my GST Credit Letter and Income Tax Assessment arrived at my
house yesterday, at the same time, only to tell me that :
its ...one $ in..
and then..
one more $ out 
back to square one 
Well, it's just $200 for me.....
Not that I'm complaining about the extra dosh, of course... I
sure could use the extra money....
It's just that I can't believe how many people got duped into
thinking that GST 'offsets' are greater than the rise in GST......
when we first got the offsets a few years back, I couldn't help but
be totally irked at how my mom and aunts were raving over their
'windfall'....
Problem is, many people see the sudden infusion of cash in the
GST offset credits instead of the slow haemorrhage that the GST
rise causes....
