Do you feel that the projected tax credit for this year will make a difference in

[Treblacram]

your life? First you ought to read this article on what the stimulus plan tax credit will do for you:

Now after reading that, do you really feel that $13 a week, or $26 biweekly will do much of anything for you?

I'm not one to complain or point fingers, especially since it's more than I would be getting without the credit, but I find it funny that anyone would think that in today's economy where homes were selling for half a million dollars in many places, that $13 a week would do anything at all. It won't really encourage spending because $13 doesn't really buy very much anymore. What will you do with your extra weekly $13?

Somewhat yes. It will make a big difference for low wage workers.

I did vote for Obama, and he is stuck with trying to fix the last decade...but no....$13 bucks a week is going to do nothing to change our finances...our property taxes went up beyond 13 bucks a week to pay for a new school.
