Well it looks like it passed the house, but still needs to go to the senate. The article I read made no mention as to when that would be, but that the plan could be altered significantly...

[Fat Tony]

why does it need to go back to the senate? it passed the senate last week... our government is almost impotent sometimes..

[partobe]

pay for stuff Ive already bought (MH)

[ScruffyRubicon]

You stay at home mom's will be included, if you file jointly. Plus the $300 per child. Hopefully the senate doesn't drop the amount down. They are talking like it might drop to $1000 per couple/$500 individual and then the child credit as well.

[Gilraen Took]

Wait, the LESS you make the more you GET? Cool! That'd mean I'd get the entire $600 ^_^ Or at least I'd hope they'd give someone making less than $10,000/year all of that XD

I think I may put it away for the tank I was going to ask a question about making in here ^_^

edit. oops, a second late! Well, $500 would still be amazing!

well, Initially I didn't qualify, but now it looks like it will be tied up in political wrangling: the Democrats want to delay it hoping they will have a Demotratic President in the White House in November (and they do not want to boost the Republican candidate with gratuity votes by passing it prior to the election); the Republicans want it now for the obvious "just-in-case", and what a boost it would be for the Republican party in November if it were to pass before the election...

I think I'll skip getting something for my tank and get my tattoo sleeve finished

If it does pass, but the bush tax cuts are not made permanent you will be paying it back in higher taxes in 2010 any way!! The idea behind this package is for people to spend money on products, not to pay down debt. If everyone uses it to pay bills it will be a big flop.

I figure if you use it to pay down debt, then you will have more money to spend.

The idea is to put money back into the economy immediatly. If you use it to pay down debt that money is not put directly into the economy like a new purchase.
