Ribbit. Ribbit. Rebbit. Rebbate. Rebate.
Oh, its that bullshit rebate chatter. Looks as though SanFranNan and the Bohner-man have kissed and made up a crap deal that is going to toss me some change.
While I do love getting my own money back, the time the government has been holding onto it it has lost like 5% of its value. The Check will say $300, but it’ll only be worth $285.
Oh hell yes I’ll take. I’m not one of those libs who says we don’t pay enough taxes. Though I do wonder how many of them will not cash theirs? (Answer: None). Maybe the Congressional Repubs shouldn’t have caved on the giving of cash to people who don’t pay taxes. That way the leftards could have redistributed some wealth that actually fucking belonged to them.
If the Dems and their media bedmates weren’t trying so hard to talk down the economy for the past four years, finally geysering with the housing market adjustment, then we wouldn’t even be here talking about the possibility of a need for a “stimulant” package.
And if the people on both sides of the aisle weren’t all blundering asshats they’d be able to read their own Congressional Budget Office report telling them that doing nothing is the best course of action.
But its an election year, so bend over folks. Inflation and teenagers demanding their portion of the check are comin’ round the bend.
Oddly enough, France’s Sarkozy has figured out a much better way of stopping both inflation and recovering a national economy: Freeze Public Spending!
How cheese-curdlingly novel, Qui?
Seeing as how $300 ain’t much to buy a firearm with, I was going to buy ammo with it. Then I thought about Jeep parts.
But after thinking about reality, I think I’ll buy something just a bit more shiny.
Like two rolls of these? Or maybe even this? Or maybe a combo of both? Yes, I like that last answer.
So, what’ll you be doing with your money that the gov’t’s been so kindly holding on to for you?
I told the soon-to-be-wife that it was going to be a chunk of aluminum (an AR-15 off list lower, thanks CA). She said that if I could get a firearm for that much, well go ahead. Little does she know of all of the “attachments” that are required. She is just sad that she is over the cut-off and not getting anything back.
The wife gets a new carry piece to go with her new CCL. Any suggestions for a small handed lady?
You can’t even buy much ammo with it…but I’d go the route Christopher’s taking since I’m in the same shoes.
It’s incremental, a little parts-kit here, a Vltor modstock there – pretty soon you’re hittin’ X’s.
Ammo or canned goods.
If I actually see a check it will go as a down payment on a very eye catching Springfield SOCOM II I saw at my local range. I might even send a thank you note to ol’ Pelosi. 😀
Nolan,
Re: That thank you note to Pelosi; include a couple of pictures with it 😉
*pats his SOCOM II* A lot of people downplay it (for good reason), but I do like this gun.
The VLTOR modstock is not a bad idea (though it is a little over the $300 check)… that is, it would not be a bad idea if I did not live in a quasi-socialist state that viewed pistol grips as the work of the devil incarnate.
As it is, I will probably just save it… or see if I can snag my father’s old pump-action .22 from him, and a few bricks of rounds…
Being of sound mind, I should write, “return to sender… you need it more than I do.” But being of sounder mind, half is for a basic tac pistol (taking ayoob advice, and reading into the next one) while it looks like the other half is already spent on newborn diapers. So, just had a daughter, better learn how to shoot better, or a least clean my guns better!

Why not add a dependent on your IRS forms at work, then at the end of the year you’ll owe the IRS a couple of hundred $$ and you’ll have had the extra cash all year?
An interest free loan from the IRS!
I’m thinking that in the coming conflict, which will start soon after the economic collapse, our enemies may come at us with attack poodles.
That calls for a poodleshooter (223 Rem). Some of the commenters above are ahead of me, having seen the need before now to defend against attack poodles, but I have always seen the need to defend against men, so up to now, I have invested in Main Battle Rifles.
But, as Defense Minister for my clan, I can see a coming need to defend against poodles, so I’m going to buy a Kel-Tec SU-16, which will do fine against those poodles, and any smaller varmints .
Chad, congrats to you, sir, on bringing a new shooter into the world (well, really congrats to your missus, who did 99.998% of the work).
Wow, I forgot to say, “class,” I’m taking a tac pistol class. The wife would crap if I was getting another gun!
Thanks for all the good words.
