  • Stimulus Rip Off

    "I paid the sales tax and fees out of savings - $1,175. Planned to the replace with the stimulus. ($1,200 MFJ). Guess what, my stimulus was only $ 702. I guess the IRS did the CYA with two little words after Our Glorius Leader OGL = Pres Bush made his pitch, which were " up to...""

  • Credit Card Chainsaw Massacre

    "We paid off some bills and chainsawed a credit card or three. The stimulus went to the rear, as in money already spent. If the Government wants to stimulate the economy maybe they should invest in the infrastructure of this country. Good old fashioned roads and bridges, up to date medical facilities, and the education of our children. Just some plain common sense. It would be nice if all of congress and the Presdent were forced to watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington before voting on any graft or resolution or whatever they want to call it."

  • All for nought!

    "You can see the scenery of the mountains as being beautiful. however the money we got ($1200 ) is saved to reach the max of $5000 and taken out and put in my safe in the basement because there will be a chaos worst than 9/11 coming up ahead. If you wait till the chaos all the banks will go bankrupt since they do not have any assets to back you all up! Best to be prepared than not. Take care."
