Another dumb idea. It has been overshadowed by the elections! I liked the money though!

Apparently, it is part of a "total economic stimulus package!" I have no idea what the rest of it is. But, I've heard Pres. Shrub say, 'give it time to work!' :wtf:

It really isn't enough for each individual to do much; i.e. like make a house payment and get out of foreclosure. Most people won't toss it in a sinking ship! That is where I think he thought it go. Last house payment the Prez. made, may have been that low. No longer the case!

Its gonna take time for it to have the desired effect... changing global economies doesn't happen over night. The problem I have with this is just as soon as the Dems take office, they are going to raise taxes to cover it and more. I can't afford any more taxes... I am already paying 32% of my net profits in taxes.

Fortunately, for me right now the house payment is not a big issue, because its on a 5% 15 year fixed rate, and will be paid for in just another 3 years or so.
