As far as the government sending the 2 letters via snail mail - I can't even begin to think about what that money could have done to help in other areas of the economy. Hell, anyone that reads the news could see the stimulus check referenced 100,000 times anywhere you look... Thanks for stopping by, and best of luck at the new job! @George – I’m sorry to hear about your situation, but it sounds like you’re still moving to a job that has something to cook up in the new city.

Then there was an additional letter letting those that qualified know that they would be receiving the money. Then there was the actual check, for those who did not file electronically. What's roughly a dollar fifty times (for instance) 200 million? I made $23,647 in ‘07 (a record low for me over the past eighteen years or so) and have paid my taxes diligently over the years since I entered the workforce. I am a single dad with one dependent- a 4 year old son. Despite the fact that my construction company is failing and I’m in the pre-process of filing bankruptcy, I didn’t qualify for any economic stimulus money. Now I hear we might be receiving a tax cut or some token amount of money to save us from foreclosure. A little late for me. I’ll lose the house sometime in the next twelve months. In these coming hard times I’m shutting down my company (which employed 3-11 employees for the past eighteen years and about the same subcontractors at any given time- all of them locally born and raised, incidentally) and selling pretty much everything. My son and I are moving to the city where I have a job waiting and have family who can watch him during the day, this last year until he enters our substandard public education system. From there I suppose I will continue to observe our government catering to the big money in this country while pretending to listen to their constituency. Why? Because my vote doesn’t mean a thing when the only way you can get on the ballot is to play ball with the big money.
