I question how much of the retailers will get of the rebate check... Most people that I talk to (lower income, say <$30K) say it will go to bills already generated... And come on it's only $300-600 smacks... The consumer is so tapped and getting worried about the economy I think it will go directly to bills (if they were smart)... IMO

<<the retailers will likely benefit from the tax rebate>> Unless it's already been spent and is sitting on J4P's credit card balance as we speak...after all, the news has been out for a while, and J4P is hardly a model in fiscal restraint. I spent my extra 10 bucks a week (from the cut)on a movie (without popcorn). Unfortunately, I took my kid to see Cats and Dogs, so with his ticket, I went over budget. Guess I'll have to cut back on something else next week....<G>
