Looks like we'll be getting $600 come June ($1200 if you're married.)




So what will you buy to aid our economy? Remember, don't put it on a Savings account. You're supposed to spend it!









Me: I'll buy a super comfortable chair where I have my home computer, kitchen utensils, a homedic Quad-Roller massaging cushion with heat, and clothes.
Lots of pretty clothes.

I will save it. However, that super comfortable chair in front of my puter sounds pretty good too (but it might make me fall asleep).

For a few folks, though, don't start spending it quite yet. I read yesterday that single folks making over $75K a year, and couples making over $150K a
year, will NOT get this rebate.




For those who do get it, I also read that there's the possibility that you'll get an additional $300 per child.






My big question is... for our lawmakers who are going along with this, I'd like to ask them where in the HELL the money for it is coming from. Oh,
that's right - just add it to the already RECORD debt. *shakes head*

No Kidding...I'm almost embarrassed about this "check" ...none of us are stupid, we know the war in Afghanistan and Iraq continue to cost us Millions, and now you are giving us "extra money" ???? It doesn't make sense.
It's like if I told my family that, we have really high credit card bills, but let's spend our tax refund check on junk.
