With the economy the No. 1 issue just eight weeks from Election Day, majority-party Democrats are trying to push a second stimulus package through Congress to follow the tax rebate checks sent out earlier this year.

As millions of taxpayers await rebate checks, others find themselves with two

"Even as millions of people are anxiously checking their mailboxes and bank accounts for their stimulus payments, others have received more than their fair share."

Deal completed for tax rebates in June

"Congressional leaders completed a deal Thursday with the White House on an economic stimulus package that would give most tax filers refunds of $600 to $1,200, and more if they have children."
