They got $2000.

That will buy 2.5 $800 bags. Big deal.

How come Bush when first elected great tax giveaway of $2000 to everybody but the real poor trying to raise kids was such a good deal, and $2000 to people who lost everything they had is bad?

It wasn't a tax giveaway, it was a tax rebate. In order to get a tax rebate you must first pay taxes. Very simple.

You're right. No one who used to live in New Orleans paid taxes because they don't work (income tax) and they don't buy anything (sales tax).
Yup. And no one deserves a helping hand when their homes are destroyed, their jobs are lost, their banks are under water, their insurance companies won't pay out for months, their friends and family are scattered or missing...

What the hell are you talking about? See my above response to cardcounter01?

I never said anything about whether the people of NO deserve gov't subsidized handouts.

Yap. Exactly what I was thinking. They were probably just buying those purses to put stuff in that they had stolen earlier. Should have just shot them as they tried to leave New Orleans.

Sorry if we are trying to sidetrack your sidetrack to my sidetrack....

We will try to stick to the non-point to the non-point next time.

Yeah, looking back at my post, I wish I just quoted that first part about the rebate, and not the whole thing about disaster relief and whatnot. Are we clear about the rebate thing now?

Yap. People too poor to pay taxes wouldn't have taken that rebate money and spent it to stimulate the economy, they probably would have just stuck it in T-Bills.
