Is it wrong to not really trust anything this administration says? I don’t think so. They’ve basically just thrown this absurdly large number out there while saying, “We need this or else,” and they’ve got everyone going berserk. Call me paranoid but isn’t this just more of the same scare tactics they’ve been using time and time again for the past eight years?

also i can’t help but wonder if this is just one last cash grab by the bush administration, if down the line we’ll realize it was another example of rich people completely screwing non-rich people in order to stay on top.
