If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I don't see anything there for me but I really woudn't care if this actually did stimulate theeconomy. I remain skeptical. |

ZOOOOOM!

I dunno about that. I'm not sure if they intended you to buy specific things with the money you receive, but I know that if I had 13 bucks in my wallet, I wouldn't much think of putting it into a savings account. I'd surely spend it. Regarding the rest, well... what they chose to talk about in this article is extremely limited. I'm not skeptical so much as I am genuinely interested. I figure we can start to make conclusions in a year or two at the earliest. |

I don't care how much more we get in a paycheck right now. We are holding tightly onto every dollar we can put away right now. New flat screen TVs are not on the horizon. |

Well with 13 bucks a week, I'm not going to be getting one very soon either. But I may get me an extra burrito or two. |

HOLY CARP!!!
|
Exactly. I think it will work a lot better than getting a lump sum of $500 or some such thing. Much more likely to get money flowing in the economy to piss it away without much thought. |

Well crap, the "new car" credit won't work for me because it is just a credit for sales taxes and license fees - which we don't have in Oregon. I think licensing and fees is about $100 max - not much incentive. Possibly I'd buy a hybrid if there is still a credit for that. Other than that, I don't see anything in the plan that will benefit me (but then again, we are not hurting economically - yet). |

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!

Weren't we already allowed to deduct sales taxes on the Federal forms? Did that expire? |

You can't even get that if you take into account the S&H. I still want one of those, though. |
