(Where is that middle finger icon)

thank you!

:beer:

If it ends up working like it is intended to then you will be thanking us for spending it. I'm not claiming that it will or won't mind you, but there is nothing wrong with hoping for the best. What else are we going to do at this point? It's not like anyone is going to convince the govt. to not send out the checks.

Did you complain when Bush's first tax cuts helped you more than it did the poor? I though it was satisfying enough having a large paycheck? Maybe someday I'll make it up to your level so then I can complain about money more often.

I told my wife about the stimulus and she didn't believe me. Sooooo, she won't know that I'm going to put 1200 toward our student loans.

What she doesn't know doesn't hurt her.... haha

Does your wife live under a rock? She never watches the news or reads the newspaper?

No kidding. It's not like he was going to see any of the money back if the govt. decided not to send out the checks. At least they are trying to fix things for all of us including the rich. None of us are in a good position right now even if we do quality for the stimulus.

My savings account is not as big as it should be due to some unexpected car repairs a few months ago, so this will make up the difference.

i just simply have to *get * my car repaired. :(

Those who pay the lions share of taxes, something like 90% of all taxes, will get nothing.

This is nothing more than robbing from the rich to feed the poor, and by rich I mean middle class.

That is not it's intention. You know what the real purpose is intended to be whether you predict that it will be successful or not. By the way, how are your investments and retirement plans doing? I for one would like to see mine doing better. I imagine that the rich would like to see their stocks start to climb as well.

Same here. Argh!!!

Most of us paid more than $600 in taxes this past year. We are only getting a percentage of our own money back. We are not getting any of yours.

That's what they're hoping you don't do with it. It can't stimulate anything unless you buy something with it.

Now do your patriotic duty and buy a big TV :D

I don't think so. I believe that letter was only intended to be informative about the details of how things were going to work.

Anyone know in what order are they going to distribute the money? by SS numbers or whoever file first etc?
Doing some math, if the government does 7.4 million people a week, it would take 17.5 weeks to pay all 130 million people that file for taxes.

WHEN YOU'LL GET YOUR REBATE
The order in which the IRS sends out payments will be based on Social Security numbers. If your return is processed by April 15, here's what you can expect.
Direct deposit payment
If last 2 digits of your SS# are: Your rebate should be sent by:
00-20 May 2
21-75 May 9
76-99 May 16
Paper check
If last 2 digits of your SS# are: Your rebate should be sent by:
00-09 May 16
10-18 May 23
19-25 May 30
26-38 June 6
39-51 June 13
52-63 June 20
64-75 June 27
76-87 July 4
88-99 July 11
