(here: 2 wage earners @ $10/hr for 40 hrs/wk for 12 months = $38,400).
According to the IRS the median AGI in Tax Year 2001 was $28,117. The Census Bureau lists the median income per household as $42,148 in 2000.

Handing out rebates gives a "one time" boost to the economy. Once the money is gone, so are the benefits. Investing the money in businesses or other growth-oriented ventures CONTINUOUSLY reinvests itself, creating real growth in terms of things like employment. Webster defines rebate like this

a return of a part of a payment
So it isn't really a rebate because they never made any fucking payment. Sorry to waste your time with FACTS.
