I figured since everyone else is going on about the stimulus rebates, I would add my thoughts about it too. Like everyone else, when Bush mentioned getting the stimulus rebates, I thought it was great. Who couldn’t use some extra money but now with all the drama going on with it, the only thing it is stimulating in me is frustration.

I have been keeping up with it all---the IRS website as well as articles on Yahoo explaining the scheduled payment plan for which they are now LATE to their mistake of sending people’s checks to the wrong bank accounts or not including the extra money for the children. Hmm, wonder what they’re smoking over there at the IRS?

I know I sound desperate, I am, so are plenty of other people because we have plans for the money when it finally does show up. I think Bush and the economy may be greatly disappointed. They expect people to rush out and buy food. Some probably will while others will be trying to catch up on past due bills. I won’t be doing either. I fantasized about spending it on myself but being the Capricorn that I am, I will go the logical route and will use it where it is needed most----getting the car legal. And it still won’t be legal but it will get me closer to the goal. I am going to need a legal car soon to get me to those out of town appointments.

The whole ordeal is frustrating but at times comical. It is frustrating because it is almost like the IRS is dangling an imaginary carrot in front of people who are desperate for this money. Desperate people will do desperate things. The comical side is the IRS is quick to catch someone who owes them money but slow to give it out.
