<<<I'm looking forward to getting my $600.00 check.>>> This is what Brooks, speaking from the right, says about your $600 check-goodie. <<The grubbiest part of the tax cut was foisted on Mr. Bush by the Democrats — the checks that will go out to taxpayers later in the year, at $300 for singles and $600 for married couples.
