What are you going to do with your "tax rebate"

[TUalum0982]

I didn't see a topic for this so I thought I would start one.  I am personally going to use it to pay off a few things.  I would assume most people are going to go out and spend it which is what they want you to do, but there are many people with a ton of debt.

It'll probably just go into my savings account for a "rainy day".

I am going to put it in the bank.

I think the banks NEED people to give them their cash.

It'll be going to debt, unfortunately.  

I'd LOVE to be a good American and buy a flat screen tv with it, but unfortunately the terrorists will win this time.

I plan to invest in some lottery tickets. It is the least I can do to help the schools. I was thinking of also buying some of the local brewed beer that should be out about the same time I receive the check. If the dates work, I plan to also buy some corndogs and turkey legs at Mayfest.

The rest I will just blow on non-essential stuff.

I'm thinking of visiting St. Augustine or Key West, perhaps both.

Maybe I will send part of the refund to Mr Rice.  Good Idea here FOTD.

I'm going to get a new backyard fence and some new backyard lawn furniture.

That makes two of us, (and millions more.)  This rebate plan is just pure political pandering and will do very little to stimulate the economy.  Only time, the passing of normal economic cycles, and seriously reducing the U.S. national debt will have any major long-term impact.

In fact, this "stimulus rebate" will only add to the national debt and further increase the burden and likelihood of real economic depression, on future generations.  But what do we care today, we will be dead so just let our decendants worry about it.

I don't understand.  Why don't you get free money like everyone else?
