Government Rebate
$600. While I'm not complaining they're giving us something, I have my doubts about this. First, since it's from the government, it means it's our money in the first place. In other words, instead of paying a few grand in taxes, I'll be paying a few grand minus 600. And while $600 seems like a pretty good chunk of change, it isn't really that big. Basically I'll just use it to make a teeny-tiny dent in my existing bills.
The other thing is that this is going to add yet another bill to the government's bank account. Of course, the USofA is so far in debt, what's another few billion dollars among friends. And if the USofA doesn't show any financial responsibility why should its citizens. So, we have 100,000+ mortgages failing, gas prices that seem to go up 10% a week, flour that has tripled in price in a year, and new jobs falling through the floor; yep, $600 will let me sleep better.
