Uncle Sam short changed me. I got $300 instead of $900. I guess my child doesn''t count to GWB.

To our President George W. Bush..."Thank You!" We from Texas know what kind of leader you are and how you have helped the people. We are greatful for it. Those of you who are not, go ahead a send your stimulus back now. Stop complaining and do something to help yourselves.

The stimulus checks are a collective concept designed to stimulate the economy, not provide direct aid to individuals. The thought is that by stimulating the economy,, individuals will benefit. From the moment this idea was conceived, naysayers have been critical. Where is the enthusiasm for trying something different? To speculate that something untested will fail is to doom it before it has a chance. Like other lessons in life, hopefully we don''t repeat something that doesn''t work. Doing nothing is worse than trying something new that might just work.

These "rebates" all come from borrowed money. That money has to be paid back by someone. It''s not a rebate it''s a forced loan! We will ALL be paying back a LOT more than were getting.
Thanks W!
