US GOV sending out "Economic Stimulus" checks again!!!!!!!! YEY!!!!!
 

Last time they did this was in 93 from what I remember.

This time GW Bushy says they are sending single people 800.00 each

and married people with family 1400.00 per household.

They are trying to jumpstart the economy again.

Fuck thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!


Free Money!!!!!!!!!!!!

The checks will be issued in the next month and half.


WOOOOT WOOOOOOT!!!!

I plan to blow mine on narcotics.

Here's a MSNBC article from this morning.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22725498/

The CNN report just said that it could be as high as 1000 dollars per single or 1700 dollars per family.

Give a big thanks to China for that :thumbsup

That's only for people who make under 75k a year.

no shit :Oh crap

I get fucked again :helpme

Prices will jump

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We need a relief check for people over 100k then.



Fucking pricks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're the ones paying for everyone else's food stamps anyhow.

Kick back mother fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Same here.

Lawmakers are discussing a $500 rebate for individuals, said aides to lawmakers involved in the talks, with details for couples and people with children still being negotiated. The rebates would likely be limited to individuals with incomes of $85,000 or less and couples with incomes of $110,000 or less, the aides said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no final decisions had been made.

where do these news people get their fucking numbers?

i just sat hear and heard CNN say the numbers i posted above and the printed it on the screen. WTF?

how does 1000.00 to singles drop to 500.00 when a diff news source reports it? lol. so far i've heard 3 diff figures from 3 diff news agencies.

hahaha.

Where do they get the money from when they do something like this?

It says it's going to cost 100 billion, but what's going to get cut to pay for it?

Especially since Republicans don't like taxes.

MATT you have 9,999 posts

cnn said we wont see the money til summer anyway...

yah, these fuckwits have no clue. msnbc just said not more than 10 minutes ago that checks would be sent out within the next month and a half.

fucking nitwits. no consistency in reporting.

Its not really FREE when you pay $XX,XXX in taxes a year. And i'll get that sorry $1,000 back wow i am thrilled!

I would rather see the fed move the tax brackets further out for several years. Or cut the damn property taxes at the state/local levels. It is quite fucked up in my opinion that when real estate values are on a decline the taxes assessment is substantially increased. At least here in Florida.

This move is just a gov't promotion before elections.

If anyone willing to give me xx,xxx i'll send you 100% Free $1,500!

adjusted for inflation :1orglaugh

Nice! The people who pay next to nothing in taxes anyway get a fucking check. And people who support the whole nation get fucked again, Not even a thank you note...

its such a waste of money, its like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound. Want to know what would help, say credit card interest can be written off again and make it retroactive to 2007. That spur spending like they want. I like how bush is telling them to keep his tax cuts, its like dont you see the mess all around you.

hey guy its thread fodder for me.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

if those fuckers are willing to give me back some of my hard earned money, i'll take it seeing how the thing you talked about won't happen.

i'm not even getting a check. i'm way over the cutoff. they fuck us going both ways i guess. lol.

yah, thats bullshit. i want my check damnit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good plan

I'm not necessarily against it but the only way to get this money is future taxation.

We are looking at a increase in debt to be paid in taxes later. In return we will get about a 1% increase in GDP because face it if you give people who make less than $75k/year some extra money they are gonna spend it, not save it.

If Bernanke is right and we are facing a slowdown which could get close to recession but not quite reach it the extra 1% spending will increase the odds of not having a recession and probably keep us out of one. If Bernanke is wrong and we face a substantial recession then this is, as tony404 said, just a bandaid that ain't gonna help much. Two points of view. No one knows which is right.

I do????

This has got to be the dumbest administration to ever goven a country

fuckin stupid:2 cents:

Count yourself lucky - the only "rebate" we get in the UK is the promise of not being raped with a stick every month... and my ass still hurts from last months raping...

I love my country ;-)

Your absolutely right, its kind of funny when the US government dishes out money it doesn't have to worthless fucks by selling junk bonds to the chinese and gulf states...look for the dollar to drop more...just another stupid idea that we will end up paying for dearly 10 years down the road.

We have had 20+ years of decent economic growth...once governments try and fuck with economic cycles with cheap money wavic will carnate!

bye now..

ps my sig is for sale for the rest of the year for $200 bucks.....icq me fast

I used to think i had it bad when i lived in London, but believe me its worse here in California. For example i had a 7 bedroom house in Wimbledon and paid at the time £600 a year housing tax ($1200 at todays exchange rates)
My home in San Diego which i call a 4 bedroom shed as its just wood and stucco cost me £5,000.00 ( $10,000.00 ) a year property tax. Then there's State and Federal tax, Business tax ( $800 minimum even if you dont make a profit ) Business and home improvement tax ( an example would be if you re modeled you home and spent $500,000.00 the tax would be 2% extra every year therafter. I could go on and on but the UK looks mighty appealing right now what with the £ to $ exchange rates....:2 cents:

I hear that, my san diego brother. Thats the price you gotta pay to live in beautiful san diego. Otherwise it would be another brooklyn. Gotta pay to keep the nigs out:pimp

Bribery...

"Shut up about the job I've done, here's some money."

i want my fucking money GWB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna go spend my check in Canada.

kind of funny how the USA is trillians of dollars in debt and now decides to send out $800 cheques to around 250 million people. lol

Didn't they make people pay those back the last time?

Won't they do that again... but this time _after_ the election?

I like that idea.

From what I read they are only sending to ppl who make less than 85k. I would assume lots of ppl here won't be getting checks and the others are post whores who are in dire need of it.

You might need a new accountant.

It would be nice to have my gov't just give me a check for there stupidity but I'm sure that would lead to some stupid shit happening later. Goodluck lol

Wow, he's a big spender good 'ol Georgie-boy... first blowing astronomical amounts of your money on warfare to keep up the moneyflow in some less ethical business,
and now he's gonna hand out cash to people...

Money which those of You that pay the most taxes ARE/WILL BE paying for - "it's gonna cost more to not be poor" (and those who already are poor will be even more fucked).

Think about it... exactly HOW big a hypocrites are the republicans in charge? Unreal!

so this basically means that people over 75k a year, like a lot of us here are going to be getting taxed heavier to give the nitwits that are terrible with money more money to go spend at walmart on toys and shit they don't need to survive in life.

awesome.

I'd rather they used the money to help pay off the national debit.

I have to admit that I wasn't aware anywhere in the US was that pricey compared to the UK - I always had plans of exploiting the exchange rate later on in life, going to the US and living like a king in the US from a pauper's amount in the UK.

The "home improvement tax" seems stupid - surely the government would prefer people to bring their shit-tips up to scratch, so that said shit-tips increase in value, thus encouraging house purchases in formerly shitty areas, and overall boosting the economy; taxing people who want to improve their homes seems to be equivalent to knocking people in education on the head with a lump hammer. :2 cents:

In fact, it would be used to help preventing the debt from increasing of that amount ...

Repaying will be the job of the next government, probably the democrats. So they will be blamed for increased taxes and cuts in the military ..... while this bozo will be remembered for this fat check ....:disgust

Yeah that will save the US economy :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So they are just going to hand over the cash to everyone in the country who earns under $75K?

Thats messed up....

Surely opening up the health service would be money better spent - Talk about short sighted....

Even people who didn't earn it will get it. You pay for there checks!:thumbsup

The next president is at a high risk of being booted after one term. The average American isn't going to understand that it is Bush's old shit that is hitting the fan.

The average american needs more than 1 term to figure out that shit has hit
the fan and there's a lot of proof to back up that statement :helpme
