$300+ from Uncle Sam

So it looks like it is official now. Anyone making between $3000 and $75000 will be getting between $300 and $1200+ back from the government as a tax rebate. Uncle sugar to the rescue.
Under the plan, as many as 117 million people would get rebate checks. Individual income tax filers would receive up to $600, working couples would get up to $1,200, and those with children would get an additional $300 per child.

By this plan I should be getting $600. I plan on stimulating the economy by adding this money to my new computer fund.

    I'll probably have something to contribute to another thread once mine goes through.

    I guess I'll be getting $300 which I feel slightly bad about taking since I didn't pay into taxes at all for the last year.

    On the bright side the money will most likely go to rescuing a cat from the pet shelter.

    It should be noted that, as far as I've heard, the checks probably won't start going out until June. So, don't spend the money yet.

    This still has to pass through the Senate and House, doesn't it? Doesn't sound like there'll be much hold-up, though.

    Me and mind should be getting about $1800. Hello, new HDTV.

    It's nice to know that blowing a bunch of money on frivolous electronics will be for such a good cause.

    Seriously, though, I expect this to not help things much at all. The problems with our economy are deeper than folks not spending enough. Maybe our economic stimulus package should include new houses for folks, instead.
