uncle sam hearts you…and wants to buy you things…pretty things.
“Sure, we’re America…. we’re in debt up to our Red, White, and Blue asshole….but how about some cash? Sound good? Let’s get this economy jumping! How about $300 bucks? Oh, and if you have children…here’s 300 for them as well! You could make as much as $1200 out of this deal! Need a flat-screen tv??? Can you still buy Reebok pumps…..? How about that Commodore 64 that’s all the rage? Am I out of touch?”
At least it’s better (and less guilt ridden?) than the $800 that Bush initially wanted to give everyone individually. Don’t get me wrong… I’m all for getting money. I need money. But…. when this country is financially collapsing like it currently is…. I don’t think this is the best idea.

[EDIT]
According to THIS post by CNN, couples would get $1200 if they pay income taxes…individuals $600.. $300 if they don’t pay taxes? Wow, you know how to kiss me, Uncle Sam.
