Actually the joke is on all of us. This is no "stimulus". Were gonna have to pay the money back come next tax season, just like last time bush gave us a "stimulus".

Just look at it as a cash advance from next tax season.

I will be using the money for bills but I would much rather the government keep it. I can still pay my bills without it. I won't be going out and buying things I don't need or spending more at the mall or wal mart. I would also rather have the $600 next year, or if I happen to owe money to not have to owe an extra $600.

It's a sham, and I'm surprised so many people buy into it. What most also fail to relies is that this will cost the government (our tax dollars) $42 million to mail out all those tax rebate checks. It's a damn joke, just like bush.

100% of welfare recipients dont need it. If they can walk to the mail box to pick up a check then take it to the bank and cash it or the liquer store or wherever, then they can walk there lazy asses to a job and hand out fries for 8 hours.

There are plenty of people who work who still get welfare because their wages still do not get them out of poverty. There are also many who are truly disabled and unable to work who, on top of SSI disability, get "welfare".

And yes, there are plenty of people too who simply milk the system for all its worth and then some.

Agreed. However, being below poverty level doesnt mean they need welfare. If they are getting welfare and have jobs and or disability then they don't need it IMO. It is hard to live on minimum wage and survive but it is possible. That doesn't mean you or I should be supplimenting their income because they are too lazy to get an education or get vocational training of some sort to better their situation. They are a burdon on our system, among other things.

Nice try but you are dead wrong. This is NOT an advance on next years tax refund. There is a lot of misinformation out there about this and even some tax preparers are confused on this matter.

The government has sent everyone who qualifies what amounts to basically free money. Since there is no such thing as free money, how are they doing it? By borrowing from the treasury which creates further national debt and further devalues the dollar.

So, be mad at Bush if you want but be mad for the correct reason.

BTW, my $1200 will be direct deposited therefore there will not be any mailing costs associated with my stimulus payment.

You are so full of it in so many ways. What experience have you got, in terms of handicapped or disabled people...especially when it comes down to the education they receive from the educational system as it stands, and what it takes to support them?? :roll: :roll: :roll:


I have a nephew whom is disabled. I can describe in great detail, his medical condition, his education and what it took to get him from the finger painting class the school system where he grew up, had relagated him to, into the general school population, and what it took to get the school to provide the education that federal law acertains for him and those like him, to receive. It took lawyers, doctors, judges, and legislators to all be involved.

When you start putting out information...make sure you won't offend someone with your ignorance.

Rant is over.

As for the "Stimulus" package our lame president and his handlers have thrown out there...the distraction it provides, will work on some....but not all. Some peoples great-grand kids are gonna pay through the nose......40 years from now.

Scoe I sure hope you are right. I was told the same thing the last tax rebate and ended up having to pay it back. But regardless, I think I would still rather have it next year.

That $42 mil. is on top of all the direct deposits.

I don't like bush for a lot of reasons, not just this. Never did like him from the day he took office.

I don't need to be disabled or have a disabled nephew to give my opinion.
