Poll question: OK, lets hash this out. How would you spend a taxcut?
If you are in line to get a taxcut from this bill then make your answer applicable to that; if not, then imagine what you would do if you DID, hypothetically, get a tax cut of some modest amount.

3. Pretty easy - I was let go last year, so we are building up the ING account
and just buying what we absolutely need.

5. Buy healthier food and try to lose some weight ...
I'm tired of Top Ramen and pasta -- starch is cheap
and that's been my mainstay lately.

6. I would donate a small portion of it to all Progressive Democrats who run against
national Blue Dogs (Congress/Senate) in the 2006 Primaries.

IMNSHO, we need to weed out THE RIGHT WING-CORPORATE WHORES of our beloved party.

7. Since the rainy day would be GUARANTEED
by this hare brained GOP idea, socking it away is the only rational choice. In my case, I'd sock away the CASH in hundreds, either buried in a jar or put someplace that requires a ladder and flashlight to retrieve.

This is NUTS. This is proof the Republicans have absolutely no clue in hell how economies work.
