Considering that there are just over 6.6 billion people currently inhabiting the WORLD, and Congress just passed the new $787 BILLION stimulus package, I had to ask myself one simple question... where is my piece????
So here is how we will immediately see some of this money trickle down to us common folk directly:
- First-time home buyers will recieve an $8000 tax credit that doesn't have to be repaid like the current $7500 credit currently does.
- $400 to $800 in tax credits ($400 for singles and $800 for married couples)** This is equivalent to a $500 salary increase or $8 a week for the average tax payer! (Woo Hoo for consumer spending!!!)
I have a solution: Give us all a BILLION! (That may not work, but hey... its a suggestion!)
Is this what will stimulate the economy and get us back on track?
