What a total and asinine way to waste money! Our U.S. government does more to waste everything it touches, that it is no surprise they will throw away money to tell us something almost every American already knows.
The Internal Revenue Service is spending the money on letters to alert taxpayers to expect rebate checks as part of the economic stimulus plan. Duh! Who hasn’t heard that checks are going out to us? And who doesn’t know that if you didn’t put anything in then don’t expect to get anything back?
Oh, maybe this is part of the stimulus plan! That’s it! $168 billion dollars isn’t enough so the IRS is doing their part.
Why can’t they use the media to get the word out? The internet reaches how many people? How much did it cost to have main stream media tell us the letters were coming? How about sending one letter along with the check to explain the check? That way you only have to spend the money one time. What a concept!
We are in the information age people. Put the tools we have to better use than this.
For those people who don’t bother themselves to watch the news in of its various forms, won’t they be surprised to get a check!
