Would You Like a Little Bit of Good News?

President Barack Obama ordered the U.S. Treasury on Saturday to implement tax cuts for 95 percent of Americans, fulfilling a campaign pledge he hopes will help jolt the economy out of recession.

"I'm pleased to announce that this morning the Treasury Department began directing employers to reduce the amount of taxes withheld from paychecks, meaning that by April 1st, a typical family will begin taking home at least $65 more every month," Obama said in his weekly radio address.

"Never before in our history has a tax cut taken effect faster or gone to so many hard-working Americans," he said.

Why announce this on a Saturday? I suppose it will be the talk of the Sunday shows, but I’m used to big announcements coming during the week and unpopular ones coming on weekends.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
