Direct deposit is the way to go. I got my $1800 two weeks ago.

Mine is direct deposit. I was expecting 1800 two weeks ago, now they tell me its 1200 and another two weeks. Suddenly my children aren't included.

Or you made too much money.

Is that possible?

I'm still waiting to receive my "Midtown Money Belt!"

(I assume it has one of those little secret zipper compartments...and is just crammed with cash!)

I was joking. You can't make too much money or be too good looking. I am not in any danger of either.

Those of us in the "Midtown Elite" already have ours, fashioned from the skin of babies and North Tulsans.

Waterboy, I heard the your mailman got a check for a couple of extra kids.  []

But in reality, this just proves that our government is SO incompetent it can't even give money away correctly.

Well, it could be worse: it could be Matthew "Playing the Riddler in the next Batman movie" Lesko giving away the money!

Well, at least you are entitled to a rebate check.  Due to my economic situation and sources of income, I get -0-, zilch dollars from this plan.

Previous comments are correct, this "stimulus rebate" will do nothing but drive up the federal deficit and force higher debt burden on future generations, further cripling the U.S. economy.  Pure political pandering, at the expense of future generations.

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 26 May 2008 at 09:51:24 PM GMT is:
#65532;

The estimated population of the United States is 304,061,351
so each citizen's share of this debt is $30,911.89.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.62 billion per day since September 28, 2007!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!

Your free money has not yet been added in the  total your  great great grand  children are expected to  pay.

Lets reword it to say  WHERE IS THE FREE MONEY THAT THOSE UNBORN WILL PAY ME.

Hey waterboy -- did you ever get your rebate?

I have no idea when we'll get ours. We filed electronically with TurboTax on April 15 and paid what we owed by debit to our account. Expected the rebate to show up in that account by now.

Dangit. I want a new washer and dryer! []

If you owed money, did you remember to put your bank info on the tax form. There was no reason to (so I forgot) except to get your incentive check sooner.

Agree with that. In my review of these rebate checks, it seems the people who are not getting them would be the ones that most likely would spend the money as intended.

A little update. They sent me a letter telling me that they had refigured my taxes and found out that I actually owe them money so...they subtracted the amount from my stimulus check and told me I had a small check coming soon.

It seems that when my paper form was transcribed they left off my two children living at home. The same ones I had last year and the year before and before.....When I called and gave them the ss #'s they refigured and Presto! came up with the same figures I had. So they will send me my regular overpayment in 4-5 weeks plus the rest of my stimulus check in 4-5 weeks and no apologies. He recommended that I electronic file next time.

Gee, if the checks weren't going to clear they could have just told me to hold on to them for 4-6 weeks. They didn't have to create this fiction!
