Bush says rebates going out Monday will boost economy
Bush says rebates going out Monday will boost economy
4/25/08
Quote:
WASHINGTON - President Bush said tax rebates will start going out Monday, earlier than previously announced, and should help Americans cope with rising gasoline and food prices, as well as aid a slumping economy.

Democrats said they were glad the rebate checks were about to go out, but suggested that multinational oil companies were not among the businesses the stimulus package was originally designed to help.
"Starting Monday, the effects of the stimulus will begin to reach millions of households across our country," Bush said Friday in remarks on the South Lawn of the White House.

Those first rebates will be directly deposited into people's bank accounts. The Internal Revenue Service had been saying direct deposits wouldn't start until next Friday. Bush said paper checks would begin going out on May 9, a week earlier than previously announced. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080426/...VfCwkxRK6s0NUE

It will be a temp boost at best. Not a slam on Bush but seriously once the 300 or 600 is spent then what?? I can't see long term jobs created over a small check.

If your "tab" is over $600, perhaps you should pay for your drinks in cash (like the rest of us) or find a good 12-Step program.
