I should do something sensible with the dough if it comes through. But I'd really like a new amp.

I think the vast majority of people are gonna do just that.

And depending on when I am in the studio next, I may also be doing the same thing.

Yeah and after all, it was our money to begin with. Money that we worked hard for, money that we earned.

I'll actually probably use it to help fund my move into a different apartment in the summer.

Maybe in your case. There are a lot of people who are paying NO taxes who are getting the 'rebate.'

I'd be willing to bet that most Americans will be spending theirs.

If I read correctly, then I will be well over the income limit. No "free money" for me......

I thought Bush had a good line in his State Of The Union speech.

"Others have said they would personally be happy to pay higher taxes. I welcome their enthusiasm. I’m pleased to report that the IRS accepts both checks and money orders."

Well, they are giving the refund to people who haven't paid taxes. You haven't paid US taxes, so you should meet that requirement..........
