Govt. stimulus check?

[ginzokid]

Anybody get their stimulus check yet? I'm still waiting. According to the schedule posted by the govt. my check should be "in the mail" on June 6th. Just wondering if anyone has received one yet. B-) PS: What will you use it for? Gas maybe? -- Edited by ginzokid at 06/03/2008 5:02 AM PDT _________________________________________________ from the IRS site: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179211,00.html What is it? It's an economic stimulus payment that more than 130 million households will receive starting in May. It's not taxable, and it won't reduce your 2007 or 2008 refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return. -- Edited by crazyd37 at 06/03/2008 9:27 AM PDT

What the hell is a stimulus check, is it some check of your stimulus or something, maybe a check of your stimulation??????? ]:)

Gene, Is it based on your income or just a flat figure for everyone? Barry, As if the US govt. wasn't far enough in debt, they just printed some more money and sent it out to everyone who filed taxes. The money is supposed to "stimulate" the economy. :^O

Petw, Variable flat figure. Some get $600 and some $300 (for people who live on SS - the ones that need it the most get the least!!) and $300 for each dependent child. (I think prin The Wonderkind qualifies!- at least until they catch up to you). Gene -- Edited by g-pa1 at 06/03/2008 9:42 AM PDT

Barry, Maybe if you talk to the right politician you can become a virtual illegal alien and get all kinds of free stuff as well as voter registration without leaving Australia! Charles

Now they went and did it. Well, maybe not quite yet, but they will do it to us again. You know that $700 mil bailout? Remember the stimulus check? They want it back! PLUS! B-)
