Nears Final Vote (It's still $900 billion! GOP time to filibuster)
voa ^ | 2/5/2009 | voa

Excerpt:
"The final vote is looming after senators unanimously approved an amendment Wednesday to provide a $15,000 tax credit for homebuyers.

The provision, sponsored by Republican Senator Johnny Isakson, would add $19 billion to Mr. Obama's $900 billion plan."

[swatbuznik]

It’s so twisted. I mean... what else is there to say. I know it’s my money, but it shouldn’t have left my hands in the first place.
