It's part of his plan. There's going to be a recession regardless. Shit is gonig to hit the fan, and in a big way. This is just the beginning of it. He's trying to sucker everyone into trusting him by giving them a rebate. Which in turn will throw the government into a recession, and they will have to do the same shit they did when the stock market crashed and brought out a depression. And of course the Federal Reserve Bank will be gladly handing out money to help out, at interest, further putting the States into debt. Next they will introduce the Amero, praise the "war on terror", raise more bullshit lies about that, get more money directed toward the war "efforts", waste much more time, and assimilate most of the United States of America. They will look to Canada for support, in which our idiot leaders will comply, since they're hurting in the manufacturing department, and need an easy out. The agreement for the implimentation of the Amero will be two thirds(2/3) complete, and all attention will then be focused on South America to join. Which will be easy anyway.
This will be the beginning of a one world currency, which will make borderless countries, bring down the U.N. and make it possible for human rights to be obscurred.
Welcome to the beginning of a global domination by immoral facists who want nothing more than money.
