Hooray! China is going to lend us each $300 to buy their stuff!

:woohoo:

Thank you George W. Bush for this wonderful deal. You're the man!

I'm going to buy myself an entire flock of Made in China Garden Gnomes, the more lead in the paint, the better!

I think you should do this too, Mr. President. The White House lawn could use a little decoration.

1. so thoughtful of them to pick my grandchildren's pockets

republican weasels

4. The Dems signed off on this too

I blame politicians in general for trying to buy votes. I'm thinking this could be a boost for manufacturing - in China, and maybe some extra hours for Best Buy employees. That's best case scenarion. This whole thing stinks to high heaven. I can scarcely think of a worse idea to fix our economy than throw borrowed money at it.

6. same same

republican weasels / democratic weasels
so much weaseling going on it's sometimes hard to tell em apart

2. Some questions from the cheap seats

is this $300 going to be considered income that the IRS will ding me on next year? Or is this $300 advance on next years tax refund? Like a payday loan?

3. You got it Ace! I wish everyone realized what a sham this is.

Pennies for the peasants. Bush is pathetic. At least this piece of garbage will be gone before long. It's like getting a tax refund. Why do people thinkl it's such a great thing to get a tax refund. That means you have paid the government too much money and they get to us it. When they pay it back to you they pay zero interest. :dem:

5. I'm investing it in poisonous cat food!

Thank you, Chinese masters!

8. Nice synopsis. Well done. That is what is going on. The Chinese win.

9. And the interest over time that we will pay China for this loan

will add to the wealth drain from this country. Most likely we will pay more far more in interest through our taxes than
this messily little rebate we are getting now. It is a total scam. Of course the wealthy here and in China will greatly benefit
once again at our expense.
