on the surface, this seems like a great idea. who wouldn't want a few hundred bucks tossed back their way?

but the skeptic in me says there must be some catch. where is the money coming from? what are we cutting funding for in order to have this money to give out? how much is this going to increase the already ridiculous national deficit? how many people will actually qualify for this? how long is it going to be before we actually see any of it?

assuming we do actually get this extra money returned to us, and assuming it is within the next couple months, i know exactly what i'm doing with it: buying plane tickets.
