I think it's stupid because we don't have money like that to be giving out, we're in tremendous national debt and this will only add to the problem of inflation. I don't think a lot of people think about that when they realize they are recieving hundreds of dollars in rebate, but I think it's going to hurt in the long run more than help. What do you guys think ?
only 1/3 of the federal government's budget is from income taxes...where does the rest come from? and hell no they can't afford it...oh wait, yeah they can, all they've gotta do is print it onto more paper :thumbsup:

Apparently, inflation and our national debt isn't any sort of concern of many americans for some reason...why, I have no idea..but we cannot afford to protect the borders of other countries...it will cost much less to protect ours here at home, and do so much more for the security of this nation.

I refuse to buy that countries with no army, navy, or air force is going to be any sort of threat to us without them hijacking another airplane, and I'm sorry, but our occupation in ANY country isn't going to keep some crazy son of a bitch from hijacking an airplane, that is if one is able to even manage to get something onto a plane...but when I see the baggage handlers with turbans on it makes me wonder :wtf:
