What does the average citizen get from the stimulus package directly?

Directly you get a tax cut - which amounts to about $400 less from your paycheck for individuals, $800 for couples. (Counted as direct because employers now have a smaller withholding percentage based on the exemptions you claim on your W-2. ).

Gher taxes and an incredible deficit: $800 billion. If we run a surplus of $2 billion a year, it'll take 400 years to pay it off. And think: most of us will barely live 5 billion seconds!

That means if I earn $1/second, I can pay off the deficit in 40 lifetimes.

We get about 13 dollars a week more in paycheck for part of this year, then $8.00 a week extra per week next year and then it goes away and higher taxes kick in. We have to pay eventually.

Assuming that you are an person, not on social security or having any other special rules applying, you would get $400 if you are single and $800 as a couple.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
