Your Tax Dollars At Work!

One point seven Billion dollars a year! (Billion, with a "B")

Read the story in McPaper this AM, of folks scrambling to take advantage of tax breaks for "renewable" energy before they expire. Found this gem buried in the story:

Extension of the tax credits has wide support in Congress, but the issue has bogged down in partisan battles. Senate Democrats insist the subsidies --costing the Treasury at least $1.7 Billion dollars a year -- be offset with new revenues. (Read: taxes)

At least!! After a while, that could add up to real money!
