<description>How am I stimulating the economy when the IRS applied my $600 to back taxes that I am not delinquent on?  I was audited from 2002 to 2006. I was notified by the IRS via letter in 2006 of this audit and set up a payment plan.  I have been paying for over 2yrs now.  I do not owe any Federal student loans, and I don't have any kids, so child support is not due either.  Today, 07/16/2008 the IRS was incapable of explaining to me why I am not getting my stimulus.  They did give me the public law code, and that's it.  I would like to know the exact explanation within the bill that states the money sent to me to stimulate the economy is in fact subject to stimulate the IRS instead.  Also, an explanation of where this money is coming from would be appreciated.  Last I checked the US is in 9-trillion-something dollars in debt to itself???...</description>

<description>It is amazing that our elected representatives are able to find One Hundred Sixty Eight Billion dollars of &quot;Vote Buying&quot; money but are completely unable to find the Twenty Billion dollars or so that we should be spending annually to restore our United States Air Force aircraft. Almost all of our military aircraft have greatly exceeded their design life.

Spending the money on what we need would also stimulate the economy as well as insure that we will be around long enough to enjoy the benefits....</description>

<description>Reverse psychology works. The money which everyone assumes is to stimulate the economy will go in the bank by everyone behind in bills and everyone looking to spite. There is no money for lenders to lend, they are getting some from sovereign funds but what better place to get it then get it back from where yo lent it....</description>

<description>Maybe they should consider fixing incomes and education and the ridicules cost of health insurance and health care instead of costing the public more money to &quot;give back&quot; money....</description>

<description>They could have saved the rebate checks, kept the re-fi stipulations and business deductions, and called it good enough for now. But, since it is my money anyway, I will be using it for items built in the USA. In addition, IT'S AN ELECTION YEAR PEOPLE, they have to buy your votes. 

Just wait for the Dems to take the Presidency. This country will be in even worse shape with all the social plans of the Democrat &quot;SAVIORS&quot;. Raise your taxes, raise business taxes, business is &quot;EVIL&quot;, jobs cut further, etc etc etc....</description>

<description>Follow-Up: Learn something about history. The FED is the reason the Great Depression occurred, and it is the reason it will occur again. Bills such as this will not &quot;boost the economy.&quot; Most people will save this money or spend it paying bills. Thge reason the economy is going down the drain is because Congress delegated the Constitutional authority to regulate the value of money to a private bank. This is a very foolish thing to do, and it is illegal under the Constitution of our country. This bill does not treat the problems, just the symptoms of the economy. The way to fix this is to return to the standards dictated by the Constitution....</description>

<description>Jacob, what a fantastic way to spend this money.  I believe I may just do the same thing OR now I have several people (in the Ron Paul fashion), that have also decided to run for office.  It might help them get started!  Thanks for the idea!...</description>

<description>I don't agree with this at all... but what can we do?

I'm just sending it to Ron Paul's campaign fund. You want someone to fix the economy and open your eyes people because there is no one as qualified and I dont think anyone's punked Bernake as much as Dr. Paul does....</description>

<description>Let's see, the country is deep in debt, the dollar is losing value daily, so now GW is going to go deeper in dept (further devaluing the dollar) to help the economy. God help us!  Our rulers are morons!...</description>

<description>The economy is in the dumper because Americans are hooked on spending.  They buy houses they can't afford, drive cars that guzzle gas...and the government's answer is a little crack nugget to keep us hooked.  Screw that, I'm putting my rebate in the bank where it will earn some money for me!...</description>

<description>Here we go again.  I guess we'll be borrowing money from China to give stupid Amerikans a token of their income taxes back so they can go out and spend it on something made in china!  Only our government could come up with such a brilliant plan.  meanwhile, we have people complaining that they may not get their fair share.  Give me a break. Our founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves....</description>

<description>Follow-up: &quot;The idea behind it is for you to take some of the government's money and go on a shopping spree to boost the economy.&quot;

Erm, hate to say this, but it's not the government's money, it's ours (assuming you're a tax payer). You might wish to review your response to Brad....</description>

<description>My mistake, I meant &quot;Adjusted Gross Income&quot; rather than &quot;net income tax liability&quot;

For example, educator expenses, IRA deduction, student loan interest, and tuition and fees are all deductions that may help reduce your &quot;Adjusted Gross Income&quot;....</description>
