...apparently in VERY simple terms, why the government felt it was necessary to spend $42,000,000 to send out notes to people like me telling me that I might be getting a check in the mail? They say it was done to keep us from getting confused. Okay, I know I have my moments of confusion and I'm sure that, if I could remember that far back, I'd realize that I'm losing more and more short-term memory on a daily basis. But I think that even I could have dealt with this without that letter. It was actually a little confusing. I got a much broader understanding of the whole situation from watching the Colbert Report. :)
Not a good move to make at the very time people are trying to come to terms with how much money they just had to pay in taxes this last year.

Hi Kat
Well no I cannot explain why our goverment thought it was necessary to send out a notice that makes the whole situation a bit more confusing if you ask me. Like you got a much better picture of it from the Colbert report.
I never try to explain our federal goverment. LOL
Love ya
Now being that I am not from the US this is speculation only but........
I think that they had all this surplus of money and rather than have
&n
Kat,
I sure have no explanations.......when I read that in the newspaper, my first thought was "unbelievable"!!!!
Maybe it's to help "W" understand why we're going to be getting checks.

because they are all bloomin' idiots???
what a colossal waste of money! (on top of other wastes of money..if you really want to be upset read last month's Reader's Digest..they had quite a list!)
they could have just used the media..and no one would complain about a check showing up! I mean, we all knew about it before we even heard about this mailing, right?
and as if you needed more proof they are all nuts..just look at the Gov of NY this week!! geez! it's not just the air in DC!!
its a crazy world
that money could have been better spent!
