In this epsoide, the current president, President Nixion gives away $300 or a “Tricky-Dick Fun Bill” as a tax rebate. Now this episode was created in conjunction with the idea from Preside George W. Bush, giving away $300 in 2001. Now once again, our Preside Bush is giving away a $600 rebate in 2008. Nine years later to help boost the economy and hoping Americans would go out right away and spend the money.
I wanted to write this blog just to show how stupid American's can really be. I am still in the process of searching for some information on what American's are going to spend their $600 rebate on. So if you have an idea post it below in comments. I would like to know what America is spending.
Now for the gloomy news. I know and many Americans know that our outlook is headed towards a recession. Look at our gas prices, housing, economic downfall. I retrieved this image from CNN's Webpage. Mind you this story was written in January 18, 2008.
Lets read what people had to say on this story
"The US economy is in a downward spiral. I lost not one, but two state jobs, one full time, one part time due to budget restraints and found out about it one day before my return from unpaid family medical leave act leave after having a baby. This is serious. I think we will see families gathering together under one roof. The rich keep getting richer and the ‘middle class and poor’ keep getting poorer. All I can say is “Save, Save, Save” any penny you can."

This is very frightening. I have begun stocking my basement with bottled water, canned food, whiskey, toilet paper and cigarettes. I cannot sleep at night. God help us all.

I definitely believe we are in a recession. I think most of the recession is due to high oil prices. I am considered a middle class citizen with a family of 4. The price at the pump and our fuel bill has drained us of any extra spending money. It makes me laugh when I hear people say they have to gain consumers confidence so we will start spending our money and boost the economy. Are they under the impression that we have extra money lying around that we are hording? Trust me we don’t, the middle class is being striped of any extra cash and we are now just trying to make ends meet. Lower the gas and fuel prices and maybe the economy might recover.

Sorry Mr. President. Your country looks a big gloomy now. For everyone that reads this, please use that $600 to pay your credit cards, use it to pay your savings, use it to pay your debt. Whatever you do with the $600, do not spend it. Pay off your hospital bills, pay off your loans. Do not spend it!!!
