Bush says rebates going out Monday should help economy

This is going to be like putting a band-aid on a gaping head wound.  I'm glad i'm getting something, don't get me wrong, i might even get a full tank of gas out of it, or pay my natural gas bill from February. :cry

Quit your whining, energy prices need to go up to spur exploration and keep my oil stock weighted  401k appreciating.

That's true enough. However, I wanna read the fine print on this deal. last time we got a check from the gov't. mid-year, it turned out to just be an "advance" on next years' return. All I did was have to take the same amount away from my return at the end of the year.

My brother sent me this. :)

"If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go
 to China. If we spend it on gasoline it will go to
 the Arabs, if we purchase a computer it will go to
 India, if we purchase fruit and vegetables it will
 go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, if we
 purchase a good car it will go to Japan, if we
 purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none
 of it will help the American economy.We need to keep
 that money here in America. The only way to keep
 that money here at home is to spend it at yard
 sales, since those are the only businesses still in
 the US."

The best American toy anymore is a dam rock or a block of wood with tacks and nails in it.
American Corporate CEOs/CFOs are there to grab money and run.
Telecom, Oil, Steel...prove the point.
American Greed.

For single filers, it's starts going down $50 for every $1000 in income. So you're out at $87K.

For couples, the phase-out begins at $150,000 and ends at $174,000.

And that's based on adjusted gross income not salary.

Post by: lazs2 on April 27, 2008, 09:54:36 AM
Yes..  it is adjusted gross income not what you made.   I squeaked by on the AG income thingie so will get $600.. on top of all the tax I already paid tho.. I had to pay another grand or so but...

I will get my car painted.  same color.. no jambs..  $1500 with three coats of UV protectorant clear by a custom painter lives near me.  We will see...  he claims 11 days start to finish but painters are the worst.

He says cause he is slow and.. my car is very straight and rust free.  I don't need the bed done either and it has a vinyl top.   we will see...  be nice tho.. the car has needed paint for years.
