The economic stimulus payments that were part of the legislation that Congress passed earlier this year started being mailed out and deposited into the accounts of taxpayers earlier this month. Yesterday, I received my stimulus payment via direct deposit to my bank.
Wow. The government wants me to stimulate the economy with $13.85. Looks like that will either buy me lunch or a couple of beers. Needless to say, my stimulating of the economy will be slight.

I wish I knew what the heck sector I’m in, because I’d love to get out of it. I guess when you own the business, you’re screwed all around. Sometimes it’s better to be the employee, ’cause then I’d be $13 richer.
Thank you, by the way, for sharing your $13 with me. I can now buy a loaf of bread, which will surely solve the country’s budget crisis.
