lol if ya'll check out irs.gov u can find out what date your gettin your stimulus package on. it goes by da last 2 of your social as to what date your check will arrive. also its based on whether your tax return was direct deposit or check in da mail. direct deposit folks get there check 1st. sorry for semi hi-jackin thread my fault. just thought everyone should know

Nah way man- The U.S. readers need to know so we can get set to blow it on gear!
I personally think the stimulus idea is ridiculous. It should be re-named the "help incumbent politicians get re-elected" bill. This November they'll all be pointing that they got us $600. It's not like there was a tax surplus & they're giving it back to us- it's essentially printing money (borrowing from foreign banks), a pathetic band-aid to a larger problem the U.S. is facing.

L.O.L. at the letters they sent everybody telling them their check will be arriving in a couple months- how much did that cost?

That said I'mma take that shit with a smile though!

well said!!!!

I still can't believe they think a one-time 600$ check will solve anything... It's not even a band-aid for the problems, 600$ is by far not enough for that, right?

Anyways, as the euro has passed 1,60 dollar, I don't mind investing in some American stores to get good deals.... but apart from that, the whole situation is just extremely sad.

Wow... they actually flushed away $42 million for that? What a waste...
