More. $165.63 more to be exact. so, now im sitting with $8,165.63 because i made interest on the 8,000, i guess. haha

anyways, anybody else take advantage of the credit?

i dont like Obama either, but would you really turn down the opportunity if you bought or built a house?

as i see it, we are going to be paying for Obamas outrageous spending here in the near future anyways so why not get your share of the action before he takes more out of me?

Im totally in agreement but $8,000 is alot of money, you would have to be quite pissed at obama to refuse 8 grand (plus interest)

its a credit on your taxes for last year or this year. but since i paid last years taxes i owe nothing. so i took the credit for last years taxes, therefore im looking (physically) at my check right now.

and it came from everybodys taxes, i know its not free money. duh

what i'm saying is for good public services that work money is need and it comes from tax and lets face it no one likes paying taxes.

to be fair obama is gunna tax you for increases in public spending elsewhere, expenditures which are pretty autonomous to healthcare.

You said you hated this "socialist bullshit" so your solution is to move to Norway. Your political views are startlingly consistent.

ahahah what a waist of American money.

people buying shit they couldnt afford was the start of this mess and now Obama is sending you personal checks to keep the over consumption happening. Great insetives he's giving the country, great economic policy!! he already forgot all the information you learn in introduction to macro economics.

Were to? Essentially all of the first world has some form of universal health care, aside from the USA... maybe when you are old enough to have to actually support yourself you will see why universal health care is beneficial...

if you are only 17 i highly doubt you are a credible source on the worst events in US history... im not trying to belittle you, it just seems a little bit of a stretch. and as far as people complaining about your tax money going to others in the form of credits for buying/building a house... i feel like it is alot better than many other things our tax dollars are spent on, right?

Is it still socialized if the Senate bill doesn't have a public option? The way I see it, there are a lot of good things to come from the bill as well (i.e. companies banned from denying coverage to those with preexisting conditions). It seems to be a pretty good compromise overall from what I've seen of it.

dude. you're so retarded it's not even funny. do you even have any idea how much debt your previous president put you in? i'm sorry but i'd taxe the shit out of you too so that people wouldn't bomb my fucking country. you're ignorance is absolutely so painful to read. you and your fellow dickwad americans keep digging your whole so damn deep , your ears are covered in shit, thus why you're likely too fucking stupid to realize anything remotely logical.

all new countries are founded on socialist systems and they work. you probably aren't even old enough to understand taxes, and you probably come fro ma rich family too and you're parents probably shouldn't complain about taxes because i'm sure they barely pay any, and that the poor people on the other side of town pay just as much if not more than them. that's illogical.


the worst thing to happen to the us was george bush, and if you can't see beyond your thick skull maybe you need to open a book and shut the hell up.


and once again, as a fucking canadian, i have no qualms with my fucking health care and i don't mind spending every last dime on my society. apparently though, you all seem to think countries run on no money at all.

I only read the first sentence and I have to call you a complete fucking retard. It's not JUST the president. Think about every other politician. Can you name a single honest one?

And I'm done with politics for this month.

Buy gold I mean glen beck tells us to so it must be true. Or invest in a more stable currency if your afraid of an impending crash. Chinas going to stop keeping the value of their currency low someday soon.

But to the OP im glad someone is getting something from the gov. maybe someday they support college students

-closed guantanamo
- was smart enough to think "hey maybe we should try talking and negotiating to the arabs and muslims, instead of blowing them the fuck up"
- Has almost succeeded in passing universal health care, which almost every other fucking industrialized country has.
- Killed pirates. How many pirates did Bush kill? 0
-Passed the largest stimulus bill in US history. And all of you just say that its the taxpayers money blah blah spending spending. If you actually knew anything about macroeconomics you would know that deficit spending how we can get out of this god damn recession.
-Sent 21,000 troops to afghanistan, which is where we should have been in the first place. When we invaded iraq there were NO al-queda there. None at all, nor were there any "weapons of mass destruction"
-He severely diminished the role of lobbyists in the senate, which was really fucking needed.
-He lifted the Bush restrictions on stem cell research

do your research before you go around making stupid statements. Before he can do any good, he has to fix everything that that dumbass Bush did.

I dont think he realizes that once mom and dad are out of the picture that the way insurance is completly unaffordable for most young people starting their career. Its a tough choice between paying for it and going with out it. Also that fact that some companies policy to deny everything first then make you appeal the decision is bullshit.
