Property taxes and homeowners insurance. Thrilling, huh?

Didn't spend it. It went into the bank. I may retire one the interest that will accumulate on $600

You have to be an American.
And accept that your kids are going to have to pay for your good fortune as this adds to an already enormous federal deficit.

It involves standing around on street corners in tight fitting pants and tops - you don't really want to go there.

Because in the U.S. public healthcare is considered communistic.

It is baffling. But it's a Republican feel good band-aid in an election year, which is the main reason.
A few years ago we got tax rebates to stimulate the economy. Then had to include the rebates as income and pay taxes on it.

The past tense of pay is paid, not payed.
Like you, I reduced the balance I used it to temporarily get out of debt -- but I finally had to buy gas, so the balance is back up to $60.

My better half and I haven't gotten ours yet but, assuming we do, it will go to pay down or pay off credit cards.

True, but there's a reason it has to be done this way:
Other ways of stimulating the economy are sexual; that could push the economy to dig a hole beneath the fence and attempt to mate with the economy of Canada. Who'd be responsible for the puppies? So long as most people are reluctant to have the economy surgically neutered, sexual stimulation is out of the question.
No, it has to be done this way. I just wish my check would be enough to buy some health insurance. That would be stimulating as all get-out.
