How Will You Spend Your Rebate?

I'll believe it when I see it! I don't believe anything my government tells me anymore. They will cut a little here and a little there, and before you know it there won't be anything left to give me. Every politician has to get his cut. This P.R. that we are getting now is a farce, to make us think they are helping.

My husband and I would put the rebate into either savings for a house down payment or to pay off the car loan. (It depends on when we actually receive the check.)

WOW! my $600. rebate will buy gas, groceries and pay the utility bill for one month. That will really change my life!

How will a $600. rebate even come close to helping a single middleclass worker? It might pay for one month of gas, groceries,
and pay the utility bill. What a "sham"! It doesn't change anything
that is wrong with our economy and the government that spends
over $300 million dollars a day of our money giving it away to Iraq
and others.

Hello,
I’ve just written a piece concerning the proposed tax rebate stimulus package, and more importantly why it cannot possibly work, for the site www.popdose.com. In it, I basically lay out the fundamental problem with the plan. I have sent this to you in hopes you’ll take a look at it.
The specific article can be found at:

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Dw. Dunphy
