Get out your calculators, y'all -- it's raining money !

Congress just signed on to the daft plan to cut a big fat check to everyone in the nation with earned income (sorry, Tad -- :( .) Looks like we'll all be getting ours in May. We're talking $600 per person, and $300 for each tyke. Cold hard cash. Plus extra if you're super-poor.
