Does anybody remember Joe the Plumber episode? Yeah that guy! How many here thought $15/week was a make or break deal for a $280K business under Obama? Then I guess you should consider $13/week a big deal... unless you're a hypocrite or $2/week is a huge deal.

You could get a subscription from Sirius for less than that and save it and its employees from bankruptcy and save the rest of us from having to go back to 44 minutes of commercials every hour of FM radio!
I see that Sen. Reid is giddy that he has provided "tax relief" of $13 per week to help stimulate the economy.
What will you buy for $13 a week to help stimulate the economy and create jobs? (and saying you'll save it to pay for for the future huge tax increases is cheating)
I would get some red wine, the middle priced box wine!
Whatever you do with it, it becomes a bit of new demand and demand is what creates jobs. The idea here is for what you get NOT to be big enough for you to be tempted to save it. It should be small enough that it just sort of blends in and gets spent. If you had say 125 million taxpayers each spending $13 extra per week, that would work out to pretty close to $85 billion worth of new stimulus per year. That's not chicken feed...and it doesn't count what the people you give your $13 to do once they get their hands on the money. Maybe they'll go stimulate something too...
You understand this is a rebate - or a gift most likely. Right? There is no tax on $0.00.
I was being punchy...I won't qualify for anything anyway because of AGI restrictions. I guess I could start a thread titled "What are you going to do with my $13 every week?"

Got that, for the wife's car, renewed for a year just last month, thus the need for the beer.
I don't have to be entertained, thus the radio/cd in the truck is almost never turned on.
