As Bitt suggests, you better prepare to eat that hat. Uncle Sam has a stellar track record of fiscal solvency and restraint which is never compromised by political interests. If history for some reason doesn't repeat itself, this new bill will create a national surplus, raise the life expectancy to 1000 years, and slash the unemployment rate to 0% (as you know every bill that comes from this Congress is really about creating jobs; the other benefits are secondary).

You really should learn to take comfort in the fact that Big Brother has your back and wants and knows what's best for you far better than you yourself could ever know!
