Are you excited about the rebate checks?

Of course I don't know if or how much we'll get, but free money is always fun. I'm talking about the tax rebate checks that were approved recently.

I was excited till I took the time to read about the rebate checks. It is not free money.

I guess the easiest way to think about it is an advance on this years (08) tax return. Whatever you get now will be deducted from your next tax return.

Really? How so?
