Don’t worry. It’s only 40% now, but when the election gets closer, the money from this Congressional slush fund will start hitting the streets where you live. If you’re careful, it might last you through Christmas. Be very careful because, like the cash for junkers money, you may end up having to pay taxes on this taxpayer money that belonged to your children before they took it from you and gave it back.
