Gimme My Rebate Fewl
Looks like Ol’ Dirty Bush is coughing up some money! Sometime this June or July, we all should be getting our rebate checks to blow on booze and cigarettes.
" The rebates, which would go to about 116 million families, had
appeal for both Democrats and Republicans. Pelosi’s staff noted that
they would include $28 billion in checks to 35 million working families
who wouldn’t have been helped by Bush’s original proposal. Republicans,
for their part, were pleased that the bulk of the rebates ? more than
70 percent, according to an analysis by Congress’ Joint Tax Committee ?
would go to individuals who pay taxes.
Individuals who pay income taxes would get up to $600, working
couples $1,200 and those with children an additional $300 per child
under the agreement. Workers who make at least $3,000 but don’t pay
taxes would get $300 rebates.
The rebates, expected to go out in June, would cost about $100
billion, aides said. The package also includes close to $50 billion in
business tax cuts. "
