Thank you President Bush

I am sure that everyone has heard about the “Bush Money,” and that every tax payer is getting. I have been pretty confused about it; because I though that every tax payer is getting 600 dollars, but if you only worked part time you only got 300 dollars. I only work part time, so I was expecting to get 300 dollars and was happy to have it. I am aware of the reason we are getting it. It is not because Bush is generous and just want to hand America 600 dollars out of the goodness of his heart. It is not so that people will not hate him as much either. The reason is because it will help our economy, people will get “free” 600 dollars and are likely to spend it, and therefore it goes back into the economy. I think that in end I rather not have it because it will make products go up in price. I was eating lunch with my dad today; and we were talking about it and he said that everyone has the option to return the money back to the government if they do not like Bush. No, I am not a Bush fan at all, however I need the money for my bonnaroo ticket. If I had the money I send that “Bush Money” back with a raging letter attached. Later my Dad told me that every tax payer over the age of 16, gets 600 dollars. So maybe now I should still send that raging letter, with a thank you on the bottom.

Hahaha, nice thought :). I don't work currently, so I didn't get the money (:,(), but that is a little cheap, the truth behind it all. People think they're getting a free donation of 600 bucks, only to realize that things like prices have gone up. It's bitter sweet.

Woah, wait.. Why have I not heard of this? That is so crazy..not the fact that we are getting the money, but the fact that our economy is doing so badly that they have to give money to people for them to spend. I wonder how this will work out.
