since when is it the duty of the Government to pay for someone’s mortage. I think this is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Mark Levin was talking about this yesterday.

Actually it doesn’t make any sense.  Not that you would agree.

Research shows that Americans who have the chance to act responsibly today, will, over the choice to spread responsibility out over time.

In other words.  If you give people a bigger pay check, they will spend that accordingly and simply extend living beyond their means to a new level, but still live beyond their needs.

Giving people a lump sum on occasion will usually result in a more responsible act of paying off loans or debt.  That, in turn, encourages them to obtain better finance rates, which in turn creates more responsible spending.

But why bother caring about that?

I am using the check to pay my taxes. Now that is ironic.

That is actually a good example of what I am talking about Mickey. 

Many people get themselves in a situation where they either dont claim the proper amount of dependents, or live to the point where they are living paycheck to paycheck.

Giving people more of their money by taxing less isn’t going to magically make them more financially responsible, most Americans who get more money over a longer period of time will simply buy a bigger car, house, dog or whatever they are doing that prevents them from doing the responsible thing.....over time.

But, when you get a lump sum....most Americans will spend it responsibly.  This can reduce debt, decrease finance rates and give them a better chance to buy other things with better finance rates and a build more debt until their next lump sum comes in to help pay it off.

I think Pelosi is right.

Giving people a lump sum on occasion will usually result in a more responsible act of paying off loans or debt.

Uh, where in the Constitution does it assign to the government the task of being the responsibilty police?  You’re actually making the case that since I won’t spend a permanent tax cut the way YOU think I ought, I shouldn’t get one?  How egalitarian of you.

America wasn’t founded so we could all become better.  America was founded so we could all become whatever we damn well please.

On the one hand, the lefties continually whine that we are a “consumer society” that doesn’t save enough and that incurs too much debt, but when we save the money and pay down our debts, that’s no good, either.

Lefties lie; it’s all they have.

butt I digress

Heehee, he said ‘digress.’

All the money goes in the same household pot.  So really, everyone with a job is using it to pay taxes.  Sorry, bit of irony got stuck in my throat. 

The people with bad spending habits get to a freebie to do it more.  A few people can do responsible things with it (cough, fix cars) and they get villified in the press. Sigh.

But, when you get a lump sum....most Americans will spend it responsibly.

Hannitized, I disagree and my opinion is backed up with several decades of Lotto winner data.  I think a single payback might be wrongheaded but multiples . . . bad idea… words fail me.  Pictures of Government and piglets lining up to suckle come to mind… I apologize for my lack of coherency but I hope I’ve communicated my feelings.

FOTW & Hannitized:  Who care how they spend it.  It’s THEIR money!  If the Government can give it back, WHY was it taken in the first place?

"Here lies, in honored glory, an American soldier, known but to God.”

THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT TWO THINGS: WINNING THE WAR ON TERRORISM AND SAVING THE SUPREME COURT.

LoadTheMule - You’re actually making the case that since I won’t spend a permanent tax cut the way YOU think I ought, I shouldn’t get one?

Leftists are pompous little authoritarians, aren’t they? Because they’re government, they’re endowed with special Jedi-like knowledge that is unavailable to the average non-leftist citizen.

The “liberal” justification for these “rebates” show that they want to be our parents doling out allowance.

This is the BUSH STIMULUS.

This is not getting back money. this is money that is being “created” (printed) and thrown onto the economy.
Has anyone been alive when the gov’t just sent people money?
It’s a new one on me.

It is an indication of how scared they are in Washington DC that the American economic calliope will crash to the ground.

Can “the dictatorship of the proletariat” be far behind?

It will be if the Left gets bigger margins in the next election. Can you imagine a left-tard persident, senate and congress. They will run this country into the ground, confiscate guns, enact the fairness doctrine, sqash debate and basically enact this socialist eutopia. The USA will look like the USSR light.

Wrong this is the Pelositard stimulus, Bush is just stupid enough to sign off on it. The Housing Stimulus is from Barney Frank.

Bubble Boy suggested the stimulus

Bush on Friday urged that an economic stimulus package worth nearly $150 billion be passed immediately to head off a nationwide slump, while expressing confidence that the sagging economy will rebound.

In a well-received address, Bush said the package would consist of income tax relief and tax incentives for businesses, but veered away from specifics. He said it should be temporary and geared to restore money quickly to the pockets of consumers, so they can infuse the economy with new dollars as the housing market slump and other factors put it at risk.

Leftie economic thought is always wrong, no matter who says it.

...the American economic calliope will crash to the ground.

Thank you, Karl Marx.  He was wrong about that, too.
The only real “economic stimulus” possible is to reduce govt spending to the amount necessary for the legitimate functions of govt, according to the Constitution.
Without govt interference, the economy stimulates itself through individual self-interest.  Everything the govt takes from the productive citizens is then unavailable to stimulate economic activity.

People saving a windfall?  Well, it proves that citizens do in fact know economics better than both Congress and the Federal Reserve.  Let’s just hope that 51% of them show up and pull the lever against Obama this fall!

how scared they are in Washington DC that the American economic calliope will crash to the ground.

When do calliopes ever leave the ground? WOOF: I know you like to use words you do not know in absurd, yet meaningless ways. Is this a prerequisite to becoming a liberal these days?

Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

musical instrument that produces sound by sending steam through whistles, originally locomotive whistles. The calliope is also known as a “steam organ” or “steam piano”. It was often played on riverboats and in circuses, where it was sometimes mounted on a carved, painted and gilded horse-drawn wagon in a circus parade

And some new-mown chaperone was standin’ in the corner, watching the young girls dance

And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin’ with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance

The calliope crashed to the ground
