Who will be benefiting from these so called deals when we are being told there has been a dellay in even receiving these checks??? By the sounds of it most people won't be receiving checks until mid June or into July- are the stores going to accomodate them? And as far as peoplle spending these stimulas checks to boost the economy, I think someone is dreaming.....most people I know will be paying off overdue bills pr putting it into savings and hoping it will stay there for a while, if they aren't spending it to actually give their vehicles a FULL tank of gas or actually buying fruit and vegetables for a change.

I like most people had check direct deposited to my account, so extra for cashing check doesn't apply to me. Also IRS will be sending checks into July based on last 4 digets in Soc Number . Most who do recieve checks won't get them till well after most of these deals run out end of May . At best this is a sale that applies to 6 to 10 % of customers that mean 90 to 94% miss out.

I BELIEVE I HAVE THE ANSWER TO THE MONEY CRUNCH. FIRST OF ALL, THOSE WHO ARE ON MEDICAID CANNOT HAVE ANYMORE CHILDREN IF THEY DO THEN OFF THEY GO AND THEY GET A JOB!! MAKE IT MANDITORY. THEN AFTER THEY ARE ON FOR A YEAR KICK THEIR ASSES OFF GET A JOB EVEN IF IT'S FLIPPING HAMBURGERS IT'S A JOB I'M TIRED OF SUPPORTING LOW LIFES. UNDER AGE AND PREGNANT? THEY HAVE TO HAVE AN ABORTION WE CANNOT PAY FOR ANY MORE KIDS THAT GO THRU THE WELFARE SYSTEM. ARE YOU HERE WITHOUT PAPERS? YOU CAN'T GET OUR WELFARE, GO HOME AND LIVE OFF THEM AND JOIN THE GANG THERE AND KEEP OFF OUR STREETS. WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE? GANGS IN OUR STREETS? IF YOU THINK WE ARE UNFAIR THEN GO HOME, BREAK THE LAW THERE AND STAND IN LINE FOR HOURS FOR WATER AND BREAD. IF YOU ARE TOUGH ENOUGH TO BE IN A GANG AND LAY AROUND THE HOUSE AND COLLECT MY HARD EARNED MONEY THEN YOU SHOULD BE TOUGH ENOUGH TO WORK, LIKE THE REST OF US FOOLS DO. AS FOR MY MONEY, I'LL JUST OWE IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR

Gripes and more gripes. We live in the greatest county ever and all you hear are gripes. Go live anywhere else in the world for a year and then return home...you will then kiss the ground that you return to.
I donât want the government to do better for me. I want to do better for myself. More government making sure everyone has all their needs satisfied will only lead to fewer incentives to do for yourself.
Stop griping and make the best life you can...there are plenty of opportunities.
Those in desperate need will always get help. We are a generous people.

Spend your 600 bucks on your kids. They will pay it back when they start working.
