... that totally didn't belong to me in the first place.
The stimulus/tax rebate deal has been approved. I look forward to helping spend our country out of a recession without contributing to any consequences whatsoever.
Maybe I'll cut out the middle man and just send this rebate check directly to China.
UPDATE: It occurred to me last night, and to one of the commenters, that I have not been clear. So, my points:
1. It ain't free money, it's taxpayer money.
2. I hope this works and jump starts the economy.
3. I really hope it's not in lieu of addressing the long-term issues in our economy, particularly the fact that much of our massive debt is held by China, Japan and the people we buy oil from.

I will be forwarding mine to the lovely Lenovo Company in China.
Speaking of Free Money, the GDOT, Good Ole Boy money tree has been chopped down as of last night and a few middle aged thingys got caught in the new and improved GDOT guillotine in the process.
GDOT Commissioner Dr Gena Abraham caught some good ole boys with their pants down last night and my favorite Mid-Ga Rep, Allen Peake was sitting right in the middle of them. I bet he regrets sneaking off to GDOT with Charlie and Elmo to do backroom wheelin and dealing with EX, praise the Lord, GDOT Commissioner Linnenkohl. The way it looks now, they could have all ended up in the Hokey without their Pokeys:

“(1/23/08) Gena Abraham made her first appearance as DOT commissioner Wednesday before the joint House and Senate Appropriations Committee, and faced hot questioning about why she cancelled a local road project her predecessor had approved.
“I LOVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN GEORGIA, BUT I DON’T LOVE ANYONE ENOUGH TO GO TO JAIL FOR THEM,” she said, arguing that in the past, the agency over-promised what it could deliver to local governments in a given year, hoping many of them wouldn’t acquire the necessary right of way in time to ask for the bucks. “I HAVE TO HAVE THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO SIGN A CONTRACT,” she said.”
oh how the times they are a changin boyz…
How do you figure it was free money that never belonged to you in the first place? If you pay taxes, then it was your money--money that the government was collecting interest on and money that they obviously don't need in the first place so why don't they cut taxes so they don't collect so much of our money. In addition, why are they giving people who pay no taxes $300 each, how do they deserve that? That is my money paid in.
Tina - I love you (assuming you're the Tina I know and love), but that's sarcasm, my dear.
My points, which were perhaps not well made:
1. It ain't free money, it's taxpayer money.
2. I hope this works and jumpstarts the economy.
3. I really hope it's not in lieu of addressing the long-term issues in our economy, such as so much of our massive debt being held by China, Japan and the people we buy oil from.
