This is a show, after all, whose appeal rests on an exuberant celebration of paint volcanoes, Twinkie force-feeding, amplified Cap'N Crunch--chomping and Jell-O-encased heads.

There's much to be said for putting spending power in the hands of hundreds of millions of Americans rather than in those of a few bureaucrats, but there is a catch. People tend to save part of their tax rebates. In 2001 about...
