It's almost time for $$$

[Bill54]

We'll be getting a check but it won't be boosting the economy, we'll be paying off a few bills. 

Tax checks are paying for our vacation in July.  So I guess nothing for model railroading coming out of the govt. checks.

After the dust settles from the check we sent on April 15th we will net $60.00...that might pay for dinner and a movie if were lucky...oh...and a 1/4 tank a gas to get there...

What rebate?? I'm too low income to qualify for this one. Ain't that a kick! A person that REALLY needs it doesn't qualify!

The IRS believes my wife and I make too much money, so we won't be seeing a dime from these 'incentive' checks...

Mine is being applied toward my daughter's college tuition.

George is giving my tax money back so I can give it directly to him through my gas tank.

Seriously I would like to pick up a loco but instead I will be paying off some debt.

My wife's already got it set aside for bathroom renovations

[csmith9474]

Ours is going to pay off a credit card or two.

Being in Canada I'm not getting a cheque from the US govt. but I will continue to buy all of that made in China Atlas stuff from US online hobby shops if that floats yer boats.

We have a pellet stove...good clean heat, but me and my brother have to lug up 80lbs of pellets from the garage to the stoves (2 of 'em) every day...

I doubt my parents would let me spend it...probably would go towards collage.

I "had" a Pellet stove, thought the same thing as you. Three years ago pellets here in the Northeast were selling at $3.30 a bag bought by the ton ( 50 - 40# bags on a skid ). The price kept going up each year. When they hit $4.35 a bag this past season, I said enough. I bought a Jotul wood stove , we love it, best stove we ever had in 45 years. I have my own supply of wood so that was another deciding factor. Good luck with your Pellet stove, they are nice if you don't own your own forest, cordwood is $235 a cord, not cheap either.

I plan to spend the $$$ on a nice Made in the USA pellet stove.  That way when my home heating oil hits $4.00 a gallon I can still afford the electricity bill so I can play trains...

Eight  (8) more days and the checks go out to boost the U.S. economy, and George wants us to spend the money HERE on U.S. products to keep the $$ circulating HERE. Sooo, with that said, it sounds like NCE, Digitrax, Branchline, Kadee, Woodland Scenics, Micro Engineering, many products in the Walthers catalog, etc, etc., all made in the U.S.

  I can see it all now, the headlines of newspapers and CNN, Fox TV etc.,  in July, Model Railroaders save the U.S. economy from Recession !!!
