Sounds like the new world of unemployment.

OK, tax rebates made in installments.

Of course for those who do not pay taxes, free money from the government.

I don't look at it so much as a "tab" as I do a count down, kinda like for a rocket launch, only, the rocket explodes sending joyful left wing and Islamic celebrations around the world. 😵

As government taxes do away with more and more jobs, the government becomes that more important. We must make government bigger to take care of me in this new normal.
