This economy is really scary! $53.00 isn't bad at all, but mine won't get that low again until around April or May depending on the weather.

People saved it or paid down bills. And it was a failure. Did they learn from this? Apparently not. And, this rebate isn't coming until MAY! How will that help most people who are trying to pay heating and energy costs NOW, in the midst of the winter? Or pay their tax bills, which are due April 15?

But the thing is that while politicians assume the rebate is going to be used for shopping, it may just be used to pay bills, which will not stimulate the economy the way they are intending. President Bush and Congress are assuming that this money will be considered "disposable income" when it really is not. A lot of people are really hurting.
