A Tax Rebate Alternative

I’m hearing more and more about people who have been lucky enough to have received their tax stimulus checks and are either banking them, using them to pay off credit card debt, or just plain using them to pay regular bills.

We all know that is not the intended use of the money.  And I have to wonder when I hear people say they are using the money on a mortgage payment or cable bill, etc., how they were going to pay those bills in the first place?  We’re not talking about a huge windfall here.

Pat Grier, a writer for the Christian Science Monitor has come up with his own idea on just who should be getting tax rebate checks.  Individuals who wouldn’t bat an eye when it came to putting the money back into the economy. 

It’s a novel idea.
