How Will America Spend Their $600

[Parche]

Here are some responses from ordinary people on how they will spend their "extra" income tax check (aka: money Bush is gonna send us to try to make us forget what a dumb f*ck he is)

Pamela Grigsby of Nashville, Tennessee
I am going to save my refund and use it to purchase gasoline since that is the equivalent to what I have spent for gasoline since Bush has been in office.

Jayne Gilbertson of Moorhead, Minnesota
My plan for my family of five is to renew our passports so we can spend government money in a foreign country of our choosing. Iraq has already gotten way more than their share, so we'll pass up that country.

and my personal favorite:

Gloria Estevez of Pembroke Pines, Florida
I'm due to get $1,800 since I'm married and have two kids. Bush wants me to spend it to get us out of this mess his administration got us into. Well, $1795 will go towards funding my IRA account. Now the other $5, I wil

1. Great post....I haven't been following the news, but when exactly is this

supposed to happen?

2. About two months...

And part of me says he needed something to talk about during his state of the union address tonight. So this was a last minute "look, I'm doing something, lame duck this."

3. Ahhh....I see. Thanks

:think:

4. Shiny Chinese crap...

It will basically help stimulate the Chinese economy. I'm guessing the $800 number came from the price of an off-brand big-screen TV...

5. I am using to pay off debt.

I "stimulated" the economy with a credit card. I will use the funds to reduce the balance.

6. That's what I'll be doing with it, but sadly I doubt it will even make a noticeable dent

:shrug:

19. Every penny paid off makes a dent.

Hang in there, you can pay it off. Think of what it would feel like to have no bills.

7. That was my plan

But my brother in California wants me to visit him. That'll use up most of it if I go.

15. It is important to stay close to family.

It is only 500 bucks. Have fun in California!

8. the last time that * did this I gave the full amount to the OK Dem party.

Will consider that again, or a charity.

9. I'm taking it to Vegas and throwing it all on the 2nd 12.

10. They will buy Chinese products and

Middle East oil. We may get the checks in May, my bet is the gas will be $3.50 plus by then.

11. Doesn't matter. One way or another it all goes to some giant corporations

When you take it down to that basic reality, you see it is one WHOMPING BIG corporate welfare payment.

12. Don't have a clue.

Does anyone know if we have to pay taxes on it? So would it end up being only like $400 in that case? :shrug:

13. My daughter says, just give it to

the teenagers--they'll spend it, and they'll spend it fast.

14. a new tv since their set was broken tonight by a heavy snow boot

[matcom]

16. I'm buying an 8-ball and sharing it with TM

[Tektonik]

17. share? you're not a very nice sugar daddy

just give it to her :eyes:

18. pappa needs his blow

:rofl:

[sasquatch]

21. LOL!!

The highlight of my day.
:rofl:

20. It'll probably cost me at least $3,600

becasue after blowing the wad gambling it on some sporting event, I'll chase it with a $1,200 bet, followed by a $2,400 one after that one inevitably loses, and so on...
