But we have a mortgage, and it's calling to the ol' check book as well. Seems like it would be a better use of our nation's leaders' time to look into oil/gas prices, and other rising energy costs. Because it still seems like if anyone's making money hand over fist, it's the oil companies. (Yet gas prices are rising faster than ever...) I really, REALLY want to save mine.

If we get one we'll use it to purchase food storage and emergency prepardness stuff, since we're all cheerfully preparing for a recession. Fun, no?

It would be way smarter to pay down our national debt. And the income limit is too low here in NYC...our garbage men make $80K w/ overtime. and most of them are working paycheck to paycheck unfortunately. We're probably not getting a rebate as are very few of my neighbors--and we can all use it...KWIM? With friendship, Lisa I just don’t get it why they are giving out these rebates.
