Many people remember the $600 or $1200 dollar stimulus rebate they got from President Bush. They were expecting more from Barack Obama. They were wrong. The Democratic stimulus bill before the Senate only gives individuals a maximum of $10 a week more in take home pay. Joint filers can get a maximum of $20. That is $500 per individual and $1000 per family spread over one year. Some low end and high end wage earners won't even get that much.

Why?
Oh geeze I’ll make you dinner. I could use the money. LOL
Hey thats 40 bucks a month...I could take a date to the pizza prlor down the street that has 99 cent beer and chow down once a month. Well Obama said he was gonna make government “cool”.
>>I think I will spend my ten dollars at McDonald’s.
How awful! You can’t use that to support Big Food!!!! You need to use it on the local mom and pop stores. So figure on a single 50 count set of napkins, 1 40 of Malt Liquor and a 4-pack of Pampers for your dime.
Are you going to have a McRibb?
Might as well have some pork with your pork!
Well lets see....
A trillion dollars divided by the 40 million people who actually pay any taxes = $25,000 cost per tax payer.
In exchange I get $10 a week back?
Yeah, that’s about right for a Democratic program.
For the record, my wife and I would just get our $50,000 in cash.
And the little skinny runt puts crooks in office.
What was the amount the Democrats estimated the average American family would save when the price of gasoline fell due to drilling in ANWR and the outer continental shelf? Remember? The amount that they said was “insignificant.”
No 72 inch BFLCDTV???? :-(
“And the little skinny runt puts crooks in office.”
With Republican Senators helping to vote them in. I guess they don’t want to be called racists, so they side with traitors bent on destroying the Republic.
I never got a check. I didn't want a check and hope that the one that got it..had a ball!
I want my $93,000 a year cover my expenses. $10 a week is $520 a year? The royals of Congress think they are worth way more than that. We get $520 a year, they get $93,000 a year? And it all comes out of the same pocket....which ain't their pocket!
I’ll have to save up a long time to buy that muffler at $10 bucks a week. Or maybe Michelle could fork over to me the the cash she would use on earrings.
The “stimulus” check doesn’t effect your refund.
What they are doing with the stimulus package is shameful. With the current stimulus package the Democrats are condemning future generations to fiscal slavery. SHAME ON THEM!
Little on and off topic:
People are driving less, better mileage vehicles, gas prices dropped...so my state govt. just implemented higher toll rates which started today. If you pay ahead or upfront with an EZPass you can still go through for $.60 (the cheaper booths); but if you pay with..yes..CASH, it will now cost $1.00 in that scenario. Being a more rural state and many parts a much poorer state than most, 39th in population..will hurt those that do not have credit cards, or live bare bones minimum. The back roads will see heavier traffic. They figured would get the tourists, but being Govt idiots they do not realize that vacationers south of us already have the EZPass as more highways whence they come ..Thus, hits the poorer in state families, small business etc. I had 18-wheelers lined up behind me. The lady in front of me did not have a $1.00, so as the line grew while the attendant took a picture of her license plates and they passed back and forth papers..when I think I have seen it all!!!
Make mine Subway.
