They will base the rebate on 2007 and then next year they will calculate what you should have gotten. If you received more than you should you may keep it, if you got less than you should they will send the difference. The fact is, regardless of where they get the money, they are giving money to people who pay no taxes. If they borrow from China we still have to pay it back and that will be from taxes paid by people who got little or no rebate. No matter how you slice it, it is a redistribution of wealth. I agree, they are only doing it to make it appear as if they are doing something (and it is an election year). This is not a loan against the 2008 taxes.

There is no REAL rebate... the amount being distributed is a loan against anything that is expected to be refunded with the 2008 tax return. And if there IS no refund in 2008, why you can expect to pay them back in a future year... Yes, that's right... you're simply loaning to yourself out of next year's refund. The only difference is who is holding the money throughout the next 12 months, just the same as the last *rebate* that was distributed. It's all hype and a distraction. Not socialism, not a redistribution, not money that the government took that it shouldn't have... You can say it's a loan from the governnment only if you get back more than you've paid in by the time you receive it in June. IOW... it's nothing... Just something so that they can say that they did something beneficial for the economy and get people to spend money now without worrying about what they'll need to do next April when the bill comes due.

That's why IT can afford to give back...in these forms. In fact it can give back to those who never gave in the first place. That's why it's wrong.

I especially like this paragraph you wrote: "If we want to stimulate the economy how about we cut taxes across the board so people will have more of their income to spend? How about we make other countries pay tariffs on the items they export to our country. How about we force our elected leaders to limit spending and force them to balance the budget? How about we force them to stop adding pork to bills and end the earmark practice? We could start drilling for our own oil and drive the costs down?" Yes, the "rebate" is socialism and pandering for votes. I also have this question: If the government can afford to "give back" all this money, why did they take it our of our pockets in the first place? The entire package smells to high heaven. And here's the kicker--it's not going to help the economy in the long run (or maybe even in the short run). Excellent post, BD! I especially like this paragraph you wrote:
