The purpose of this rebate is to help get money into the hands of consumers, who will in turn put this money back into the economy. While this could provide a short-term help to the economy, how many people will be actively spending this money? So, I have put this poll up to see what you plan on doing with the money.

I intend on putting any rebate check into a high interest on-line savings account.
I plan on taking a vacation. I haven’t had one in years. Thank you Mr. Bush.
I plan to pay off my credit cards
I plan to pay off some debt. What erks me about this stimulus package, is the fact that the consensus is that those who need the money just to stay afloat are the one’s they think will run right out and spend it!
I am going to apply it to my auto loan – damnit. Wanted the 40sumthin inch LCD display….
more of a question…does the $300 per child only apply to couples or individuals also…i am a single parent & curious about this…other than that…$ going towards bills..
The last time the president did this there wasn’t much stimulus to the economy. I say keep my money and use it for a REAL national disaster – one like Hurricane Katrina
I say save it, we probably will be paying it back next year.
