I got $257b for federal and $147b for state/local at the end of 2002, but both those numbers are larger now.

Yup, the estimates for 2003 have been all over the place, but I haven't seen anything up to date. I think the effect of this tax cut was something like 60 billion $ in 03 and 120 billion $ in 04, but heaven knows whether this is still remotely accurate.

MRT: You got the rebate check whether you made the money or not. You only had to file a return the year before.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I thought that this was the case. What if they file now? Could they still get a check??

Not sure. Don't think so. They were probably on somebody else's return as a dependent.

Re: US $350 Billion tax cut is likely $800 Billion

in the US, the education system will suffer much less, because it's a State, not a federal affair.
Do states have seperate state taxes? I thought the education system, though administered by the states was paid for by the federal government? I read an article the other day saying that public education in America was so bad it was no longer an option for those who can possibly afford anything better, and that Medicaid/care was no longer providing for anyone but the absolute poorest, so that many do not have enough money for health insurance, but are not covered by medicaid/care. And we though the NHS was bad
How bad is it, both healthcare and public education in America?

For public ed., at least, the bulk of the money comes from local property taxes in that district, so the more affluent dictricts spend more per student, and, usually, get better quality education.
I say "usually" because Detroit is about the midrange for per-pupil spending, and the quality of the schools and the education is abysmal. A lot of corruption and nepotism don't help the cause, either.

The big problem with the educational systems in places like Detroit and Oakland is nobody wants to be bothered to run for the school board so they end up getting these extreme left or right wing types who want to push these extremist agendas.
Apathy will sink a ship no matter how much money you dump into it.

That's a wild exaggeration for most places.
and that Medicaid/care was no longer providing for anyone but the absolute poorest
What do you consider "absolute poorest"?
Anyway, the quality of care is generally quite high. But it's expensive.
