Does anuone else think these rebates are a joke?

Seriously, $600 is going to make a difference in my standard of living.
I'm sure many need and welcome it. But isn't borrowing more money to try
to boost the economy kind of like giving a drunk another drink to try to
get him sober?

Or am I just getting as curmudgeonly as OS?
