Tell the truth, bunch of lying motherfucking bastards

[Hugabear]

When you hand out these checks to everyone, whether it's $300 or $1200, there should be a bold disclaimer on the check: By signing and cashing this check, you agree to repay this amount in full next year when you file your tax return

Anything less is deceiving the American public, many of whom will simply assume this is "free money" from DC.

[rateyes]

1. Congress? The pREsident? Tell the truth?

BWAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAA. :rofl:

Oh, wait, I should be crying. :cry:

Damn, these jokers are making me bi-polar.

2. So--they're loaning me a loan I don't want? In the hopes that I'll be so giddy

over an unexpected check that I'll blow it on some stupid crap from China? What an awesome country we live in. :eyes:

[Hutzpa]

14. Well, you HAVE been blowing China

so they do expect you to keep blowing China when you receive the check.

3. This Make My Blood BOIL!

I hate stuff like this.

I hate it when the government treats me like an ignorant little child.

Bush sucks.

4. I have an idea: Let´s all buy Euro or Yen with the checks!!

[Hugabear]

5. Might be a good idea to buy gold

Or perhaps a one-way ticket to Sweden...

[WinkyDink]

6. Is this the fact? Because I'm glad I found out!

[librechik]

7. yes--when they first pulled this trick back in 02, SO MANY folks never believed it was a loan

from next year's tax return. Until tax time came.

Ha ha !

Try to talk them into the same thing this time. I wonder if they'll figure it out, even after experiencing it before...

[elizfeelinggreat]

8. fool me once

The crowd that can't finish that saying is the same crowd that will be fooled again. (Then they'll blame the Democrats in office at the time they figure out what's going on)

[Hugabear]

9. People don't learn from their mistakes

How else do you explain so many people voting for * twice?

[CoffeeCat]

10. So....on next year's tax return...

...is it considered income, that is taxed? Is the situation that we'll
end up paying taxes on this?

OR...

...when we file our returns, do we subtract the amount of our check from any
return we'd be getting?

[Hugabear]

11. I think it's the second one

I'm sure there will be a line that asks something like "Did you receive any money as part of the economic stimulus package".

[A wise Man]

16. You don't have to do a thing...

...They will deduct it from any refunds you are to receive, and if you owe anything they will charge you the amount extra.

[CoffeeCat]

18. So, it is a LOAN!!!

Those scoundrels!!!!

[TheUniverse]

12. free money for us, debt for our children...

[KansDem]

13. If I receive such a check for that amount, I'm paying off a credit card...

Thereby denying one of Bush's base any more interest payments!d }(

[Ganja Ninja]

15. No! They'll take it out whether you sign and cash it or not.

You better get it while you can.

[maxrandb]

17. Bet they still have "From Austin TX

Prominently printed on them.
