Plans for your "stimulus" check (vanity)

LiberConservative

[LiberConservative]

Just curious. What is everyone going to do with your new wealth you will be getting within the next couple of days?

[LiberConservative]

I'm RICH! I'm RICH! I just bought me a brand new set of tars for my car. Woo Hoo!!!

[Huntress]

Pay bills.

[The_Republican]

Not getting one.....you have to qualify first.

[proxy_user]

Yeah, they’re for those wimpy libs working a low-paid job, not us rich capitalist cons.

[Tennessee_Bob]

I’m going to use mine to live the AMerican dream. I’m buying Powerball Tickets and then after I win, I’m buying 5,000 acres in Wyoming.

[cyborg]

I wish I could get one. I owe taxes six hundred twenty something :( If I did get one, I’d buy a new ipod.

[cyborg]

LOL!

[Ken522]

I got one - they’re great!

[HighlyOpinionated]

Pay off outpatient hospital bill and bank the remainder in my savings account.

[SampleMan]

I won’t be getting a check. I’m too affluent. You are all welcome to send me my money back though.

[cyborg]

I know believe me. I cried when I was taking it out of it’s carrier and dropped it on the floor at work! WAAAAAAAH :o)

[cyborg]

[Mr_Moonlight]

Well, not exactly the *stimulus check*, but I got my Fed refund in the mail today ... whooo hoooo! Four hundred and Eight bucks ... yeppers, thats Four and a Zero and an Eight with a little dot afterwards and some 43 cents after that ... count 'em four hundred and eight smackeroos with 43 cents tagged on for good measure ..... four hundred and change of the big ones(!).... still staring at the check in disbelief!!!

WOW am I excited !!! Let the party begin ...........

[Lurker]

I just 'stimulated' the economy by buying that very pistol. This afternoon I'll be further stimulating economic activity, and my senses, by putting a couple of hundred rounds through it.

Fine choice there Jaxter.

[cyborg]

Hooray beer.

[sheana]

No stimulus check here....they must be for the ‘little people’..sniff sniff

[MaxMax]

Ten more .45ACP clips, five boxes of RBCD rounds, then beer and condoms.
Because a man must have priorities.

[politicket]

My family is going to stimulate our mortagage payments on our house.

Here's how I figure it:

We'll be getting about $1,500 of our own money back, which Jorge Bush wants us to run out and spend on a big screen television.

Instead, we're taking the whole amount and applying it as principal to our mortgage loan. That covers principal for about 4 months worth of payments, so we save about $6,000 in interest over the life of the loan.

That's an immediate 400% return on the money and stimulates our household economy quite nicely...

[socialismisinsidious]

Not getting one. You can thank me now.

[Greenpees]

Gonna sock it away in savings. Maybe as part of a CD or something. I didn’t need it anyway. We’re not rich, but we live well below our means

[politicket]

P.S.:

If the Fed's would have given us more money...say $10,000....then I would have taken the family on a car tour of the 57 states. </obama>

[DManA]

It’ll pay for about a quarter of my real estate taxes. It’ll help because my checking account was drained on April 15 when I paid my Federal and State income taxes due.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m going to blow it on filling the gas tank of my gas-powered Weedeater.

[cyborg]

Good one.

[swmobuffalo]

Already spent mine. On doctor bills.

[Farmer Dean]

I’m buying a case of Federal Gold Match .308 ammo.

[davisfh]

Have a family member who needs help. It will be going to her.

[cynwoody]

The stimulus checks are a great illustration of our leaders' stupidity.

Given that the goal was to create an economic stimulus by getting more money in consumers' hands, it would have been much smarter simply to reduce the FICA withholding rate a little. Immediately, everybody's take home rises. No several month delay. No expense to print and mail checks.

Yah, but that is logic ... and logic is the antithesis of what politicians do for their own power. If what you suggested actually applied, then politicians wouldn't be able to state in their (re)election campaigns: "I did THIS for YOU"

[RandallFlagg]

New roof.

[Lizavetta]

Not getting one.....you have to qualify first.

What are the qualifications?

And I know actually paying taxes isn't one of them because non payers from what I've heard will be getting more than those at the other end who paid hand over fist in taxes.

[carolinablonde]

Thanks to Pelosi & Co. I’m not getting one either. But I’m going to have a new deck built in my backyard anyway.

[raybbr]

I'm RICH! I'm RICH! I just bought me a brand new set of tars for my car. Woo Hoo!!!

Would you rather they kept it? Or, you could send it to me.

[McLynnan]

Maybe you could take it and just tour the extra seven states?

[carolinablonde]

That’s one of the qualifications - not making too much money.

[AppyPappy]

I’m drankin it all.

[lesser_satan]

I just bought me a brand new set of tars for my car.

Same here. My tires are shot and part of my stimulus check will be going toward the purchase of new ones. The rest will go into my savings account.

[proudtobeanamerican1]

Tires for my hubbies jeep and the May house housepayment.

[proudtobeanamerican1]

That wasn’t a typo....I’m making two housepayments!

[org.whodat]

Need some of them there tars fer de truck, but they cost to muk fur de ck.

[Sacajaweau]

Extra car payment!!

[MarkL]

I’ll be paying off my H&R Block bill ($500) and getting a steak dinner, and maybe a movie, and filling up the gas tank.

Yup. That’ll be right about $600.

Mark

[Marysecretary]

Goes on the credit card bill...sigh.

[Politicalmom]

Kroger is having a promotion, they add 10% onto gift cards of $300, $600, and $1200. I’ll be buying groceries, might as well
take advantage of it.

[Trajan88]

slated for Roth IRA (buying additional “shares” of Managers Fremont Bond (MBDFX)... [35% of my allocation of new moneys]

[A message]

Received my economic stimulus package( aka my hard earned cash that was taken via taxes) last Tuesday.

Plan to buy a camera for a vacation the wife and I are taking before Obama makes sure we are too poor to ever take another vacation again.

[MrsPatriot]

“Would you rather they kept it?”

I would rather they let me keep it in the first place.

I won’t be getting a check either; even if I was, it would only go back to them to pay the taxes I still owe for 2007. They take the money from me by force, then they spend more of my money printing checks to send back to someone else. Tax cuts are the only form of economic stimulus I am interested in!

[MrsPatriot]

Hey, Democrats . . . You’re not my spouse, stop spending MY money!
