According to a Democratic survey, the rebates will go to 117
million families. An analysis by Congress' Joint Tax Committee says
more than 70 percent of the rebates will go to individuals who pay
taxes.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Congress will act on the

Aides say the rebates, expected to go out in June, will cost about
100 billion dollars.
The deal comes after intense negotiations between Pelosi,
Republican Leader John Boehner and Treasury Secretary Henry
Paulson.
