What would you and your partner do with $1600.00?

[Mermaidman]

Uncle Sam gives you $1600.00. What will you do with it?

For us, it'll cover the cost of one month's mortgage and utilities . . . Or I could buy lots of cheap Chinese-made goods

edit: Just to clarify--This is the recently-proposed tax rebate, not a tax refund.
edit2: Now down to $600/$1200, but still a hot deal

Tax refund?

If so, that's not being given to you from the government. That's the government repaying you for the zero-interest loan you gave them over the course of the last year.

I would feed all the starving folks in Africa, and stop all the world's wars, and would start an literacy program for the poor that would give every poor kid 150 books to read.

 

[Jschmuck2]

I don't think I'll be getting one.

I'd question where the government is getting this $1600 to give to me... chances are, it's my money to begin with.

They're loaning us money to buy their crap. Win-win (for them).

 

[Slew Foot]

Bush can stimulate my package whenever he wants















j/k ewww

 

[Linflas]

I think we'll just bank it, if for no other reason, just to not act like a sheep and do the little spending spree they seem convinced we'll do.

 

[BigDH01]

Buying Euros.

Oh, I heard about this yesterday. I would prefer it if the gov't just got the hell out of people's way instead of trying to encourage spending spending spending.
