American Tax Rebate
The economic stimulus plot, or tax rebate, for the year 2010, is being pointed out as a cash influx by a few economists who say this is what causes inflation and erodes spending power.
The snail's pace of the economy was intended to be boosted through the rebate on U.
S.
income taxes.
This came about as consumer confidence fell to the lowest level since 1982.
As the money gets into the pockets of the people, 120 to 130 million households in America will be enriched.
The hope of the federal government is that the money that people receive will be spent on stuff they need, or on things they desire.
Retailers who have been disappointed by the recent holiday spending of the middle class families in America are hoping to acquire more business cash from the economic stimulus package and are offering a 10% incentive bonus on gift cards that have been purchased using a rebate check.
This means that a $600 gift card will be worth $660 from some retailers.
To some recession conscious Americans this may appear to be a good deal.
On the whole, the American people are giving mixed signals about their intentions for the money.
Most people indicate they will simply put the money in the bank, or pay down existing debts, instead of investing in consumerism in a sudden burst of frenzied spending.
Economists believe there is a huge gap between what people say they intend to do with the free money and what they end up really doing with it.
Once it is in a person's hands or bank accounts they may decide to do anything with the found cash.
If you filed your 2007 income tax electronically then you will be among the first who will begin receiving rebates this week.
The rebate process is starting two weeks earlier than originally planned because the government wants to see the economy lifted up before summer vacation time begins.
Pessimism is running rampantly through the economists chat lines because they do not believe the consequences of this economic stimulus will have any lasting effect and they are calling it misguided.
They concur that the basic problem is that the money seems to appear out of nowhere like a free gift, but paybacks will come later when the government collects it back again in some other form.
This kind of sudden money also causes people to be less productive and ambitious, giving them a sense of security that is false, or even a sense of wealth.
It ends up being anti-productive and counterfeit and also sets up a false sense that the government will take care of you which is bad for the citizens to believe.
Many economists fear that inflation will be the end result of this American tax rebate or economic stimulus.
Cash influxes are the main cause of inflation and only erode spending power.
This is nothing more than a thinly disguised act of printing more cash which increases the federal deficit, according to Stan Collender, a budget expert.
