WASHINGTON — Democratic and Republican congressional leaders reached a tentative deal Thursday on tax rebates of $300 to $1,200 per household and business tax cuts to jolt the slumping economy.

Congressional officials close to the negotiations said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio reached agreement in principle in a telephone call Thursday morning.

The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the two wanted key members of their parties to sign off on the approximately $150 billion accord before any announcement.

You only got one kid....300 for you, 300 for wife and 300 for Scout = 900

[LUconn]

I'll have another one in April. Will I get $300 more? This is probably based on 2007 figures. Dern.

[LUconn]

Individuals who pay income taxes would get up to $600, working couples $1,200 and those couples with children an additional $300 per child under the deal

So $1200 plus $300 per child? Sounds like I'll make out like a bandit.

oh wait

The rebates would be limited to individuals whose income is $75,000 or less and working couples with incomes $150,000 or less.

I guess you can count me out. Curse my income.

Individuals who pay income taxes would get up to $600, working couples $1,200 and those with children an additional $300 per child under the agreement. Workers who make at least $3,000 but don't pay taxes would get $300 rebates.

I think it means kids are an additional few bucks.

So what if you're single and make around 30k? Any rebate for me?

[LUconn]

$600 for you!

[kel varson]

Yeah


Now I can bills.

[LUconn]

facebook him. His bosses haven't figured out yet that he's leaking like crazy through that outlet.

My big question is whether or not they consider folks who are self-employed to be fully employed. That distinction is very important in the Sly household.
