...therapy, which yielded little. They went to Morelia - the hometown of Margarito's wife - and found that the public schools would offer him only one hour of special education every three days, compared with 24 hours each week in St. Helens.

The February stimulus bill contains something along these lines, the Making Work Pay tax credit, which will mail out a refundable tax credit of up to $400 in both 2009 and 2010. But an actual hiatus on payroll taxes would mean bigger paychecks in the much shorter...
