How much did this cost us?

[margotb822]

My SO got his "stimulus check notification" in the mail today. Just your fiscally conservative government wasting more money to tell us that we're going to be getting some money, but only if we poor people file our taxes. Dang, what a waste!

1. 42 million spent on the notification.

Begging the perpetual rhetorical question: Isn't there anything else better on which the money could have been spent?

3. I'm seriously about to pull my hair out

The news is spreading word about the checks for free, and yet, we still need to send the checks?

Yes, there are many better things we could have spent that money on (and the trillions that have been wasted in the past seven years). Talk about waste, fraud and abuse!

2. I'd guess it cost about as much as

The bill for 30 seconds worth of the Iraq occupation.

4. Too much

I hear they don't even say anything specific, just to expect a check of an undetermined amount at an undetermined date in the future.

What a waste of $42 million. Very free with OUR money, aren't they?
