Another look at the tax refund

Kelly over at Tax Girl offers up an interesting stat—it’s costing at least $200 million to publicize and send that exciting, overwhelming, unbelievable, solution-to-the-recession “economic stimulus” check y’all are waiting for with baited breath.
As Kelly points out, “Putting it into perspective, that $200 million would have bought 74 Super Bowl commercials – more commercials than were aired during this year’s widely watched game. Now that would have been publicity.”
So, being the helpful, really nice person that she is, Kelly is putting together a “Tax Rebate Super Bowl Commercial” contest. Watch for it!
That’s good, because the IRS really needs some creative help. I say that based on the writing in the letter and the video now showing on YouTube (link on Kelly’s site), although they’re excellent if you’re suffering from insomnia and need a soporific.
How could that $200 million be better used?
