FTC Tells CompUSA to Pay Up QPS Rebates
prostoalex writes "FTC told CompUSA they will have to keep their word on paying out rebates for QPS equipment purchased at CompUSA. QPS is currently bankrupt, according to the article, although it's not clear whether they went out of business before or after the promised 6-8 weeks deadline came. CBS MarketWatch says this should spur rebate re-evaluation among other electronic retailers. The habit of offering rebate incentives seems be especially notorious in the consumer electronics and computer hardware industries as a third of shoppers for such goods bought a product with a rebate offered. Reason for such popularity? 41% of shoppers never send in their rebates."
Hey, I didn't vote for the idiot.
I'm guessing by the tone of your post that you don't care for Bush (or the Republicans). The real question is (since all he is doing is signing the bill congress sent him), did you vote for any of the 18 Democratic senators that voted FOR the bill:
Bayh (D-IN) Bingaman (D-NM) Cantwell (D-WA) Carper (D-DE) Conrad (D-ND) Dodd (D-CT) Feinstein (D-CA) Johnson (D-SD) Kohl (D-WI) Landrieu (D-LA) Lieberman (D-CT) Lincoln (D-AR) Nelson (D-NE) Obama (D-IL) Reed (D-RI) Rockefeller (D-WV) Salazar (D-CO) Schumer (D-NY)

How about the 50 Democratic representatives that also voted for passage of the bill:
Baird Bean Berry Boren Boucher Boyd Case Chandler Cooper Costa Costello Cramer Cuellar Davis (AL) Davis (IL) Davis (TN) Edwards Emanuel Ford Gonzalez Gordon Harman Higgins Hinojosa Holden Kanjorski Kind Larsen (WA) Larson (CT) Lipinski Marshall Matheson Meeks (NY) Melancon Michaud Moore (KS) Moran (VA) Murtha Peterson (MN) Pomeroy Rahall Reyes Ruppersberger Scott (GA) Smith (WA) Snyder Tanner Tauscher Taylor (MS) Wu

Or did you conveniently forget that there is more to the government than just the President?
