So let me get this straight, and someone can correct me if I am wrong, but after years of tax cuts and massive budget defecits the US economy is tanking (after years of economic growth). So in response to the tanking economy they decide to cut taxes even more?

the us economy isnt tanking because of tax cuts. (as you are suggesting).
its because bush and the banks decided to loan billions of dollars to people who couldnt pay it back.

Yes.....some say it will stimulate the economy, however, its obviously an election year ploy to make people feel good about the govt.
Let me understand this. $145 Million, roughly half of A-Rod's contract is going to pull the entire country out of a recession that's been 8 years in the making? How can anyone argue with this brilliant plan?
I wonder what govt programs they will cut in order to fund the rebate? Most govt programs help low income individuals, so in the long run, they will suffer, while the higher income people who use less govt services are the ones who truly benefit.
I am curious about this as well. Does anyone know where the money is coming from?
Here's a brilliant idea.. how about instead of protesting by ripping up your own earned money, you actually put the money to a good cause. You rip up your check and the government will just have extra money for war. People here should be demading just about all their taxes back by this point, since the government seems to spend our money for its own interests.

Thats 148 Billion with a B... otherwise we'd all be getting 50 cents back.

Its not really our earned money....its like the govt is taking a huge cash advance (getting into more debt) for a fun night of partying. Eventually, we will all sober up and have a mother of a hangover!

I knew something was wrong with those numbers. I just got home and seen the proposal. It's still not the answer but it's a hell of an improvement over 50 cents a person. Then again when the National Debt doubles in the next 5 years and were all working for minimun wage I'll probably be wishing it was 50 cents.
how much of the GDP do you think the government uses for the war? Well if we spent $100 Billion on the War we only spend a little less 1% of the US $13trillion dollar GDP so this money no matter what you say was probably not going to the war.

its close to 10% of gdp. which is ridiculous. based on that fact alone it needs to stop.

not disagreeing but saying all of our taxes are being used to be spent on the war is a little silly

the sad part is the next step is most likely some sort of bailout of the housing sector with tax payer money. so if you didn't over extend yourself over the past few years....you're fucked

If you spend all your money in Mexico, it will be spent here eventually (probably at the outlet malls of some southwestern state).
At least, until we finish erecting the border fence.
Considering that immigrants send billions back to their families in Mexico every year, I find it difficult to fathom how or why those families would then take a trip to southwestern US outlet mall to spend that money.
Also, the border fence is a joke. Even if it is built, it won't have an impact on illegal immigration.
some people on this thread don't seem to fully grasp the concept of taxation, nor do they seem to boast even a rudimentary grasp of economics.

an election year ploy? you know bush isnt running again right..
But if all the other taxs cuts he has made have not stimulated the economy why would anyone think this one will?

I think we had to with the last one in 2001(I think it was.)
How would people know that? Many people here don't seem to acknowledge where it came from in the first place.
what do you mean? I'm confuseled. It sounds like you are just restating my question.
Yes, but the Republicans are running!
There are a lot of unrealistic people in the lower 48!
that is kind of funny if you think about it.

haha um yes there are. thats kinda how it works. this has nothing to do with the election. sorry.

In your case, it would be self-incriminating.
