I'm disabled, if I thoght this scheme would work I'd be yelling for mine too |

The thing is this isn't going to work. The little scrap they're planning on throwing out is going to last as long as an ice cube on the sidewalk in August. Ultimately it's going to flow into the pockets of the haves and have mores, it's one more bail out of the very people who don't need bailed out. The best thing to do in my opinion is too tighten our belts, take our lumps and tell congress and * to keep their goddamn blood money.

1. You talking about these tax rebates? |
|
First - I ain't gonna bitch about getting some money cause I still have bills to payoff from the move.
But that's it - I'm not buying a TV or some gizmo, I'm paying bills. Which means very little of my money (if any) will be used to stimulate the economy

But your statement is just what everyone else is going to do and every dime is going to flow upwards and we'll be all the poorer in the future for taking temporary happiness now.

6. yes this money if it comes will be treated as if we borrowed it and are paying interest on it |

I remember the last give away, best I remember when it was all said and done there were a lot of republican poor voters pissed too. One of my re:puke: friends summed it up pretty good when he said 'I didn't know this was only a loan' ha ha

It is really unfortunate that the worst president in the history of the United States has driven the economy to the bottom. Worse, the regime's policies hit the poor the most.
And this lame effort to "stimulate" the economy is nothing more than a ruse to soothe the masses.
I hate Bush.

7. While nobody will be sending back the check... |

I don't think too many people are foolish enough to think this will help, either.
