Yeah. Had Target been out of the Phillips-Magnavox I picked up, I would have gone ahead and ponied up for the Samsung. I think most of the big box stores dropped their prices on them at the same time.
yeah, I figure as much, but I still want to see what scraps are left.
a 32" samsung sounds good.......and that's an lcd, right?

obama is not happy some of this money is going to corp bonuses.....fkn lame this aint stimulating besides rewarding top lvl management for their failures.....
I can't believe anyone got a bonus after driving his business into the ground. Just another example how out of touch these people and companies are.
You're a real trooper. President Obama will thank you for your sacrifice. A new TV in every american bedroom is very important.
So what are you doing with your check?
I won't get one.
Will you do anything with your continued tax cut?
If Obama keeps his word, and I expect he will, then I think I will see somewhere around an $800/month tax increase. Which would be tolerable I suppose. If he was lying, it will be more and that's what I'm afraid of.
I was under the impression he was going to leave the tax cuts in place for now.
He's indicated that but politically I don't think he will be able to stand against the far left like Pelosi.
Even uber-liberal financial sages like Reich and Krugman say it's no time to raise taxes or repeal cuts. Taxes will go up, but probably not before GDP growth in the range of 2-3% is reestablished. We may not get there in Obama's first term.
Well the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010 and there's no way they get renewed. Despite all the class warfare they were in fact across the board tax cuts. So he will have to come up with something in his first term, which is a big problem from my perspective. Obama has promised 95% tax rates even lower than under Bush. The elite will always buy their loop holes. That leaves the so called "rich" like me as the only target. I would prefer they stop with the "tax the rich" rhetoric and just say "tax the upper middle class" or "tax the middle class without debt" but that doesn't have the same political punch.
Good point, Snake.
So, if I'm "rich", are the people in Stone Oak and Boerne and Leon Springs "filthy rich"?
I thought it was established in the other thread that you're just upper middle class, and BradLoHaus pointed out that people making $10 million a year -- comparatively speaking, right -- are not really that rich.
WWSBD with a rebate? give it to charity? better yet....be a super patriot and give it back to the federal government?
I'm still playing with a PS2.......maybe it's time to upgrade to the PS3.
by the sound of it, I've got the best of both worlds over Darrin......
I have the serious misfortune of living in Stone Oak. I cannot wait to move back inside of 1604.

Well, that area has become an ocean of rooftops. Unfortunately, when a nice part of town gets devloped, a lot of people will flock to that area. Currently, that new "hot spot" is 281 North. Every day when I see that long, slow train of traffic heading north into their suburban utopia, it always reminds me of what it would look like if the entire population of SA was trying to evacuate on a two-lane highway.
It's bad enough for me going down Stone Oak Py every day, but 281 North past 1604 is pure . Until they expand the highway and create overpasses to avoid those damn lights at Evans and Encino Rio, you couldn't pay me to live out there.
Honestly, just about anything north of 1604 from roughly Bulverde Rd west to Culebra Rd might be considered a "hot spot".
HEB owns the property at the NW corner of Bulverde/1604 so it's just a matter of time before that intersection explodes too.
I work by the airport and I used to drive 281 past 1604 and do the turnaround at Sonterra blvd, but the traffic is too much these days. Now, I take several back roads just to avoid it.
$819b is not going to solve the economies problems...
look at the 2 big banks....they have $5.4trillion combine in derivatives.....
Thats why I am not worried when Obama s it up. What makes everyone sick is what these people are doing with the money. Citigroup bought a 50 million dollar plane. I think a 12 seater. From FRANCE no less. Lots of these storys will come out and the Goverment cannot do a damn thing. Thats the sick part. No telling how many politicians are going to be rich from this money.

The big conundrum is how to make money when you overpay for dingle.
If the government takes too big a bite out of the banks in the targeted asset categories, it can create default. We have to overpay, or the banks might fail.
Australias PM just released a AUS$42billion stimulus package today....
only problem i have with the packages so far from every country is the creation of jobs are in sectors that doesnt make up for the losses in a significant sector like banking/commerce.
seriously they keep on telling us to spend when we dont even know teh future of our jobs, how about when they keep on sugarcoating about house prices and decrease rates...good time to buy for first home buyers. wtf am ima go purchase a house so construction workers keep there jobs, while office workers like me dont even know if tommarow i still have a job, seriously the stimulus package is d up.
