I don't have the money, personal accountants or tax shelters that many of the "D" readers have. You know who you are... Anyway, I don't see it as a gift. It's my freaking money in the first place...

The argument is as soon as receive this money (which won't be until some time this summer) we will go out and spend it, thus giving the economy a boost. I'm not sure sending the money to troops overseas would have the same effect. The alleged purpose of the rebate is to stimulate the economy.

You take the money you make from ads for one month and send that to the troops. Some feel we are in a recession because of this war. Why doesn't D Magazine name it Best War and people will visit it more. IJS Glenn

Ask any teacher... we spend way more than that in any given year. So, you know, I don't really feel so bad about getting some money back to pay off the 'ol credit card. I'll be happy to have my students continue to make cards and write letters, though. Teachers can only claim $250 in personal moolah spent on classroom materials on their taxes.
