Bills are on my priority list too!

I'm the dumb one here! How can they DO that???

I have not seen the news in the past few days....

So a couple only gets $600 times the number of working? So like H works, W doesn't therefore they get $600? Is that right?

Correct. Only federal tax payers get tax relief.

Woo Hoo! $1,800 for our family. And, I expect to get some back from taxes, too. We can start paying down some of the 0% interest credit cards. maybe we finally, some day, won't have a balance that we need to transfer to a new card every 6 monts, or year, or so.

Bird, I don't think the $600 is just for working spouses. Greenjeans post, above, is also what I've heard/read. Just matters whether or not you make too much.

Well if its like the last time then those of us who do not work will get nothing. So I will not be holding my breath, but if anyone is having a party. I'll be there LOL.

You can say that again, LOL.

I agree. Conservatively, his tenure has cost my DH and me about $20K a year. Times 8. Let's see, we're down $160,000.00. I won't even get into health care costs.

I'm not a greedy person. I'll settle for $100,000.00.

For the mental anquish caused, I'd like that tax free, please.

NOW he's going to worry about the economy??

I have to agree. The economy has been in a free fall for about 2 years. Its affected my life at least that long. Futher, have been displaced in a limited work force. Gas prices at $3 and milk 2 gal for $8. Fruit and veggies very expensive here. Hanging on by a thread. The fact we are here in itself is a tragidy and makes many Americans vunerable. Thankfully a second mortgage went thru just a few hours ago. Relief in site. Taxes I'll get hosed on for 07 due to withdrawls of a SEP IRA. Blaaaaaaaa.....this check will help for the month I get it, and then will be gone...and it won't fix the mess we are in.

Oh gee THANKS Shrub...another subsidy for the energy companies...Where I live, it will ALL be going to heating and electricity costs.

I don't agree with this , sorry. I think it would be better spent on funding infrastructure. Bridges are collapsing, roads are shot, steam pipes exploding in NY, etc, etc, etc. If they spent it on infrastructure, more people would be working and the money would be spread further and some benefit would come from it that would benefit EVERYONE!

This "refund" is like putting a spot bandaid on an evisceration.
