Economic Stimulus?

This new economic stimulus package is a JOKE!

First, you must file your taxes for 2007 to receive it. And then, it's just an advance on you 2008 return. So in 2008, you will get $600 less.

Something to look forward to. Pfft.

Our government sucks.

Of course it's a joke.

The government is giving us money so we can spend it and stimulate their pockets.

Scratch that.

I'll just say that I sense a DEPRESSION is on the way.

First they make billions appear out of thin air ($152 billion to be exact) and decide to Stimulate US with "free money" . Mainstream media is reporting that most Americans are spending it on gas (Big Oil), paying on their debt/credit (Bankers), medical bills and ever increasing priced perscription medication (Big Pharma and Insurance), and quite a bit on groceries (Food Shortage?). The worst of all is that this is not "free money" once again we are adding to a growing burden on our future generations to pay back what has been chosen to spend. I wonder exactly how much money the "deciders" stand to make off the stimulated induced spending?
