Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 My wife came home and said that she called her HR lady and she said that the $40 she gets extra per-paycheck from the "stimulous package" is actually $40 that they dont take from her federal tax....So how is this stimulous???? taking out $40 from our federal to give it to us now just so we can pay it back in next year???

stevebeilgard Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 it's not stimulus, as you say. it's a scam. get the money now and pay it back next year with penalties and interest, just like any back taxes owed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The bill was a spending bill, not a stimulous package. I personally like to think of what they are doing as more of a slight of hand type of deal. In the long run, you are still paying for it, they are just attempting to lead people to believe that they are doing the best that they think possible to fix the problems with the economy.
