President Bush (do we still call him that......is he entitled?), has announced that the rebate checks will begin going out on Monday the 28th, a whole week earlier than expected."This money is going to help Americans offset the high prices we're seeing at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and will also give our economy a boost to help us pull out of this economic slowdown," he stated.
The $168 billion stimulus package will be going to individuals and families, ranging from $300 to $1,200. I don't know about you, but whenever it does get here it's going straight to bills, bills, bills. Unfortunately that's going to be my only contribution to helping the economy. As a tax preparer myself, don't bother looking for it if you owe Uncle Sam any money either. They will of course be chipping away from that what you owe THEM! That should get the economy going. Though I'm not complaining, every little bit helps and if they want to foot the IRS bill - by all means. With the housing, credit and financial debacle, the "slowdown" as Bush calls it, looks like the stimulus will hardly put a dent into anything our economy is suffering from.
I say we should invite him and his whole administration to buy some new sneakers from a V.I.M.'s in Brooklyn if they are that concerned. Or how about make gas and milk FREE for a whole week! I know a lot to ask for, maybe something more realistic would suffice. SEND US SOME JOBS!!!!!
