For US residents - Obama's stimulus plan checks

[mrusse01 0]

$1,500 Billion ($1.5 Trillion) on a new Bank rescue program

I haven't heard anything about this??

I read 'Empire of Debt' a couple years ago...those guys have one of the biggest "I told you so's" of all time right now.

Whats the best country to go live in? I need to start devising an exit strategy for when the United States implodes..

I'm just waiting for the population to surge from all the people who moved to Canada when Bush was elected coming back.

They're all at Alec Baldwin's house.

I have been reading a lot of stuff about the plan (the checks would be $500 for single people and $1000 for married couples) but have not seen any mention of when the checks will be available. Anyone hear anything?

BTW - in no way do I want this to turn into a political thread. Thanks :)

No checks, just a very slight reduction in taxes that should net you an extra $10-15 in your paycheck - assuming your paid bi-weekly. <_<

99.9999% of them didn't have the balls to follow through with it.

The twenty-seven people who did, are not welcome back :D

To be honest the last time I was in Vancouver for a Canucks game I stopped at an immigration office, very friendly people, to check out what would go into an American getting landed immigrent status. I was actually surprised to learn how many Americans were up there. I mean obviously most Canadian immigrients are coming from Asia and the middle east, but still about 2.5% are American nationals. Have some friends in Victoria that could use an executive chef, so with everything going on I'm about 90% certain I'm going to go for it. That's not to say Canada is perfect by any means, no where is. But they also don't have a wierd looking doofus with absolutely no experience running the ship with a pack of yes men rubber stamping everything he does. But he's black, well at least in part anyway, and that's all that really matters. Where do I get my commerative quaters?

We had a white doofus whose every whim was rubber stamped for a while too. ;)

Yeah, seriously.

Have you ever researched the political landscape in Canada?

My Canadian buddies tell me that it's a gigantic clusterfuck..... but for the most part, they all seem too mellow to give a damn about politics, in general.

Actually I have, quite a lot. Started mostly with the tax strucuture, in a few years with home boy's economic policy we'll be paying the same here, but lacking services like universal health care. I'm not saying Canada is perfect, they have a fair share of problems. I simply believe that with an affirmative action president and a congress that will do anything he wants times during the Bush admin are going to seem like paradise.

I'd also note that my primary reason for moving to Canada is a much better job opportunity than really anything I've had state side, that we have dumbo for president just adds a little incentive.

It was more a reference to the guy's ears, I think with sufficent speed there's enough surface area there to actually create lift. On the more literal side, I have yet to see Obama preform any better than Bush. Instead of enacting any real change all he's managed is a massive spending bill (generational theft), several failed cabinet members that were tax cheats (how's that for irony), and bring in a warmed over Clinton administration. This is not change, it's an inexperienced novelty president trying to feel his way through office like a virgin trying to get a girl's bra off for the first time. The novelty of a sorta black president seems to be wearing thin quickly.

Different idiot. Who's excited for hyperinflation, raise your hand? Everyone will keep their homes but bread will be $20.
