What are you going to do with your extra 13 dollars a week from Obamas stimulus plan?

I can hardly wait til June for this huge kickback. I knew I should of voted for Obama! Maybe I will buy a CD or something.

Update:

Hey Penguin man or whatever you call yourself. You have it backwards. The dems are the ones foolishly wasting a trillion dollars on a plan that will give me 13 dollars a week. How is that going to stimulate anything? I think I know the value of a dollar better than the average person.

    Maybe I'll buy a new piece of Obama paraphernalia every week just in case it's worth some thing someday... what a joke...that's about how much sense this "stimulus" is! 13 dollars a week? That is a slap in the face to us tax payers.You know I would really like to know how much is going into the welfare system so our welfare recipients can have the limit upped on their taxpayer funded visa.Just for comparison.Strictly out of curiosity.

    I asked the same question last night and got no answer. Maybe I had it in the wrong topic.

    But I just can't believe it I make a little more than that per hour. I would just work an hour less and pocket the profit.

    But then again after taxes it would only be about 10 bucks.

    wow I don't know if I deserve it since I didn't vote for him. wow that means less tax refund next year since i'm getting it in tiny payments, but I shall profit if i'm getting an extra 13 a week and they only take about 5 dollars now since I make very little money. wow instead of having an nice refund next year to actually buy something with, i will have a few dollars more a week to waste and end up with nothing.

    Stuffing it in my mattress with the rest that I've been saving since I thought there might be a chance that Obama would become president.Turns out I did the right thing.

    By the time that Barry gets done taxing ammo I might be able to buy a 2,99 $ box of .22 long rifle ammo!

    I'll buy new stamps to cover the increase in postage that goes into effect in May. The government always ends up with my money one way or the other.

    Try to stay focused. This is a stimulus plan. Its purpose is not to make you feel like you won the lottery.

    What will I do with the extra money? I'll *spend* it. And so will every other working American. We'll spend it so fast,we'll hardly remember it was ever in our wallets. And the people who receive the money from us, they'll spend it too.

    And that, my friend, is what stimulates the economy.

    EDIT: Oh dear, you really do not understand, do you. Why do you bother to answer a question, if you think you know everything?

    You will not get the entire 13 of course. This will just be added to your gross pay and then taxed. I am seriously considering give 13/pay to the GOP.

    Burritos.

  • im going to save it up, $675 per year is a pretty nice gift to me. In fact, that will help me pay for at least 3 of my College books.....foolish conservatives don't know the value of a dollar.

    you ask how its going to stimulate the economy? how? cause as long as there is a flow of money (consumer to the producer) than that is a form of stimulus. My $13 dollars a week will build up and I will spend it somewhere as you will. That money will then go to a company who will then buy more items to sell. It will work, look at how many people there are in America, if 300,000,000 people were to spend their $13 dollars a week, than money will be circulating again. Ergo, starting the economy rolling again.
