I came across
a news story from last September that makes a lot more sense today. President Obama then announced that, starting in 2010, tax refunds could be sent as government savings bonds, rather than as checks. Just mark a box on your return, and *voila!* -- you're helping fund the
Democrats' out-of-control deficit spending.
What's next: a telethon?
We need
Jim DeMint's balanced budget amendment now. Before it's too late.
Linked by: The Washington Examiner. Thanks!
So the federal gov't is borrowing an idea from that great progressive and innovative state of California.
ReplyDeleteWe can get state IOUs for our tax refunds - but it's not voluntary. Bet the federal "savings bonds" will not be voluntary before too long either.
Ouch.
