Thanks Congress, I am $600 Richer

It is always a good bipartisan measure to put an extra $600 in my pocket.

The Senate's 81-16 vote capped more than a week of political maneuvering.
The logjam broke when majority Democrats dropped their demand that rescue
proposal offer jobless benefits, heating aid for the poor and tax breaks for the
home building and energy industries.GOP senators blocked those ideas, but
agreed to add $300 rebates for older people and disabled veterans to a $161
billion measure the House passed last week.

I think I'll use mine to either buy a Blue Ray DVD player or maybe defray the cost of a new laptop. Or maybe I'll simply mess up the system and save it.
