$100 tax breaks versus the $28,000 we all owe the government.

It's a good water cooler talking point, don't you think?

Can the Democrats exploit the hell out of this?

1. Sounds like an easy choice eh?

The problem is that people figure that they can get the $100 bucks now and directly. The $28,000 they can't really imagine paying back, it isn't like they are going to get a bill in their mailbox tomorrow. Urggh, republicans, republicans...

3. Why pay it off???

That's what grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren are for.

2. Maybe like the tax rebate a few years ago

that turned out to be a PREPAYMENT on the refund you would be due at the next tax time. And if you weren't due a refund, you got to pay it back.

4. Sounds more like a bribe

Want to bet they get the checks out like say... the end of October.

5. It IS a bribe. That's all the Mepublicans do anymore.
