Bush wants to give a tax rebate to people to keep the economy from tanking any farther. Newest estimates are $800 per person who makes less then 85k and 1600 for married people who make less then 110k.

P/T won't get $800 back, and for that matter, I think lots of people won't, they do it as a %age of what you paid out in taxes

if you believe that this is going to happen then you are foolish. This is a sad attempt to put Republicans back in good standings with the people, showing that they are also here for the little guy. its a show piece. its not going to happen. either it wont pass or if it does once they get it then they will start saying that since the money is available there are a lot of other things it could go to that would help the economy out much more then giving it back to the people that gave it up in the first place. lit will go something like this:
Due to the war effort, there has been a drop in Tank orders which has made the manufactures drop in production, and due to this drop we are also seeing a drop in production in gun powder for bullets thus making it very hard for our boys in the NRA to shot bottles off they're front porch. We are also seeing a great decrease in news broadcasts of the war which is causing a greater decrease in Popularity with the hit TV series LOST,so what we are going to do is put it all into big industries so that you as the little people, Qualifications to be little include: Having a Collage degree and a Law degree, and a PhD. can have more opportunities in the job world. thus making the economy grow from within. Sorry guys i don't mean to be going on a rant here but i just don't believe that this will ever come down to low class. its a bold move on a dying Political Party.

I was going to buy a swap (too damned expensive) with my return, but decided on a dslr instead.

The word is that the checks will be *up to* $800 but that something like 40% of people will get nothing... and if it goes through, supposedly they'll actually start on it in June.
I'll bet my stupid refund check that checks hit homes right before the election, a nice little feel-good about the Republican party action and maybe a way to buy votes for Mr. Romney? -------------------- ![]() |

Just remember, that $800 isn't coming from nowhere -- hell, it's not even coming from the taxes you've paid. Those were already spent. It'll come from the ever-increasing US national debt whose interest payments are already eating tax dollars by the bucketload, the bucket-size also increasing.
Then again, it's not as if the government isn't doing the same thing its citizens have perfected: short-term thinking leading to an unescapable debt hole. That's why the sub-prime mortagage trend is causing this economic slowdown -- lending to people who can't afford to pay it back created an unsustainable economy and we're seeing the correction now. Exactly the same as the Asian flu, except you'd think the financial institutions would have learned something from watching most of a contienent drop into a massive recession a decade ago. |

Exactly the same as the Asian flu, except you'd think the financial institutions would have learned something from watching most of a continent drop into a massive recession a decade ago. Correct. Low interest rates and no closing costs led to the idea of "anyone can own a home". Everyone was out getting a loan. Then people couldn't afford the place, and now the banks are out paying on them, which leads to banks not lending as much as often, which then leads to the slump. But analysts are suspecting to end this year ('08) in the green. The weak US dollar means people from other countries are looking for a deal. They're coming over to spend their money in our market while it's down, which will lead to the market returning to it's rightful place. All the while the US deficit is ~$5,000,000,000,000 strong...and growing (every time I say this it reminds me of the Flintstones vitamin commercials ![]() -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
