As if Tax Time Didn't Have You Depressed Enough...

Amount the Bush tax cuts saved President Bush and Vice President Cheney (and their respective spouses) on this year's tax bill: $42,000

Median household income for 2002, the most recent year for which figures are posted at www.whitehouse.gov: $42,409.

For the statistical-analysis-impaired: Bush's tax cuts saved him and his Veep just about as much as half the households in the country make in a year. For the record, the Bushes saved $31,000 and Cheneys saved $11,000.
