I'm paying now. The only question is: how much? I don't expect a tax refund because of this, but maybe it will go toward the deficit. As we all know from our personal budgets, it's usually the many small items that add up to big numbers. Anyway, whatever it costs AccuWeather to provide the service, you can bet it cost the Feds several times that. Also, no one has defined what services are going to be lost that relate to kayaking - if any. The bill only proposes not duplicating services which are provided in the private sector. Americans have a bad habit of complaining about their taxes, complaining about the deficit, and complaining about any reduction of government supplied services - sometimes all in the same paragraph.

Just a thought.
