So....whatcha gonna do with your money? They do call it a rebate, but don't forget - it is YOUR money. Just coming back after the government laid hands on it for awhile.
Anyway, two folks think somewhat different thoughts on what you'll be doing with your money.
When the money reaches the American people, we expect they will use it to boost consumer spending. - President George W. Bush
It's galling to think that taxpayers' stimulus checks will be lining the pockets of OPEC. The sad truth is that the average American family will spend almost their entire stimulus check on higher gas prices this year. - Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Joint Economic Committee of Congress
Ours is going into savings. Not quite what either had in mind. Particularly with Dubya's comment of
"It's obvious our economy is in a slowdown. But, fortunately, we recognized the signs early and took action." I still wish some politicians understood economy in a free society better. The government can do a few things to help the economy (mostly, get off our backs!), but THE most important thing for the economy is what we the people can do.
-Colonel Steve
