Bush and House in Accord for $150 Billion Stimulus - New York Times

House Democrats countered that their package would send more money to low-income workers than an increase in food stamps, and they pointed to a projection that 35 million families would receive one-time payments of $300, even though they did not earn enough money to pay income taxes. Under the deal, tax filers who earned at least $3,000 last year, but paid less than $300 in income tax, would receive the $300.
More of the same. Those who paid less than $300 should only get back what they paid. Why give them more than they put in? That's just free money (as if there ever was such a thing).
