Bush: Checks in the Mail

Still doing his level best in not mentioning the dreaded word "recession", President Bush repeated his mantra the U.S. economy is in a slowdown but not to worry for help is on way in the form of tax rebates designed to stimulate the economy. "The money's going to help Americans offset the high prices we're seeing at the gas pump and the grocery store and it will also give our economy a boost to help us pull out of this economic slowdown." Does anybody honestly believe that a $300 check will not only negate rising gasoline and food prices but provide a boost to the economy?

hell no it's not going to help much. For most people, 75-100 dollars is one tank of gas and 200 is groceries for what, a week and a half to two weeks. Slowdown my a$$...how about a screeching halt?
