Give it and I will spend it.

All these responses, and nobody said, I put it in savings.
That's what I did.

That's what I would have done if I didn't have bills coming in. I still put
in the same amount of savings as I do every moth. It's just that the bills
go up about 2% each month and the income doesnst.

You aren't kidding. I spent $60 to fill the van yesterday. Ouch!


It costs me $60 to fill a Mitsu 3000 GT. Small car. Small tank, Premium
fuel only :-(

How can you fill the tank of a van for $60 even if it is regular?!!!!

If you only fill one of the two tanks. My old Ford Econline had two tanks
which took $25 each to fill up (back when gas was $2 or less). That's one of
the reasons I'm thrilled to death that I no longer have to travel to Ren
Faires to make money. Sold the van and never looked back! Plus, I don't have
to pitch a tent in the pre-dawn hours now that I'm in my 50s. Was a goal in
my 40s that I hit early, thank doG.

Both my cars have 16+ gallon tanks. 16 x 4.07 = 65.12

I took my wife's car to work yesterday (because it needed gas) and put in
only $40. Then I took an unexpected 150 mile trip and this time filled the
tank for another $52. I never spent that much in a single day even driving
cross country.

I also wondered about that. Your tax dollars being wasted. Just think of
thousands of postal drivers hauling around in trucks delivering a letter
that says you're about to get a letter. And the printing, and envelope
stuffing and all. Amazing waste of money.

Amazing Waste Lyrics
Christopher Young (1967-2039)
Stanza 6 anon.

Amazing Waste, how sweet the sound,
That sent a check to me.
I once was poor but now am funded,
Was peniless, but now money for me.

T'was Gov't that taught my heart to fear.
And Gov't, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Gov't appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and periods of unemployment
I have already come;
'Tis Gov't that brought me safe thus far in my hybrid gas saver auto
and Gov't will lead me to a Medicare retirement home.

The presidential candidates has promised good to me.
His campaign promises my hope secures.
He will my desert shield and retirement fund and medicare and medicaid be,
As long as the federal deficit spending endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, probably due to cholesterol,
And Medicare and Medicaid shall cease, due to lack of funding,
I shall possess within the privately funded, non governmental supported home
A life of joy and peace as far as is legally permitted by safety
regulations.
When we've been here ten thousand years or some other period of time
Bright shining as the sun. Or maybe just delerious due to medication
We've no less days to sing God's praise in a nondenominational manner
Than when we've first begun as the land of the free and home of the brave



Amazing Waste, how sweet the sound, of the letter in the mail box
That saved a wretch like me from peniless despair.
I once was lost but now am found, at least when my check arrives
Was blind, but now I see how generous government is with my tax payer
dollars.

The truly insane thing was spending millions to mail out the "you will soon
be receiving a check" letters. Why not just send the check without the
fanfare?

Savings account at 3% interest? You'd have been better off to buy gasoline,
or canned foods.

I read it cost between $30 and $40 million to send out those letters.

"Big difference between *paying* and *filing*. You can file and not pay.
You can even file, get all of your payroll taxes back plus a little
extra:
"The Earned Income Credit (EIC), also known as the Earned Income Tax
Credit (EITC), is an important anti-poverty and work incentive program
that is run by the federal government. The EIC is targeted to
individuals and especially families who earn low to moderate wages. If a
worker qualifies, the EIC will lower or eliminate any taxes owed.
If a worker is not obligated to pay any taxes or if the credit is larger
than any taxes owed, the worker will receive a cash payment ("refund")
from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) after filing a tax return.
In such instances, the government is providing low-income workers
additional money beyond what they get paid at their jobs to encourage
work and to reduce poverty."
Earned Income Credit or EIC is just another form of Welfare."

--------------------
And you just know there are young mothers who've figured out 20k a year
is about the perfect income for the highest EIC payment with no taxes
paid on their part.. 3 Kids or more also give the highest payout at
that income...

You can also get that money included in your paycheck every week and not
have to wait to get it at the end of the year. All they do is fill out
the earned income advance form with the IRS. I forget the form number.

Basically they're being paid to have kids.. No one said anything about
being responsable for them though..That doesn't affect the payout a
bit..

Well, are the fathers helping to support these kids? Very likely
not....

Stimulus Check?!
Probably the stupidest piece of legislation in recent history. *Makes the
"Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska look enlightened.

Do I sound bitter for not getting one? *Not at all...

I thought the exact same thing. How much money got wasted mailing
those damn letters out? I think I got at least two personally. I
already knew about the program, no need to send me a letter in the
mail telling me about it.

In my case the program failed miserably; it went immediately into my
paltry savings account in an attempt to bulk it up. I didn't spend
any money that I wouldn't have anyway. From reading a lot of the
responses it seems that a lot of other people are doing the same thing
or else paying off debt already incurred.

Not sure what country you live in but here in 'merica it is not
profitable to keep dad in the picture. You can get him to pay child
support (non taxable), alientate him from his kids (brainwash them) and
hook up with another dude (and milk his bank account as well) all
without getting married and still qualify for this 'welfare' progam.
It's called 'working the system' girlfriend.

Most of these ho's in 'merica have baybays by different fathers and
these females don't do this with 'keeping the father in the picture' in
mind.

This working of the system has systmatically lead to our current
fatherless society with all its ills and this sense of entitlement that
is so pervasive..

Intact nuclear families are eligible for the EIC if the
total family income is low enough. We got it one time when
I was out of work for about 6 months. That was 21 years
ago. We got back about $500 more than we paid in Federal
income taxes. We've more than made up for it since then.

===============
Misogyny...? or 'reality'... Maybe you should look the word up...and
while you're at it try 'misandry'...-----which is so pervasive in our
'merican culture now, yet whipped morons ignore it because that's what
they're trained to do by the panty waists...

Try reading Glen Sacks or go to mensactivism.org. Are 'you' among the
'crowd' who thinks a man getting hit in the groin is comedy..? How about
lorena bobbits mutilation of her partners sex organ??? Aren't you
offended when women refer to this when discussing what they might to to
a male...?

Again ...misandry is MUCH more pervasive in whipped, feminist, socialist
modern day 'merica...You're just so brain washed into doing their dirty
work and making the argument for your oppressors that you don't even see
it...

Go to court and try to get custody of your children or for that matter
your money ...see what happens...

Never said they weren't. But those working the system often do the math
and find being unmarried is more profiatble...

It's just that there is so much not to like.
lol.

Not only that, someone like this should not be in a position to
brainwash kids.
