So the new issue of Newsweek is here, just in time for tax franticity week.
What do you suppose the cover story is? 308,000 new jobs in March? U.S. manufacturing at a 20-year high? The lowest poverty rate in decades? A special-report thick-spine edition full of inspiring anecdotal stories from all over America that illustrate what people are doing with their tax refunds, written with the sincere hope of inspiring readers to treat the economy with some optimism and start investing in earnest again?
Hah! Don't make me laugh:
THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET OF THE TAX CUT
Why It's Smaller Than You Think
I knew there was a touch of gray in that there silver lining-- and I knew Newsweek would be able to find it for me.
Next time something like this happens, Newsweek becomes classified as mailbox spam, and treated accordingly.
