Because that $150-A-Month Cut In Gasoline Expenses Did Such A Bang-Up Job Stimulating Things…

In yesterday’s weekly radio address, President Obama promised that, "By April 1st, a typical family will begin taking home at least $65 more every month."

In other news, it was reported that by April 1st, a typical family will also begin increasing its share of the national debt by at least $65 every month.

Which is kind of a freaky coincidence when you think about it.

How will $65 a month stimulate the economy?  Maybe you’ll finally go out and buy that car you’ve always dreamed of getting, provided the car you’ve always dreamed of getting is a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am. Or, speaking of cars, $65 a month is almost enough to get you a round of golf at the United Auto Worker’s private course. Or perhaps you’ll use it to go back to school part time and earn a degree. In about 40 years.

Well, at least you’ll have some extra money to pay higher gasoline and sin taxes!

Or are those the same thing these days…
