- Tax credit of up to $400 for individuals, $800 for couples for 2009 and 2010. Figure your individual credit by taking 6.2% of your earned income. Note that your employer can adjust your withholdings so that the credit is returned to you over the year instead of all at once. The Associated Press says most people will see this in the form of a $13 bump in weekly paychecks starting in June, and dropping to about $7.70 a week for the duration of 2010.
- The $1000 child tax credit will be extended to more families, and if you’re a poor family with three or more kids, you’ll get an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit.
- No tax on the first $2400 of unemployment you receive in 2009.
- The government will subsidize up to 65% of your premium for Cobra coverage if you lost your job after Sep 1st, 2008. If you declined Cobra, you’ll have 60 days to reconsider.
- $87 billion is going to help states administer Medicaid, which the AP notes “could slow or reverse some of the steps states have taken to cut the program.”
- If you get food stamps, you’ll get more.
- If you buy a new car, light truck, recreational vehicle or motorcycle in 2009, you’ll be able to deduct the state and local taxes you paid on it.
I’d be curious to see how much more things will cost in the future to pay for all this. What, you thought Obama was giving away free money and stuff?
#60,
I don’t know too many people who say the SEC is worth its weight in gold either…
#55 Mr Fusion
I hadn’t even thought of those things. Thanks for the list and if I were in charge that would be a good place to start.
If you read my post I said gut government spending. No one in his right mind is going to tell me that we can’t do it and that there is no bullshit spending in government.
Porkulus is not going to be a savior. Let’s see how many jobs it creates (or SAVES, yeah right the new Obomba bullshit buzzword).
its stimulating me to realize we our just monthsfrom a complete takeover of almost all the states by the Federal Govenment.
this stimulus money will hold any states who take it hostage to unfunded, unconstitutional Federal mandates.
20 states have put the Federal government on notice to claim sovereignty under the 9th and 10th amendments, if the This administration continues on current path…
the president ha s the nerve to bitch about bushes $1tn-over-8yr-deficit when he
**forces congress to sign a $1tn bill without
reading** it because America will tumble into a depression if we don’t pas this bill today.
so the idiots sign it and what does the pres do? -he goes off to Chicago—-and then announces he’s going to wait until feb 17th
TO SIGN IT…IN DENVER…home of where the
Amero is to be printed, home of NORTHCOM, CIA,
FBI international Ops….and future home of the NWO which obama is to be the leader of..
-next year the deficit is going to go to $4tn
obama is nothing but a kissinger NWO puppet, just like bush, clinton and bush sr. before him..tomorrow, feb 17th he will sell America’s sovereignty to the new world order.
WAKE UP!

Look at me I’m a liberal fagot who sucks Obama’s cock and likes to bitch about bitching because I have no idea whats going on. I make up lies and spread fear to get a bill pushed through that doesn’t help us at all and try to justify it by saying we are in a crisis.
I ignore the fact that most of that bill was spending on unnecessary programs that don’t do anything to help the economy. All the while saying I have a family that got fucked when in reality I’m just a back door loving cock slut from Sweden.
FUCK REPUBLICANS!!!1

FDR’s Treasury secretary and close friend, Henry Morganthau, conceded this fact to Congressional Democrats in May 1939:
“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong … somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises … I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started … And an enormous debt to boot!”
Paddy, you should send that to the DNC.. ;p
hey- i found an outstanding article with gov
data.. (the pdf data i’ve had/known about from prior digging a month or two ago..it is used in this article to great effect..
explains the mistakes being repeated with
glaring clarity..and data neither side (esp dem) can deny the fact here.
go through the entire two pdf’s linked in the article, aside from what he directs you to look at..the numbers are boggling to say the least.. (i’ll try and work this article into a more recent DU post to bring its attention for all to review. -anyway..
-take a look at this:
“Obama Economic Stimulus: Truth and Consquences ”

this wont stop till they bankrupt the arabs/iran & make dubai a forgotten memory

If they all are of the honesty & intelligence level of Omama, they wouldn’t be able to read & understand it…
