Bush says economy will be stronger, due to rebate checks..He is delusional
President says tax rebates, stimulus package will help
AP
President Bush holds a copy of an IRS refund letter as he makes remarks about the economy, Wednesday, March 26, 2008, during a tour of ColorCraft, Inc. in Sterling, Va. (picture not included...we don't need to see him anymore)



STERLING, Va. - President Bush said Wednesday the sagging economy will "come out stronger than ever before" with the help of tax rebates from the recently enacted economic stimulus package.

Most people will use the rebate checks to pay some bills. The only ones who will benefit are the utility companies, credit card companies, and some banks and mortgage companies. These rebate checks will be as effective as if I were to pee in the ocean. Sorry, that is the best comparison that I could think of..

3. Of course he is!
But, all the GOP sheep need to believe is to have heard someone say it.

And now that it has been said, for them it's true.

Good luck convincing them of reality.

Come November 5, 2008, the media will blame the democratic winner of the election, regardless of the state of the economy.

6. And a number of pundits will say...that the Democratic Congress....
caused the recession/depression. Of course, Bush will not admit that he had anything to do with it...

paid back into the IRS to pay for the taxes of those who filed extensions to get time to scrape the money together to pay their tax bills.

5. This rebate check is a way of steeling from our treasury and the American people...
...and handing the money to corporate America.

We all know Bush doesn't care about us. More and more Americans are cutting back on their purchases, how will corporate America survive if we don’t feed it?

7. How many people with zero savings ...
... are going to use their checks to buy a brand-new 52-inch TV? You know many will. The electronics stores have already started their ad blitz to grab these checks.

8. Using *'s perverted logic, just eliminate all taxes and the economy would boom. Never has one nation
trusted it's executive office to such a stupid, arrogant, bastard.

10. Why don't people realized that everything Bush says translates to "Fuck you!"?
He's mocking us to our faces, and always has been. Why do you think he smirks?
