The Government is Giving us money! What will you do with it?

$600 to most working individuals, and 1,200 to most working married couples!

Here's the story http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22782454?GT1=10755

Apparently the dough wont be here untill spring or early summer, So we'll have a whlie to think about it...the wife will probably want to start a baby fund....but I'll try to get her to give me half for the beginning of my mustang fund!

Looks like there are caps on qualifying for the rebate. It sounds like those lucky folks who earn more than $87k as individuals or $174k as couples don't get a rebate.

It will probably go for food when I get laid off.
I can't believe those idiots in Washington think that printing more money we don't have is going to HELP the economy.

Billions for a war we can't win and 100's to the working class who didn't want us there to start with!

Amen brother. But fear not, your tax money is going to good use. It is going to be handed to a bunch of people who have paid in the total sum of ZERO. And you can bet your sweet bippy that rebate will be taxed next year too.

Never mind, why bother

Get real Cody! first of all the government is giving nothing, just returning a fraction of what they have taken/stole from you! I'm sure your smarter than your Alfred E Newman avatar....

Isn't a baby fund and a Mustang fund the same thing?

they are calling this a "refund"....but i think its just a printing press....which did not do too well for the Germans back in WWII.....I honestly think its a bad idea.....but whatever...I guess I dont have a choice since the dude I voted for Congress didnt get elected.

Above photo shows a young German girl using German currency as fuel in the family's furnace, such was the value of German money after the "bankers" had run the German economy into the ground and intentionally bankrupted the nation. Americans have had very little sympathy for the Germans historically, but this soon will change. How right you are Cody! I see you do know your history.

Yep! I use to think he just acted stupid ......but man its no act!...He comes from a long line of bad apples....His grand daddy Prescott had all his banking activities suspended during WWII when he was caught helping finance the **** war machine...The fruit never falls far from the tree .....
