The Stimulus !

[kewp]

Seriously, you should come talk to some actual people who make $30,000/yr. Most of them are incredibly hard-working and, despite not having much education, pretty savvy about how things work.

Once the recession hits, we’ll see exactly how ‘rich’ all those home-debtors with their fancy toys are. The sad irony is that those 30k wage earners that rent in the ghetto actually have *more* real wealth than the typical SoCal debt slave.

Since any credit crisis’ are deflationary in nature, I fully expect the cost of living to go down over the next few years in the area. There will be some inflation in food, energy and basic goods I think, but RE and luxury assets should plummet.

Btw, one of the richest people in American, Jim Simons, has a PhD in math.

This probably isn’t free money, since this stimulus package sounds a lot like the one Bush did earlier in his presidency. These “tax rebates” only appear to be early tax refunds on the following year’s taxes.

If thats the case these rebates are just short term, interest free loans.

(This is what the original poster said as well-but its a good point. This isn’t free money and yes, you could give it to charity. But do you normally borrow money to give to charity?)

greensd, I take it back, you are acting like a punk so please feel free to feel bad. My words of encouragement were meant to highlight the type of person that usually posts here, thanks for providing the exception. There is so much irony in your post my blather meter is off the charts. Who get’s a PHD in math and then takes a job that will never rise above the median income, then posts on a real estate site? What university pays it’s professors less than half of what kindergarten teachers make? And don’t lecture me on how you are smarter and work harder than I do, that I have no sense of the common man. This is going to hurt, grab a chair. I am smarter than you, I work harder than you and I’ll say this just because I’m angry, I’m better looking too. You may not learn anything from us clowns, but many people do learn and we learn from each other, often times more than we did from our math professors. I’ll tell you one thing Mr. Smartypants, on your way to your PHD you missed one class, the one that would have given you the wisdom not to walk into a room full of strangers where you have no street credibility and launch insults at the first person to talk to you. Maybe you can sit in the back and audit that class, you are never too old to learn.

Pencilneck may be right, I just read some of the details and it looks to be a “payday advance” on next years income tax refund. If this turns out to be the case, it’s just a shell game, no cause for alarm. All us dumb people who don’t work hard and make way too much money to qualify aren’t going to get screwed afterall, what a relief, now I can go back to blathering.
