Today, in the mail, I found a fresh letter straight from the Department of the Treasury. It turns out I am lucky enough to qualify for oh-so-wonderful economic stimulus rebate. What makes it even better, is that I should absolutely expect to receive my rebate by May 16th. As in Friday, May 16th, 2008. As in 3 days before today.
In reality, it’s a good thing that my rebate is late; I’m just really not sure how to fulfill my role as a stimulator.

I was informed that I owe another $169 as a penalty for not sending estimated taxes for 2007… After that can get my $600 check. Yippee.
Considering the falling value of the dollar and inflation, it really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to save the $600. I ought to use it as part of a down payment for a loan that I’ll never pay back.
