The Stimulus Check
I don’t know about you but I am pretty happy to be getting a stimulus check this year. With the economy at an all time record low we all could use the help. Last year I know it saved me to get the extra $600 in order to pay off the taxes I owed. This year unfortunately it is going to be used for the exact same purpose. Either way I am still happy to be getting it considering I would have to come up with $800 on my own to pay the government.
When I opened up Yahoo this morning and saw that one governor was not accepting his state to get the stimulus I was appauled. First I was worried it was the state I lived in. Then when I realized it wasn’t I was worried about all those people who have been expecting to get a check and now it’s been taken away. Does this governor really have the right to make this decision? Isn’t government supposedly out to help the people? It will be interesting to see how this one turns out.
