A Comment on the Culture

[PA41]

I was at my 7 year olds birthday party Saturday and was talking to a 25ish mommy and daddy about the new home they bought. They were planning on what to do with the $8000 Obamma Dollars they were getting back for their house stimilus money. The Daddy was planning a turbo setup for his Honda CRX with his $4000, and the Mommy was planning on a **** job with her $4000 share..

I was struck with what a wonderfull, crazy country we live in. At first I was a little offended that $8000 of my tax money was going, and thought they should put it back in the mortage, but thats old man thinking & thats no fun. After some consideration, I don't think I can think of a better thing to do with free money than buy ****s and turbo chargers..

At first I thought they were fools, but now I think they are geniuses!! Especially the guy!!

What a COUNTRY!! Ain't life good??

im 26 and would have put at least most of it back into the mortgage or at
tucked it away in savings -- just saying im not old and thats how i think...
but i also dont spend my entire tax return before i get it either.

How much money did they have to spend to get the eight grand back sound fishy! And real breast rock

 

[hotrod preacher]

i didn't realize they actually got "cash back" i thought it was a tax credit......

and i won't incriminate myself on the other thought within the thread.....


anyway, what makes people think the way they do always amazes me.....the economy must be really in the toilet if uncle sam needs to give 8 grand to someone to buy a house and the ones purchasing have no more serious needs than that.......i'm just sayin'



God bless America (and please hurry)

Yep... we're in a world of hurt that our grandkids will be payin' off. If I'm not mistaken they also tax that $8K in some way so you don't really get the full amt. And I believe it is a credit!

I am 42 and I would be paying off bills and then rebuilding my olds 425 for the 42 chevy. Sounds lie he is putting more into the Honda than it is worth.

I didn't think you got the money I thought it was a tax cut but if you do and you spend it at least it might stimulate the ecomomy,...or something.

Sounds like a win/win for the guy, 3 new playthings.
