College Students Don’t Get a Stimulus Check?

It seems that my age group (I’m 19) fell between the cracks. If your under 17 your parents get a $300 addition on their rebate check…okay…. But because I’m over 17 and filled out a tax return, where I made over 3k, but i was also claimed on my parent’s as a dependent (i still live at home, go to school, but hold a job) neither me nor my parents get a check. It took me 2 hours of reading to figure this out.

If Bush’s plan was to “stimulate” the economy with these checks, Why would he leave out this huge college aged group, Isn’t this demographic most likely to spurge it on consumer goods?

Just a thought.

    I am 22 and just graduated college . I managed to work full-time, go to school and pay for my car, insurance, ect…

    I decided to live with my parent to save money while I was in college. Because I was a student and living with my parents I was filed as a dependant and will not receve a stimulus check even though I made well over the required rate. When I look at the other people and other situation where a check is recieved, I feel denied my hard earned money. For example, someone who is uneducated, economicly unstimulating, and living of unemployment barly made $3, 000 a year will recieve a stimulus check. But a college student who lives at home will not. Receving the stimulus check would help me and other students pay for student loans, which would actually help stabalize the economy.

    Bush…u stuped jack ass
