So 1600 bucks is going to bring the families of servicemen backfrom the brink of poverty, not to mention those still struggling to get by on federal disaster relief?

Oh, and I'd probably spend it on mods as well.
That being said... ALL of us are going to "reinvest" this money back into china. LMFAO not funny at all. but ill be gone in <100 years anyway. But economical changes dont happen by a single tax break. This economical problem will take at least 5 years to begin to look better. I am a republican that understands we need a more liberal leader in charge to help lower our 11% unemployment rate and boost our economy. US is starting to get F'd. Did anyone else notice that the Canadian dollar is now worth only pennies less than the USD??
just dont let this man in. please, or we all will be dead.\/

Lets think the most logical, mature, responsible thing to do.

And before the "well you got yourself in that debt" blah blah blah comments, the money was used towards something to help and better someone.

Why spend the $800 when I can be debt free and have no worries?

Im past the modding part in my life. Im only 24, but I know what is more important in life then modding my car.
yeah, i dunno thinking more and more, i got 3300 in CC debt hangin over me... i dont blame you for wanting to do that.. its goin to help you sleep better at night

Wow.. I know we are all here to have fun and joke.. I'm always one to agree to disagree, but posting a picture like that is well... just ignorant at best.

That being said. Yeah, economical changes don't have overnight, but with as much as what China holds in US bonds and other assets, they hold alot of power today and it grows by billions each week. They would also be significantly hurt if they were use that power against us since we are the primary market for their manufactured goods.... But it is a leverage that we should be very concerned about.
