For everyone disappointed by the news that there will not be a second stimulus check coming this month, it’s probably tempting to take heart in Obama’s promised tax cut ($500 for individuals, $1000 for couples).

Except that a tax cut won’t make much of an impact on the nation’s economy, much less an individual’s wallet.

Over the year, this translates to an addition $44 each month, per person, or about $22 in the average paycheck.

Twenty-two dollars per month. Do you feel economically recovered now?
