You haven't received a stimulus check from Obama, let alone one you have to pay back. You have received a payroll tax cut from Obama. Bush gave you a stimulus check, but you didn't have to pay it back.
??? Bush did that - Bush enacted and gave the first corporate bailouts.
Now, the Dems have proposed a tax on those large bonuses (which was included in the original law, that there has to be some legal provision enacted to get the money back), but the Repubs are screaming against that tax.

the first 'stimulus' a few years back from bush, turned out to be an advance on a tax credit. that's what i was referring to when i said it messed up my taxes.
as for the tax on banks obama suggested...it always sounds nice when they say the big, bad corps are going to have to pay out, but we all know who ends up paying the extra. companies aren't going to alter their bottom line, so any other fees they have to pay will get passed on to us, the consumer.
