    i have to agree with the fact that this "stimulus" is just increasing our debt.....doesn't mean i'm not going to use it to my benefit (paying off credit card debt)......

    I'm not saying that I will not use it. That money is already spent on my summer vacation.

    The only thing Congress accomplished with this stimulus package was to push this country further into debt.

    Yep...as I said before, its the same as taking a cash advance on a credit card...its money in your pocket, but there are high fees and interest attached!

    LOL! I am not sure a a budbuster is - but I don't like the sound of it.

    A weed eater is a grass trimmer or brush cutter like: http://www.stihlusa.com/trimmers/FS55R.html

    this isnt free money. You will owe more taxes next year. Consider it an advance on next year's tax return.

    Unless you owe, in which case, youll owe more.
