Rebate Checks

[NuTcAsE]

How to use the rebate:

As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one

of us would now get a nice rebate. If we spend that money at

Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline

it will all go to the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will all go

to India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to

Mexico, Honduras, and Guatamala, if we purchase a good car it will

all go to Japan, if we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan

and none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America, so the only way to keep

that money here at home is to buy prostitutes and beer, since those

are the only businesses still in the US.

[Guest darkstar]

At least you guys are getting the rebate check. Uncle Sam says I made too much

[Bigiron]

Hmmmmm. Buy American. Available product. How about a politician???

[molonlabetn]

Either a reloading setup and some components to last a while, or just buy ammo... or, upgrade my carry gun.

So, you must be one of those "evil rich people".....

[Guest Rccola]

Does anyone know how much we are getting back? is it $600 per person if your married or just $600?

[Guest Len]

Most people will get $600.00 Couples filing jointly will get $1200.00. Some also get an extra $300.00/kid. People with AGI over a certain amount (I want to say its in the upper 70's) get reduced amounts or zip. You have to file a 2007 return to qualify.

I got my letter yesterday saying I would be getting a notice later about how much I get. So, the govt. passes this STUPID feel-good stimulus bill (that does nothing), then spends MILLIONS mailing letters to everyone saying they will be getting a letter with the amount on it. Then, the govt spends MILLIONS more to send the notices with the amounts on it, then spends MILLIONS more actually issuing the checks and making the deposits. (Direct deposit is not free, its just much cheaper than mailing a check.)

Am I missing something, or is this just astoundingly stupid?

PS. I'm spending mine on gun stuff. Probably a box or two of ammo the way prices are going...

[ZenDog]

Ammo ammo ammo- I'll buy $600 worth of ammo (or that shot gun I have been thinking about). Ammo keeps going up, and it goes up at a rate higher than any investments I might have, so ammo is a great investment, imho.

[saintsfanbrian]

I will be using it to pay off any bills that are still out standing so I can be OUT OF DEBT Completely. (okay except the house) If there are none by that time then I will be putting it in savings (gold) so when the countries finances go belly up I will have something

[Guest Rccola]

I am putting mine towards bills. I am trying to get everything but house and car paid off this year.

[Guest eyebedam]

Im thinking maybe a Walther p99. Then spend the rest on bills.

[VERO1]

Majority of it will be debt reduction. The rest will be mad money for something like a box of 22LR!

[Smith]

How do you know if you'll be getting anything?

Jeeeez I wish....actually I had a really good year at work until November. I received a quarterly bonus based on how well the company did (consulting for health care clients, i.e. hospitals, physician groups, etc) We had signed on some good clients and all was working well, I got 2 bonuses that were very nice. Long story short, I got pretty sick last September and was in the hospital for 2 weeks, then had to rehab / physical therapy for 6 weeks. My first day back at work they decide to tell me that there has been a shift in the business philosophy and that they decided my job was no longer necessary. Nice huh? I guess that was the real answer or the almost $100K in hospital, and therapy bills their insurance had to pay out. They pretty much had to give me a fat severance deal and between that and the good bonuses I make too much. Whattya gonna do? (not get a tax rebate is what )

[Guest db99wj]

I am one that is married and has 4 kids...I will be paying toward bills, my goal for the year end is to be debt free, minimum of bills, house and car note, it things go well this year, get rid of that car note, getting close to having to replace my Jeep, so another car note is in the future. Even though my goal is by year end, I am hoping that I will have the equity line paid off by the end of summer, then start paying on the car.

[Guest TargetShooter84]

Might use it toward my next gun purchase.

[Guest Grout]

Hummm...I wonder what will I buy first?

Hell,Buy them in tandem.

[strickj]

Or I could buy one and use it to get the other for free
