Oh, yeah, and it is YOUR OWN TAX MONEY that you are BAILING YOURSELF OUT WITH, America!
Makes me wonder why you were not allowed to KEEP IT in the FIRST PLACE!!!!
Oh, that's right: Government lends banks your money so they can lend it back to you with interest due -- if they lend it to you at all.
"What the $789b stimulus would do for consumers" by Robert Gavin and Erin Ailworth, Globe Staff | February 13, 2009
The bankers are getting their bailouts. Now it's your turn.
So drop those trousers, grab your cheeks, and pull!!!!!
There's almost something for everyone in the $789 billion stimulus package that Congress could approve as soon as today. Help would come in a variety of ways, from an $800 tax credit for working families to a tax break if you buy a new car or a new home. Higher-income families would be spared a tax increase.
Another broken 'bamer promise!
But the unemployed and low- to middle-income families stand to benefit the most. For example, the bill would extend unemployment benefits through the rest of the year and increase them by $25 a week. Anyone on Social Security would get an extra $250 payment, and those on food stamps could see a monthly increase of $25.
Oh, wow, a whole 46 bucks a week!
Some benefits you'll see within weeks of the bill's approval. Some you can't claim until next year....
So what can you expect? Here's a breakdown:
Needy families who qualify for food stamps would get an increase in benefits to help offset rising food costs. Patricia Baker, a policy analyst at the nonprofit Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, which advocates for the poor, said she expects benefits to start hitting pocketbooks as soon as this spring. Benefits for a Bay Stater on food stamps, she estimated, could go up by roughly $25 a month.
Meanwhile:
"Every table was set with a single fresh rose (from the rose gardens outside, I was told) and a full complement of three forks, two knives, and two spoons in silver plate..... The buffet tables could have graced a high-end ocean liner. I watched a gentleman in colorful African garb pile his plate with slices of roast sirloin and potatoes mashed with feta cheese. A post-retirement-age couple from the East Side scarfed up most of the egg rolls, though more came out quickly....
I made for the roast leg of lamb with rosemary sauce after I filled my salad plate with chilled asparagus and slices of a duck and pork terrine.... fresh tomato soup and bowls of pasta primavera.... The dessert buffet table practically groaned under a spread of apple and pumpkin pies, cheesecakes, tarts, half a dozen cheeses, sliced fruits, bowls of berries, and, off to one side, three urns of ice cream"
And that was just for LUNCH!

Buying a new energy-efficient furnace, energy-saving windows and doors, or adding insulation to homes could net tax credits. The stimulus bill would expand and extend existing tax credits for such energy-efficient investments through 2010.
The new program allows consumers to recoup 30 percent of their total investment up to $1,500. You apply the tax credit when you file your 2009 or 2010 income tax return. Congress also has set aside $5 billion to weatherize more than 1 million homes for "modest-income" families, who are expected to save, on average, $350 a year on heating and air conditioning.
Yeah, say hello to the ENERGY INSPECTOR!!!
And WHAT is in it for YOU, selfish American?
The bankers got their right away!
