it's just a trick to increase consumer spending. thereby proving that the republicans aren't to blame for the recession (that isn't really happening).
enjoy your checks!

I love the way the market responded to the Feds move yesterday to basically buy a whole bunch of crappy paper off their hands using taxpayer dollars. The American people just suddenly owned $200 billion in bad fucking loans. The Wall Street people basically said "Yeah! We're screwing the peons again! Rally!!!" And then for half the day the market tanked today and then it jumped because some morons stated far too over-optimistically "Hey! We're at the bottom of the subprime problem!"
What a fucking joke. All the market fundamentals ar ein the fucking shitter. As these things continue to tank in the weeks ahead THEN what is the Fed going to do? Buy MORE bad loans? Meanwhile we're burning a few billion a day in Iraq...
God, the Saudis and the Chinese are laughing they're fucking asses off...but hey! I'm getting $300 in the mail! Thank you Trickle-Down-Compassionate-Conse... Money Management! You guys rock!!

It's only so that the Republicans can say "Republicans give you free money, the democrats just want to tax you more," in the general election.
- Exactly. Distract serfs and rubes with the "Oh! Shiny!" tactic.TheBlueOne
- that's funny because the democrats wanted to extend the benefits to more peopleDUKIE0822
