Now you know why we work and they don't. And most of us aren't going to see one dime of this stimulus package and if you do get anything thing, it won't amount to diddly squat.

As far as the stimulus goes, I'll never see a penny of it. Most everyone I work with think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Me - I'm starting to think that the Mayans may be right.
I used last years $300 check to pay for summer classes - Couldn't think of a better use for it.

This year's version does not come in a one time check. You will have less money taken out of your paycheck for taxes starting in a couple of months -- unless you make more than $250,000 per year.

Another way to look at it is, the 787 billion stimulus divided by 300 million Americans, will cost each of us about $2600 each. I know I'll never get my share back because we are putting this on a credit card and once the interest is added over time.... YIKES
Our government can't keep promising us all free ice cream if we vote for them. At some point, someone has to say, we need to look at EVERY program on the books and start from scratch. When a state has a commission on commissions, something is just wrong!
The spreading of the wealth in this country needs to be done by the businessmen, not the government - that being said, I think our legislators need to use the carrot that if our companies take care of their employees, they will not use the stick when the government has to step in and do what they are unwilling to do. No CEO is worth a lottery check every year. If companies spread some of the executive income amongst the workers, the total payroll dollars could still be the same and not affect the shareholders one bit.
