What will you do with your government cheese?

It sounds like they aren't going to be getting the effect that they expected.

I do think this is better than Bush's rebates, but it's not going to be a savior of the economy.

Pay off debt.

We're not going to get anything, so..... nothing.

I don't know if we're going to get anything...

But, if we do I'll pay off debt, spend some on what I need, and hopefully save a bit for our trip to Brazil!!

We're not getting any.

why do people think they aren't going to get any?

Lots of people won't get any.

For example, if current news reports are how the bill pans out in the end, married couples with household incomes over 150k won't get any. That's a huge number of households in higher-cost parts of the country. You basically have couples with two middle-income jobs (75K each) disqualified from the rebate.

Also, people who did not receive a paycheck won't get a rebate.

I'd heard that even the richies were going to get it...someone on the news was saying how exactly does giving Bill Gates a $1200 married couple rebate, put money back into the economy.

I wasn't thinking about non-earners....didn't think we had any on VJ, support for immigrant spouse and all...

The Senate bill would give it to Bill Gates. But the bill passed yesterday in Congress has an income cap of 150K for couples.

The 'final' bill is anyones guess. I'd like to see the income cap at no less than 200k.

Ok, so right, no one can say at this point that they won't get anything... in one week the number fluctuated between $300 and $800 per individual... who knows?
