    I was expecting $600.00 as advertised and got half that- typical Washington hype.
    I figure 3 fillups in my SUV and a large package of Charmin 2 ply.

    Ok boys FESS UP- HOW MUCH AND FOR WHAT?

    :eek:
     
  2. Heh...here's something hilarious...

    I wasn't supposed to qualify for any rebate check (salary too high) yet because I only lived in Puerto Rico for a few months in '07, but paid full '06 taxes, Puerto Rico sent me a $1200 check for economic stimulus.

    Got $1,200 (wife's share included) but I feel a little dirty and un-American, I didn't spend it, I put it in the bank. :eek:

  5. so how exactly is borrowing money from china
    and also spending our money on china(walmart) suppose to
    help our economy
    Come april and we have to pay it back
    It would make more sense to just burn the
    check
     
  6. I'm last on the mailing list so I don't get mine until middle of July.

    The damn $600 will just cover part of the quarterly tax check I had to send on June 15th.
     
  7. Got $600. Deposited to my savings account.
     
  8. I don't get one

    $1200.00. Just about covers what fed inspired inflation stole from my savings last year.
