He was speaking about it around noon time today. I dunno if it was for everyone or if your a parent with like 8 kids. But the way he worded it made it sound like everyone gets that amount.

what, $1,087 for/added to your tax refund? or is this just one of those "we'll send ya a check" dealies?

One of those "we'll send you a check" dealies which you promise to go out & spend it.

uh oh... bush thinking up a storm with that one cuz the last one worked SOOOOO well.... :rolleyes:
the sad thing is it costs millions and millions and millions of dollars just to mail those checks out... lol...
like the last one, it wouldn't stimulate much. however, it would stimulate my cougar getting more mods but that's about the only good i see of this :shrug:

That's the idea. Go out & spend it to help the economy & other companies.
If it's really that much maybe I'll get the 3.0 I've always wanted.

Yeah heres the check though he'll give you the money this year and next year you'll get taxed at a huge percentage on that amount.

or realize that it did nothing and that they have a huge budget problem because of it and then in turn reduce spending for needed things...

Nah, what'll happen is that when we get older (those of us in our 20's) we just won't have any Social Security.

Very true. Figure with a war coming shortly and giving people money to spend..... It has to come from somewhere.... Looks like we are all working till we're in the grave....
