Your sarcasm is duly noted.

He won't veto it for the same reason the Senate "fixed" the tax bill...so as not to offend anyone.

I pay taxes, they don't. They'll get a check, I won't.

I guess the fact that I'M OFFENDED doesn't matter much to anyone.

What offends me even further is I have three kids, the youngest 17, the older two in college. What?! They're not costing me anything, you say?

I don't get the reason why one cannot claim a 17 year old. My kids are 5 & 3 so it doesn't effect me, but I feel it is unfair.

Same situation here. A 23 year old and 20 year old in college. 15 year old in high school. The 20 year old will have military benefits when he returns from Kuwait in a few weeks. The 23 year old just lost medical coverage on my "family" coverage. No decrease in premiums though. He's had 4 open heart surgeries. He's on coumadin to keep his blood thin for the 2 artificial heart valves. Pricey stuff. The blood tests every 6 weeks are $40 a pop. The feds only confiscated $28,000 from me last year.
