but who knows, if i was 100% sure about this i would be working for the govt, not going to college LOL
Good point.

The recession is coming, sooner or later our debt will get us, since we are the largest debtor nation in the world at the current time. Even with an incentive such as those, it would help.

We sliding into a recession; but this a consumer driven recession and not a business driven similar to that of the Great Depression.
