Yeah, I understood it the same way, too. But I don't care that I got a refund. I should still get a rebate for money that they took out. It's not fair to me that only people who ended up owing get a rebate. Uncle Sam still took the same percentage out of my check as everyone else in my tax bracket, and I want some cheese back. Only because it's being given out.
On the other hand, I'm not sure I like this whole thing. It's going to increase our deficit that Mr. Bill worked so hard to keep down. Yeah, we get some loot, but is it really worth it in the long run, as far as our economy goes? Things just aren't looking good right now. Wall Street all jacked up. Companies laying off THOUSANDS of people left and right. This whole thing just doesn't sit well with me. I'm tellin' you, though, I'd feel a whole lot better if I was getting a rebate check, LOL!!
