If they give $100 gas rebate checks.........

[Stryguy]

If they give me a $100 gas rebate check they aren't actually giving anything are they? The country is in the red so they would have to borrow the money from someplace and thus would have to pay it back.. with interest... with your future tax money.

So by all logic it would be a $100 loan wouldn't it? Since inevitably I would have to pay it back when a responsible administration was in the whitehouse.

Simple enough. If you pay me $50 a month to live in my house. I decide to give you $10 back one month but borrow that money from a different friend. Then later require you to pay $55 a month for several months so I can pay back that friend I owe. Did you actually get anything at all?

Besides screwed I mean.

1. worse even, they stuck alaska oil drilling in the bill with the 100.00.

Read it yesterday, can't remember where, but it was a fact, not an opinion.

4. Here you go

I just posted on another thread

Lets get this straight. Take the $100 right from your kids and grandkids. HOW much more will they be able to afford. China is going to start charging more for the eggrolls

2. It's the patrician bourgeois mentality towards the help. Throw them

some crumbs and they will be grateful and won't notice the walls crashing in around them. They are simply trying to buy people off.

This is not sound policy. We need energy, economic, and national policies to lead this country out of the train wreck that it seems to be heading for.

on edit: sp. grammar - :dunce: :dunce:

3. That's why buying Savings Bonds with it makes sense if you think about it.

6. I like my idea better. If the GOP insists on adding this bribe to deficit

give it to worthy DEM candidates and get some decent people on the Hill!

They gave us $300 in 2001. I guess they think we can bought off cheaper this time?? :sarcasm:

7. A great idea by iconoclastic cat

Send it to Howard Dean at the DNC. Can you imagine what 5MM $100 checks could do? We could run a $500MM ad campaign and fund all candidates. No special interest monies involved. I like this...

9. They can stick the $100 up their tailpipes. It's an insult.

They offer peanuts while they grab billions.

Screw the whole lousy bunch.
