Judy, I "think" this is more to make the republicans look better than any other reason. Once the elections are over, I'm guessing there will be a democrat in the white house, and if the economy is looking down, they will be shoving it in the faces of the republicans for the whole term. So by giving this little illusion of prosperity before they switch over, it will simply look better on the books. And then next year when everyone gets less of a refund it will be noted that there were democrats in power when it happened.
It's all political game playing.
