Stimulus payments starting early.

[Drunko McMoppo]

Note entirely true. Bush/congress/whoever *giving away* money that the government doesn't have to give will have to be repaid sooner or later. I'm guessing that *FREE* $600 will be repaid at about $1200 after interest and a further decline in the value of the dollar.

But ya, other than that, totally free.

Hey you want some money? China just gave me a couple billion! Don't worry about paying it back, we can just raise taxes when the time comes!

I still think this whole thing is a sham. Instead of giving me a $600 advance on next years taxes, how about government just keep the money and LOWER TAXES.

Oh wait, that can't happen because we have a money-pit of a war to fund.

Anyone else get frustrated with this BS?

How about being more frustrated with the money we spend on welfare, and taking care of people that don't want to take care of themselves? The war bill in a mere drop in the bucket compared to that bill. We spend 140 Billion / MONTH paying out shit for welfare, and people that should be doing shit, we only are spending 145 Billion / YEAR on the war. Although I think there is better places the war money could be spent it isn't shit compared to welfare.

Oh please, not gonna cry for you when you make to much to get one back.

I told my tax guy I was gonna spend mine on hookers and blow... I don't think he got the joke.

Can we break it down to at what rate each income bracket will be paying it back to which income bracket?

The Iraqis can take care of themselves, they're adults, we need that money to take care of our own people! Some people say the economy is so bad they've even considered getting a job!

Damn that Bush!

[Drunko McMoppo]

Like you were joking.

Yeah, truth is I went straight to the source and got my check directly from China. That money is spent.

[Southern]

Im not getting one and I dont want one. I think its dumb if you ask me. Like LTD said...its a band aid. Dumb.

Sure.




9% on the *welfare*, at least 31% (that *other* includes slush fund for the defense departments top secret programs) on the military.

Social security, and Medicaid aren't considered a welfare of some sort? I would think so.
