Chris Government rebate check? Did I miss something? If it's like any other tax cut, it might get me a bottle of paint, but beyond that.... -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutcrafting.com/group/rec.models.scale/ More information at http://www.talkaboutcrafting.com/faq.html > Government rebate check?

If I were on relief and had no income, then I could count on getting a big refund for taxes I never paid in the first place!! That is our Robin Hood government at work. I keep hearing we have a president who is a compassionate conservative. I think the definition of that must be liberal democrat. I'm going "on strike"! I won't buy anything other than what I actually need to survive. That is until Monogram releases a 1/48 Visible Mitchell or we get someone to release the Renwal Visible Wasp engine, or..........(:> "> I won't get a check because I actually work for a living and make a > decent income.

Think of it this way - you go to the local appliance store. If you buy a $300 appliance you get a $50 rebate. If you buy nothing - you get a $400 rebate. Makes perfect sense to me. If it was up to Hillary, if you bought the $300 appliance - you'd have to give an extra $100 to the guy who didn't buy anything. Now you know the difference between Republicans and Democrats. > "> I won't get a check because I actually work for a living and make a > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > $100 to the guy who didn't buy anything.

He IS a compassionate conservative. Look at his conservative fiscal policy. Oh, wait... Okay, so he IS compassionate. Remember how he was going to deal with the rascal who outed Plame? Until he found out it was Dick. Via himself. Oops. Well, okay, but you have to give him his claim to be a "uniter, not a divider". I'd say he has pretty much got the whole world united in their opinion of the US government, at the least... Ahh, one last "State of the (dis-)Union" speech from him. Pity I have a meeting with the sub-continent that will keep me from watching such a historic and joyous event... Oh well, it will start with a lie, no doubt. He may even voice that lie with some regret, given his attempts to create a monarchy. Bruce Signature------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!"

Unfortunately it still has to get through the house and senate and I ain't holding my breath on that.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Craig If the rebate money is spent (not put away) it will most likely go towards one of these: 1. pay off some existing bills (credit card debt, car payment, mortgage payment, etc.). 2. purchase bunch of items at Wally Mart (made in China) 3. purchase a luxury item like a flat screen HDTV (made in China by a Japanese copmany). 4. (on this group:) purchase some model kits, supplies or tools (most likely all made in China). This will dramatically strengthen the US economy, right? Sure Mr. President! I'm no accountant but I smell a rat here. :-) Peteski > should buy 2-3 Trumpter kits... > > unfortunately, mine will go right to pay off the property tax bill > > Craig Same way we spent the first Bush rebate.........paying higher utility bills, maybe a tank of gas for our two 4 bangers; you know, sifting a little bit more sand under our feet in this rat hole!!!!!!

I think it was about 2 years ago. SignatureBill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ so they've come up w/ a "compromise" plan, that includes money for people that don't pay taxes because their income is too low. that was a sticking point in the initial proposal ("those that would benefit the most / sure to spend it wouldn't get it" was the original sticking point) on CSPAN last night, somebody from the treasury was testifying before the finance(?) committee. The gist of his testimony was that if it were signed into law today, the checks wouldn't be available until late June / early July anyway. Reasons given: a) swamped w/ "filing season" processing, so they wouldn't be able to start the project until late April to early March, and b) it would take 8-10 weeks thereafter to issue and mail the checks. at least two of the committee members appeared stunned that the checks wouldn't be in the mail the day after signing... : at least two of the committee members appeared stunned that the checks : wouldn't be in the mail the day after signing... I expect that rush to create an "economic stimulus" plan, and the need to put aside differences with "those people", had all of the congress critters facing re-election busily planning their "look what I did for you louts!" campaigns. Only to have very cold water thrown on their dreams, and the quick realization that they would instead be faced with "where the hell is my gubmint check, dammit?" questions. Poor pols. It is so hard to have an angry electorate. All that hard work and suck up points, down the tubes. Bruce Signature------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like bad!" Bruce Burden Austin, TX. - Thuganlitha The Power and the Prophet Robert Don Hughes Any bets on whether we'll have to claim it next year & pay taxes on it, both fed and state (for those of us who get screwed by state taxes)? Either way, mine is buying some carpet or book cases, every cent of it!
