Obviously, I have no idea! I've never set foot inside of one, but even with all of the above, it still seems rather expensive.

See, that is just ridiculous! Prison is supposed to be a punishment, not a holiday camp!

We are not talking about a one off large payment. We are talking about a tax-cut, so much smaller, but available each and every week. So, thinking about this, there would be more spent on eating out, movies, retail, both online & in stores, kids sports activities, etc. I don't think it...
