Why not skip a step, give it straight to the retailers   Passing it through  the consumer can only be percieved as a combination of pre-election populism and an inflator of those particular numbers that trickle-down economists use as guages.  The same numbers that they've used since the 80s to tell us things are fine whenever they aren't.

And plus... for those of you whose conventional wisdom is that taxes are too high and lowering this burden is indiscriminantly a positive step, this is fine. Might as well make it more.   You are the ones this little scheme is directed towards, your only job as a good American is to keep track of who gets credit . 

And if I get a few bucks out of you all getting yet another government handjob, so be it!  

What's a few billion against the existing national debt...
