(Economic Stimulus Check)

Hey, I got $600. Woo hoo!!!
For some reason, I only got 299.99. The tellers at the bank were baffled.
Woah.. I got 1200.. Was it teh married thing??
first. all of our money is belonging to failed economic policies. icanhasbailout?
I can has check? NO you made too much money and paid too much in taxes for the Govt to give any back. Kthnxbai.
I haven’t seen my stimulus check yet…
In bed.
He hasn’t seen anything (or anyone) else there either.
Oooooh, I have a shadow now? I shall call you Cuddles McSpakkey Pants or Cuddles for short.
Good point. Luckily my fiancee’ is there so I tend to forget about paperwork. Mmm, stimulus is such a fun word, especially when you add in bed to it.
I didn’t get one either, don’t feel bad.
Has anyone actually gotten one of these? Not the letter telling you you WOULD get a check, but the actual check?
Yes.
And spent it too, if you’re like me.
Months ago.
Well, then, where the h*ll is mine??!?!?
Seriously, what are the criteria for receiving one of these?
I’m pretty sure all the cool people get ours before the rest of you. Ahahaha, seriously though, I think it goes by SSN. Google stimulus check, there’s an IRS page you can go to to check the status of yours. I’d put the link here, but you know, this place eats links.
I swear you are trying to depress me. I shall do this thing that you mention and find out how screwed I am or that I have money coming. Too bad it won’t fix much.
It goes by ssn, but also by how you files your taxes. If you filed electronically, you’ll get it sooner. Of course, if you didn’t file, you don’t get one. You didn’t have to pay in, or even actually pay taxes(for those on welfare), but you did have to actually file.
I filed way back before the deadline and I didn’t see anything. :/
I don’t know, then. Curious….. maybe one of the welfare people got your $. I wouldn’t be surprised.
Somebody on Wall Street is stealing stimulus checks now? Damn thieving welfare bums.
I have discovered that I am just mentally vacant on the issue. We did get ours. There goes my wishful thinking of the government sending me a bailout or the pretense of a bailout. T_T
If you had your tax return done by direct deposit, then your stimulus check has already been deposited to the same account!
If you didn’t get a tax return…then you don’t get a stimulus check.
If you had your return check sent by snail mail, and still haven’t been sent your check by mail…there’s most likely a problem and you need to pursue it!
Back in June I think.
Actually they had on the news that just in the tri-county area I live in there was over $200,000 in unclaimed stimulus check’s. I think people only have until lie the 28th of October to send in the paper work to claim them or else it will be too late.
I got mine the same day that I got the letter saying it would be coming
Totally off-topic, but I just read something highly amusing. I was reading the police blotter section of my local newspaper, and evidently someone is going around stealing Obama campaign signs. But that’s not the part I find amazing… why would someone report their little lawn sign being stolen to the _police_??
Probably because it counts as campaign sabatoge and censorship.
That and it is theft technically. No better or worse than stealing lawn gnomes.
Lawn gnomes should be stolen. Then placed in compromising positions in pictures sent back to the former owners.
That reminds me of that movie Amelie – she steals her fathers garden nome and sends it around the world with a friend who sends pictures of it in exotic locations back to her father. Really nice movie if you don’t mind subtitles.
Isn’t that like the Roaming Gnome?
Yes, I think it could be!
We should hang out…
Too bad neither of those are crimes… at least nothing worth bothering the cops with. They should be out busting meth-heads who steal important stuff, like parts off your car while its still sitting in the drive way.
Yes, if someone didn’t rape and murder your mother and dog, there’s no purpose reporting it to the cops. Because the cops clearly should only go after the very worst crimes first. There’s only one cop, after all, there’s no way he could do more than one thing at a time.
I see your ridiculous strawman, and raise you a finger.
,,|,,
I will laugh and raise you a nickel.
Cops sit around all day in speeding traps eating donuts anyway.
They cost actual money this year: neither campaign are giving them away for free any more.
That’s sad on so many levels. Of course, not as sad as the guy two blocks down who has his fence and yard plastered in Ron Paul signs still.
Actually… I don’t hate Ron Paul. I don’t agree with more than 10% of what he says, but he seems sincere, thoughtful, and patriotic. Kind of the way Grampy McSame looked in 2000, before he ignored the attacks on his family and started sucking up to Bush II.
Well I was referring more to the fact that no Republican can win my state, let alone Ron Paul. And since he’s out of the race… well… having all those signs up seems really silly. Then again maybe its like christmas lights, just too hard to take em down. Though I do think he would have made an excellent VP choice. Would have made Thursday’s debate an embarassment for Biden, instead of it being the other way around like it is likely to be.
Well, one time we had this guy named Chocola (who my family called Count Chocula) running for Congress and it was a heated race because they had recently redrawn the district lines and they weren’t sure if it was going to go Democrat or Republican. Well Chocola was a republican (and friend of Bush) and a bunch of my friends stole a bunch of Chocola signs and stuck them in our coworker’s (who is so NOT a republican) yard one night. We still refer to that as the day they Chocola’d his house. Ahhhhhh, good times.
That’s not a Stimulus check. It’s dated in ’01.
who kept a check from ’01?
Hello! Photograph!
O hai! how r u ?
Its from the first baloney tax rebate…
So, just a ponder here… How much was our stimulus package compared to the bail out – that’d be an interesting factoid…
Well this package is the equivalent of $2000 for every American, the stimulus was $300 or $600 per taxpayer who made over a certain threshold, so it was probably extremely small compared to this bailout.
Must you depress me with your facts, good sir?
If I remember correctly, the stimulus $ came to around 28million.
And turns out the stimulus didn’t do shit for the economy either.
I got mine. I’m a minor, so my parents still claim me as a dependent. As a result, I got a check for $2 from good ol’ Uncle Sam. How much did it take for them to send the thing to me, I wonder?
I didn’t cash it. I’m going to frame the thing with a caption of “Government Waste.” Honestly, if I knew it was going to be that little, I would have just told them to keep it!
well, there was a way to calculate your amount before they sent it to you…
Seriously? I didn’t know that. How? I’ll have to do that and if it’s that little again, I’ll see if I can opt-out and not add to the national debt.

Look! I found a site where you can literally watch the national debt rise!
I think PK ate my comment, so I’m going to try again.
Really? I wish I’d known that. How do you do it? If it’s the same amount last year, I’m just going to tell them it’s cool, keep it.
Oh, and look what I found! You can watch the national debt rise in real-time!

And don’t ask me how, I did it myself months ago and then chucked the information in the proverbial trash when I found out I was getting the max anyway.
I have the same one from last year!
This is what happend to me (that’s why I made it!). I got my stimulus check, spent it, and a day or two ago I found out that my bank (WaMu) failed! Life imitates art…
I got mine many months ago, but I also sent my taxes in early Feb. $600 from the gubberment straight to the mortgage.
Bank error in your favor…
Help fight organized crime; the Government hates competition.
I have a question. Did anyone notice the date shown on the check?
Or is that even a date, or something else?
Its allright America. Your government is in control. Go back to sleep. Watch American Gladiators. Here is 54 Channels of it. Watch American Gladiators.
I love how the government is now going to pay down the debt with tarp money. Let me know how that makes sense.
