Anyone else heard about this?
I'm hoping it goes through..
Yep. It's been in the news a lot lately. We sure could use it. But then who (besides the rich) couldn't?
I think it'd be wonderful! It seems like they're going to put it into effect, too. I could wait until May or June for it.
It's nice, but I can hardly see where a one-time rebate will stimulate the economy beyond the first month. DUHHHHHH. Tax cuts would do more to stimulate the economy long-term.
This is true..but I think Bush is maybe trying to have a not so bad ending to his presidency maybe.
I think tax cuts should come with the new president so that there will be a good chance of them staying constant for a while.
i'll save mine for a few months and stimulate the economy later on... there! its more than the first month now! lol!
Well, Bush had implemented a tax cut that's about to expire. The "other side" wants to raise taxes.
I think we should have both the tax cuts and the rebate. That'd make me a happy camper :)
I was looking at my boyfriend's W-2 form the other day and I could not believe how much more taxes were taken out of his than mine! (He lives in Michigan..) I'm definitely not looking forward to that..
I vote for apostolic_girl!
..and I promise that when I'm president that blah blah blah :D
Just say lower taxes, no gay marriages and no state funded abortions and we'll vote for ya. :laughhard:
"Lower taxes, no gay marriages and no state funded abortions."
:D
You got my vote! :thumbsup2:
If elected president I promise:
1. To fire the head of FEMA.
2. To do all I can within the confines of legal process to get every single illegal alien out of the country.
3. To pardon anyone convicted of violating the "rights" of illegal aliens.
4. To ok plural marriage.
5. To make Amelia Bedelia, Sunlight, and Sippin Tea the first ladies :-)
haha! /me votes
but im not tellin who im voting for
Planks 4 & 5 did you in, brother!
No. Planks 4 and 5 show may fairness and humanity. I will have a blonde, brunette, and a redhead. Since I am gray headed that would make everyone happy. :-) (especially me! :freaky2:)
Go back to Saudi Arabia! BLAH! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/scared003.gif)

Tsk, tsk... you're colorblind (again!). :nono: But it would be amusing to me to see who you think is blond, brunette, and redheaded. :cool:

:beret:
Isn't he a little old for you?
Ya think? ;)
:beret:
Was thinking someone more like this for you....

Amelia is the brunette, Sunlight is the redhead, and I thought Sippin Tea was the blonde... I guess she is light brown.
As for age... if you add them all together it works :-)
:spitlaugh: I guess I am light brown *grin*... but I'll let the other gals answer for themselves.
Sis--Now I'm very curious. *smile* Not saying whether you're right or wrong, but why did you pick that particular picture?
:beret:
First good looking guy I ran across. Is he an actor, or something?
I have no idea. LOL I was just curious why you thought he was my 'type'. *smile*
:beret:
:sing: You deserve the best today.....
*curtsies* Why thank you!
:beret:
i'm actually a brunette with red highlights that get stronger when i go outside a lot in the summer and am not stuck in a classroom... but i'm definately a brunette. Sorry to dissapoint you WT!
guess that means no more nice messages from you huh? rats. lol!
i am protesting the nomination of world traveler because he CLEARLY discriminates against older women. all of the women he wanted for first ladies are well below the median age of people who are middle aged and bapkas. i feel that if he were to be president there would be a war of economic proportions waged by the women he would allow first to decorate, rearrange and otherwise order china for the white house. besides, if he had three first ladies, he would be unbalanced - two on one side and one on the other.
VOTE NO!
*this message has been approved by me, president of the pink pack* :pwink:
:laughhard:
:beret:
haha! that is great!/me goes back and deletes the rest of her comment...
sunlight, you can't delete comments. the papparazi will come along and take pics of what they thought you said and make it into something else and photoshop a pic of you and WT and next thing you know you'll be living in an apartment in brussels!
come on. fess up. what was the rest of the comment?
by the way, in an effort to get us back on track, i think that lani's suggestion that seth begin buying presents for those of us in line ought to carry over here.
seth? if you need some cash for those presents you're going to buy for me and lani and leah, the government is stepping up to the plate to help you. :pwink: isn't that nice?
that IS nice of the government! now maybe you can get something that cost more than 10 cents! lol!
It's not a "rebate". It's borrowing from as yet "unpaid" taxes from future years (and generations).
........... essentially, then, ..... it's STEALING! (which is something that governments excel in), ..... or, ... at best, ... it's a con job. (something else that governments excel in)
"Steal from the rich, give to the poor.."

He went home to answer the phone, remember?
so if he went home to answer the phone and has not yet returned, it can be surmised that he is no longer an illegal alien. of course, that was several years ago so he might also no longer be single, but it's hard to know for sure.
ya know?
Yeah, maybe he's got scruff by now! :laughhard: :hypocrite:

Okay, LOL.
He's from the Miami one. :) *watched him faithfully*
If I am understanding things correctly. The goverment just passed a bill thousands of USA Americans will recieve EXTRA $$$ from uncle Sam... Ranging any where from $600 to $1200 I think then so much for each CHild..
Then I think if I underand those who are on Social Security and Vets will get and extra $300.00 now my question is does that include us who are on
SSI/SSD those of is who are NOT over 65 but had to get our disabity checks early in life?
Any One Know the Answer to this wild Quistion? LOL
Thank you for your Help..
In other words, I get nothing. single, young, no kids. *sigh* Guess that means I'll be paying for the rest of youse. :sadbounce:
if you work if I understand this you will get $600.00
woo hoo! Where do I sign?
again if I understand things correctly checks will be mailed out liek in MAy, Juny July area... Not sure that is why I was asking ??
I know may-SIS knows she Knows every thing
:tantrum: Sis don't know nuthin'
Oh now Sis. Sop being Modest.. Yeap U doo. :freaky2: :freaky2: :couch: :couch:
There's a thread about this in the News section :updown:
I looked in the news section, and if there is a thread about this, I did not see it.
I merged both topics over here.
you are so cool sis! neato!
I am? *Sis blows on fingernails and rubs them on her shirt* Why, Thank ya!
I still don't have an answer to my ? LOL Do those of us who get $$$$ from the goverment to live on like SSI/SSD or just plain SS get that extra money also??? I am pretty sure those who are on just plain Social Security do, but since I got it early in my 30's do I still get it>>>
Oh yea Sis thanks for merging the 2 together... you are so Kind :great:
