    My stimulus check has convinced me that my government really cares about me and I've completely forgotten about the huge crime they are helping the oil industry commit on the working poor (formerly, the middle class). My soul is now embellished with $600 worth of warm fuzzy feelings that will undoubtedly inspire me to find a musket/bayonet combo and fight to have King George Bushed to be installed as Emperor for life.

    I will go ahead and quit my job once my check arrives.

    I will refer to my working life as "before I got the 600 dollars"

    I'm spending my money on magic mushrooms because it's a non taxable luxury item.

    $600 is not to be sneezed at though.







    Unless you blow it all on coke.

    I wonder what percentage of this stimulus will end up in criminal hands.

    I mean that's where it came from anyway.

    BTW, does everybody over 18 get the same amount or how does it work?

    A LOT will end up in dealers hands I am sure, Chinese money headed straight to the US black market

    Everyone who filed taxes and made less than a certain amount gets a check, but the amounts seem to vary from around 300-600. The odd thing is it seems like the more you make the more youg get back, uop to a certain amount, then you get nothing.

    i could be wrong, buts thats how I understood it

    I am grateful for my corperate welfare cover up check...which I haven;t got yet...booooo. If they would have mailed it sooner or I didn't owe I may have forgotten all of the oil market subsidies or how medicare won't pay for the kids I work with to get their chipped teeth fixed even though they get made fun of for it on a daily basis.

    Man...I am lucky to be an american.

    I was told I will get $300 but I am not counting on it at all.

    I think I would just use it for more stuff for the new place.
