• Stimulate This

    "I put almost all of our check to pay off credit. By the end of the year we'll be debt free. I would bitch about how my husband and I, being in poverty, only got $647, but I won't. Because I know this is only a 2008 tax refund advance based on 2007 (we owed last year). So at least we will still get a refund next year where some people won't because they got it all as a stimulus check. Same difference, but this helps us more now to look for a house to buy early next year. Our furry children will appreciate it. This may be a last ditch effort to make the presidency look good, but when people figure out it wasn't free money Bush will be gone. People spend this wisely, it is your well deserved money. Oh, and as for the $47, it went to dinner out because it's been a long time for that. So, thanks I guess."

  • It's a myth that it's an advance, check out the FAQs on the irs.gov site, it is NOT an advance on next year's rebate and rebates next year will NOT be lower due to it. It's actually in the passed legislation that next year's IRS collection is not impacted by these checks. So that's good news for everyone.

    Side note, it wasn't a last-ditch effort to make the Presidency look good. As the left-wingers on here are quick to point out in any post that praises GW, the stimulus checks are courtesy of the Democrats. So you can thank them for now, and blame them later.

  • how many times does it need to be said? It is not a advance on next years income tax refund.

  • Poverty? LOL Do you eat beans and potatoes every night? Do you have to keep patching your old clothes because you can't buy anything new? Do you wear tennis shoes that are over five years old? I bet you even have cable TV. Cell phone? You can afford to keep pets and that's technically a luxury. It amazes me how people in this country think they have it so bad. Yeah, this economy stinks but people in this country are so spoiled. The second they can't buy something they want on a whim, they think the world is ending. I mean come on, you said you're looking for a house to buy. People in poverty don't buy houses. *rolls eyes*
