Does it make sense that some one who earns $250,000 and gets free housing receives a $250 stimulus check?

Yes, that does make sense.

Fox News organized teabagging protests because Joe Biden got a check for $250?

The tea parties wre organized because there is sufficant interest in the spending that is going on how. Its like any interest it needs oragniztion but most the peole that are motivated . I thin there seems to be enough interest that it will grow like so many.

Personally, if we're nickel-and-diming politicians' salaries, I'd take more offense at the $250,000 than at the $250. But that thought apparently escapes the narrow little minds of the teabaggers, presumably because it was enacted before 1/20/09.

They seem to applaude when politicians and "fat cats" manage to swindle the country out of millions of Dollars.

? You're misinformed. "Biden's annual Senate salary was $169,300 last year. He will earn $227,300 in 2009 as vice president."

Agreed. That is what completely discredits the 'Tea Parties'.

Where were you when the BUSH tax cuts were passed???

Those making over $250,000 received far far far more tax reductions than anything Obama has ever done or propose....

Just another clear example of a monumental double-standard by the right...
