Federal government economic stimulus deal: How will you spend your rebate check?

by Gary C. Gibson

Created on: January 31, 2008

If I had received a federal stimulus check in this fiscal year (if it was issued it was lost in the mail) I would have used it to pay taxes. My 2008 tax bill turned out to be two-hundred dollars higher than my taxable income, and I had written to the I.R.S. when I filed my 2008 tax return and asked them to pay down the debt-evidently they ignored that and lost the tax rebate so that the people might have something to pay interest on regardless of where the principal loaned 300 dollars actually went. If the check one day arrives after being returned to the government and maybe reissued (I am skeptical about that) if I haven't got another tax bill increase to pay I may use it to buy a gallon of gas as an investment perhaps being able to sell it later for a profit.

I needed to revise this article learning that congress would give the poor taxpayers just three hundred dollars in this gift of a foreign loan that the people will need to repay in blood, sweat and tears (well someone will probably cry about it somewhere). I will count the three hundred dollars that likely will not find its way to me as a travel around doing work in locations where the labor market isn't saturated by illegal aliens as a meaningful symbol from the U.S. Government regarding its incompetence at fundamental economics that would make the nation free of globalist takeover. Oh well-to return to my prior article on my interest in free money...

I had to pay a 550 tax last year on a poverty level income, so I hope the I.R.S. applies the proposed 500 dollar rebate to my 2008 tax bill that should be about the same. The idea of borrowing money to make up the deficit caused by a 'rebate' from a federal budget with trillions of dollars of debt and a current 2007 vast deficit paid for by foreign lenders is amusingly stupid anyway. No amount of 'stupidity stimulus' can make up for a corrupt ans wastrel maint. government policy outsourcing jobs, flooding the country with cheap laborers and selling out American real estate to foreign investors. I will probably spend my 'spiritual rebate' on blogging on the internet to help build democracy, protect against corporatism and create a more environmentally activist national political economic policy...here are some of my current ideas funded with this 'spiritual rebate'.

1) So I will add my own Kenyan peace plan as a follow up to O'Bombers intervention-does he know which tribal alliance his father was with-is he taking sides with the Kikuyu or the Odinga faction?
