The Government Wishes to Employ your Id or "Free Money"

Yes, the Government wants YOU to go buy some crap you don't need. They want you to buy something so bad they're even going to send you a check to do it. Their hope is that by funding your impulse buys, the economy will be jump started. Whatever their reasoning, this is cool by me.

I'm still having trouble grasping the full impacts of this stimulus plan but I'll leave the worrying for someone else, I just want to get that check so I can get an iPhone.

I was pleased to see the Dem's willingness to curb increases in welfare spending. I suppose this is the ultimate, stealing from the poor who were given money by the ones who stole from the rich to give it to them (think about it for just a second, read it again if you must, but it makes sense), play. Once again I am reminded that I need to finish the book Ivanhoe.

So I'm thinking iPhone, perhaps a Playstation 3, maybe a video camera.

What are you gonna get? And don't tell me put it in savings, after all, thats not what this is for!

Um do 401Ks count as frivolous spending? Otherwise, I'll probably spend it on paying my heating bill

I think they had you in mind when the rebate was designed. Ger that iPhone!

Me? As much as I'd like a nice new Gibson ES 139 or one of those skinny little MacBooks, I will probably need to use the rebate to catch up on the bills.
