"You don't suppose MAYBE you got some facts wrong somewhere?"
I am supposing something is wrong somewhere, because I heard they were going to be scrambling to get these out by September. My mom swore it was "the" rebate check. And she for damn sure cashed a check from the IRS for $533. It wasn't a tax overpayment refund, because she didn't have a refund coming. She also said there were quite a few people cashing these things. I just got back from vacation, so I'll try and track down more of the specifics ASAP. If anybody else has received one of these, I'd like to know.
BTW, trying to have the Dems take any credit for this makes me want to puke. Son of a mofo bitch! :| That is beyond irritating! They dragged their feet and squawked and moaned that it was too much, yada yada... God knows it ain't your money to start with, right? Puhleeeeeeeze!
