My Plague Payment is on the Way!

[DoggyDaddy]

I was wondering if names might have something to do with it. Last name starts with an E.

Angry Eooster?

 

[mom45]

Got a similar update but mine said the 29th.

Angry Eooster?

Angry Eooster?

Are you spying on me via my webcam again???

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Are you spying on me via my webcam again???

Again? "Again" would imply that I ever stopped!

Was that last sentence part of the IRS message or an editorial comment?

LETS SEE HOW LONG THIS TAKES was my input, not the IRS.

Just checked today, same reply. I will get it, it has not been sent yet, they will update me when it is coming.

Just checked the website and it now says mine will be deposited this Thursday, April 30th.

We have been stimulated!

 

[El Conquistador]

Got ours today. I plan on adding some to it and send it back to pay last years taxes.

 

[ws6guy]

Got stimulated...now to stimulate a painter to do the exterior of the house, I hate painting

 

[femurphy77]

CHA-CHING!

We can't decide if we want to stimulate our Edward Jones account or our mortgage bank.

Despite having already received payment via direct deposit, today I received a printed letter from the Dept. of Treasury to let me know I had received my payment.

I can't help but wonder how much it costs in paper, printing, envelopes and postage to mail out 10s if not hundreds of millions of letters that will end up in the trash 10 seconds after they're opened.

I got that letter yesterday! At first I thought, "They're sending me another payment?" since it said my payment was "on its way" nearly 2 weeks after I had received it. Maybe they were following the same guidelines as public speaking. Tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em, tell 'em, then tell 'em what you told 'em.

spent mine

Probably going to spend most, if not all and more, of mine tomorrow. Annual shots and heartworm/flea meds for the critters (2 dogs and a cat).

Too many people had their tax refunds direct deposited and therefore their stimulus check followed the same path, never seeing the "courtesy of Donald J. Trump" that the check recipients did. Thus the need for a personal letter from the President, mine was signed by Trump.
As for the cost, while not insignificant it is a drop in the ocean of the $3.5 Trillion fed give away in the last 2 weeks.

Its kinda ironic that Trump recently complained that the Postal Service loses money delivering for Amazon. This is the largest franking privilege mailing in history. Maybe this will create enough PO budget imbalance to finally sink it.

 

[mom45]

I think the letter is probably not a bad thing since some payments went to accounts in the names of the tax preparing service rather than the taxpayer.

We got ours this morning. I know at least one coworker that got hers today as well.

 

[Dr.Midnight]

I got mine yesterday too. I tucked it away in the savings account for a month or two down the road. Unless a catastrophe happens, I'll be putting those funds towards a new paver walkway from my garage to the house.

Or get it back on track. I mean, if we're Constitutionalist, this is one thing that is an explicit service of govt.


Up till now, any cost savings have been nixed. The USPS has to get spending under control, but Congress ties their hands.


An easy cost savings would be to end weekend service.

Ugh! Don't remind me. We usually partake of the clinic the 4H kids put on every year but with 3 labs it's still expensive. Not to mention the extras for 2 senior dogs, one's blind, one has a permanent trach. Never a dull moment.
