500 is a joke considering that if our national debt was distributed evenly each and every person would owe around 30 grand.....


If you ask me those checks should have a clause that they are only good for buying AMERICAN products made IN AMERICA by companies that SUPPORT AMERICAN MANUFACTURING....

I think i am ranting. tooo much coffee.

You will get $600 ($1200 if married) back but you will owe $600/$1200 back later... It's a loan or a "refund advance" on your refund for 2008... nothing more...except that it will make your refund for 2008 in 2009 $600/1200 less....

I guess allot of people forgot how the last one worked. FYI... according to the information i heard my son who is 6 years old will be getting $300 back... then I will have to file the tax rebate form for him and send back $300 because he wasn't entitled to a rebate.

Yeah, you are right. I was working credit card fraud with a government agency and we were concentrating on the Chase cards that were handed out.

Over 70% of the purchases were for non-essential items. Mostly cigs and booze and, oh yeah, trips to casinos
