Oh yeah, that will work. Of course, the onus is on the individual to prove they are poor enough to receive an exemption.

What are these moronic public administrators thinking? Many of the folks who need health care coverage the most will never even see any info on this "individual mandate," and even if they did, do administrators honestly think that they'll give two squirts about filing for an exemption?

Sigh.

President Bush and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced aneconomic stimulus package that promises to put at a $600 tax rebate check in the hands of an estimated 16 million families. Total coast of the package is $150 billion (approximately $100 billion in rebates for families and $50 billion in tax cuts for businesses). I mean, why not? It’s our money, right?

Well, no. Our money’s already been spent. Remember that pesky 9 trillion dollar deficit?

I’m trying to follow diligently this talk of a tax rebate. I’m still not sure how much money we’re talking. Will we get $300? Will we get $800? I’m hoping for $800, only because I’d like to put it towards my medical debt, which will stimulate the economy by… um… okay, I’ll put some towards my medical debt and blow some at Amazon.

Or on yarn, for the TCP afghan*.

But, if it’s $300, I’ll buy groceries and gas
