Economic Stimulus Act Rebate Checks - Ha!

When they did the same thing a few years ago, everybody else got a check - we got a letter. It stated that we were too poor and didn't make enough money to qualify for a rebate check. Guess the checks really weren't for poor people. No matter, we know how to live without a lot of things, and we sure didn't need some stupid check from the government.

Fast forward to this rebate check. In the mail comes - you guessed it - our LETTER. Almost the same, but with a slightly different twist this time. It stated that we will indeed be getting a government rebate check, but we are too poor and don't make enough money to be eligible for the full amount - our check will be half of what all the people reading this will get. No matter, we don't need it anyway.

I think it's foolish to try to stimulate the economy by putting this country even further into debt. The money for all those checks has to come from somewhere. I won't be sending mine back though. Oh well, who am I to say how this country should operate. I'm too poor to even qualify for the same check that everyone else gets! Ha ha!
