Most People Can Expect Rebates by May Under Economic Recovery Plan
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Most taxpayers could expect a rebate of up to $600 starting in mid-May under the economic aid plan set to go through Congress within weeks.
Couples could get twice as much, with even more for most families with children. All that, however, depends on smooth sailing at the Internal Revenue Service, and the agency already is up to its eyeballs in filings and refunds.
Under the President's current recovery plan to help stimulate the economy and ward off a recession, the IRS says checks could starting getting into the consumers hands by May.

Yes, August ,I feel your pain. It is also mine. Me living in a rural area cost me 10 dollars in gas every time I go out. The you count the high cost of utilities and now insurances for every thing no wonder we are headed for a recession. What did we do way back when? Before we had all these things? There has to be a better way.

All we can do is try to manage our own households, you can only pay what you can pay and somethings we will just have to do without.
I have four dogs, if it comes down to feeding my family or the dogs, guess who is going.
I know that we do have a lot of things we could live with out, and sometimes are priorities are not in order, but if we had to dump a few things to make it, like the extra channels on the television bill, or the air conditioner is the summer, the unnecessary trips to the store, hell right now we are all paying an internet bill, we all have things that if we had to cut it to make it, we could.
I am not saying that we should have too, but if it came down to it, we could live without some of our luxaries. :o :o :o

One thing I would gladly cut out is the premium channels on out satellite bill. I don't watch enough to care about that.The others really don't either.next i wouls sell our goats as all we seem to do is feed them.We hardly ever sell one.I could think of ways to cut the expenses but hubby would not like it. He just sits and grummbles about the electric bill and how we waste electricity.Funny we sit a lot in the dark at night.
