'Tax rebate' checks expected to yield short-term benefits, long-term troubles
Budget expert Stan Collender doesn't even like the "tax rebate" terminology used by Washington, since many of the poorer recipients will have paid no 2007 federal income tax or amounts less than their government check. The stimulus package, he says, is really "pure borrowing … just increasing the [federal] deficit." picked by DerAlt 6 months ago
