Wait a Second...

I sucked it up and watched a pretty decent chunk of last night's State of the Union Address. For those of you who had better plans, you didn't miss much. The whole thing could have been titled "Let's Throw Stuff to the Wall and See What Sticks". About halfway through though, something dawned on me. Bush sounded like a democrat. With the "Let's cut gas consumption" and the "let's insure the uninsured babies and oldies"...that's when I got a little concerned. How was Bush going to make his tax cuts permanent AND insure the babies? So I did a little digging (so you don't have to).

I can't even begin to explain this plan but if you have insurance through your work, are chronically ill, or are too poor to care about saving on your taxes, this plan will probably hurt you, but if you pay for insurance for yourself, it might help.

For the record, I would like to commend President Bush (look quick, this may never happen again) for putting this issue on the table, but huge parts of this plan are super crappy. Good thing Congress isn't going to do anything he talked about in the way he proposed (I think I saw Hillary playing Gameboy under the table). Read the breakdown from CNN Money and let us know what you think!
