I can’t confirm the accuracy of these claims, they are the most common agreed upon terms though. ---

But it makes sense, I’m pretty much what it’s targeted at amirite? Low income, afraid to spend money…give them $600 and let em buy some video games, hamburgers, and gas, then the economy somehow flings itself out of the grasps of recession? Brilliant! :rofl Gotta love America ---

my father told me he saw a poll somewhere, where only a third of the people that are getting the rebate check are actually going out and spending the money, seems pointless to me, we are still getting fucked on taxes anyways ---

What I meant was I didn’t know exactly WHY we were in a recession, or what a recession even was, by definition…had a basic idea, but now I know. ---

I really HIGHLY doubt this was Bush’s idea, matter of fact I don’t think he has many outside of which combination of breakfast meats to consume every morning. I’m saying this was a collective decision of people who know how to run a country a WHOLE lot better than you or I…I’m sure it’ll be at least play a role in reviving our economy, and maybe even give a shot in the arm of American Morale as a whole, shit our government’s giving us what we all live for basically, a nice chunk of change that we can blow on w/e we WANT, and not what we HAVE TO pay for (I’m only basing this statement on the brief thing’s I’ve read wanting US citizens to spend this money, not pay bills or save…). In the very least it’ll put a smile on some faces this summer :rofl But what happens next tax season? Is this just treated as taxable income? ---

Ever consider this was done purposely at election time? Yea, I am aware it’s other people but GWB refers to him and his administration. ---

I did for a while until i really sat down and thought about it and well, not only is he intelligent hes a fucking genious. He fooled all of the US into going to war in the middle east, this raised our oil prices as we sadly notice every day. Now as we all know gwb has lots of investment and ties in oil, so by going to war he’s secured himself, his children, and probably his childrens children financially. I have to give him credit for that one, thats pretty god damn good. ---
