What the F@ck good is

$300 going to do me? This stimulus package is bullshit.

 

[jmatkins]

And then they will find a way to tax us on that check too.

I guess we could all go to the local B+M and buy a box of Miami made Pepin's:assaultri :widemouth

 

[Greg]

I'm getting $600, that's a box of robustos and a set of irons :grin:

 

[tobby4]

Its money, STFU and enjoy it...

 

[cvm4]

I'd rather not have it so I won't have to pay it off later in my lifetime.

(A) $300

(B) Poke in the eye with a sharp stick

Your choice. :wink:

 

[dpricenator]

I just read
$600 for each working tax payer who made more than $3000
$300 if you made less than $3000
$300 per child


I'm getting $1500 back, but this is not the best idea. But I'll spend it just the same.

 

[Halon]

Do I get $300 too?

Most people won't spend it, it will go to pay down debt.

It might depend on whether you're parents still claim you as a dependent or not. No clue there...

If you made >$3000 last year and are a tax payer, you should get $600. At least that's what Yahoo news is saying. If you parent's claimed you as a dependant, then they may get the $300 child rebate.

[Angry Bill]

Give me my money, don't tax me on this refund, don't raise my taxes and permanently stop the SCHIF bills. hehe

 

[jwintosh]

Hmmm... My dad claims me as a dependent, but I also make more than $3,000 a year.
I guess I'll just wait and see if a check shows up!

Its a conspiracy with the govt to get everyone to buy a playstation3 since the wii is outselling them.

I absolutely disagree.... there will be a fraction of the individuals who will use it to pay off debt but realistically they are not the ones that have the large amounts to pay off. Those that have the huge numbers of unsecured credit card debt will most likely spend it on frivolous stuff and not pay off debt...

You think the whole subprime thing was bad, wait until the fall out of the unsecured credit card debt... that will hurt...

Yeah, I work at a debt settlement comapany. It's getting busier every month. Crazy how these people got this way.

Crisis #1 - Subprime

Crisis #2 - Unsecured Credit Card Debt (already heard politicians/media talking about it)

Crisis #3 - Student Loans (Just wait its coming)

Personally I doubt I'll see the 300 or 600 or what ever the hell it is. Why don't they just make the rate cuts permanent and the cut them more (lets test Laffer’s Curve a little more).

Free money I will take it, even if its 50 dollars
