WOW an extra $13.00 a week !!!
 

Wow, what is everyone going to do with the extra $13.00 were getting a week in our paychecks?? He really backed up his word on giving us tax breaks...

I think i'll wait for two weeks and get enough money for a 30 pack of beer... and just get drunk one night.... :p sounds like a good plan to me!!!

I obviously must not be paying as much attention. We're getting money? Why? I kind of like your 'drunk' idea. I sure need to escape somehow.

yep Janet a big whole extra 13.00 per pay, from your wonderful President Obama, that promised us " tax breaks", this is it girl, this is our tax break....
Yep you think i could get drunk on $13.00... hummm have to think about this... have to buy a bottle of cheap whiskey maybe, that's not enough for a 30 pak!! ha ha.....

Here it is Janet, its in the stimulas package:
Put an extra $13 a week in many workers' paychecks under a "Making Work Pay" tax credit due to start in June and to total $400 a year for individuals, or $800 for couples. The credit phases out for those who earn $75,000 or more.

Thanks Haley....wow...now I need to decide what cruise I want to take....LOLOLOL

shoot Janet, i'm going on welfare, you should see what they got.... i'll be 300lbs by next year, but i'll be eating better than i do now, i can't even afford lunches now..

im still buying my 30 pak of beer - i need a good drunk...:p:p

I don't think that Obama can do enough as far as putting money into our economy to help us. We had the extra money last year and did any of you notice that it helped our economy? It's like putting a band-aid on a volcano!!

instead of this "spending package" on the most dumbest stuff i ever heard of, he should have giving every "working person" a check for 100,000 and that would have stimulated the economy.. people would have paid there houses off, got a vechicle, and paid off some cc. but no one would listen to me :(

Some of us appreciate the new president and what he and congress might be doing to help the economy. What may seem miniscule to some, may actually help in the long run. Who knows. I sure don't. What I do know is that policies of the past (both recent and distant past) got us into this mess and I am willing to let the new administration work on solving it. I also know it won't be solved in the short run.

I know we all do not agree on politics and I respect that disagreement, I hope you'll do the same.

Ditto

Your right Diana, its not going to help, he needs to cut taxes,,,, that will work...

Tax cuts haven't worked in the past........... just sayin'. That's trickle down from the past and it was not successful.

spending packages didn't work in the past either, just ask China... they tried to, they cut taxes and wow it worked...

Haley, you and I are not going to agree about this, there are valid arguments on both sides of the issue. If tax cuts won't work and stimulus spending won't work, well then we are both in for a long long painful decline.


Here is a good article that presents a layman's view of both.
