Be thankful you make enough to not qualify....

Mr. Bush decided that because so many people are being hit with high heating bills, the cost of gas, mortgages, etc., that the government should send out "relief" money. Qualifiers are that families make less than $150k ($75k if single). Payments are $600 for the adults, $300 for each dependent, so a family of 4 gets $1800. The idea was that the rebates would do two things-help out the families and generate some buying, but it's pretty obvious both here and what's being reported in the news that all it's going to do is help alleviate some personal debt.
