My only comment is that money should be spent wisely.Pay down your bills or save it for heat for the coming winter.Remember since the US government spends more than it takes in that money was borrowed from Japan,Chinia even Mexico at 6% interest.Somewhere down the road that money has to be paid back.

dont know about you but 1200 is nothing compaired to what we pay in taxes,and we could have alot more here in ohio if they didnt wast money putting up miles and miles of walls down the freeway for houses the builders should pay for, just think of the money our gvmnt is wasting on concrete when we could build a hell of a lot of new schools- my country needs to pull its head out of its ass if not im gonna file a lawsuit for using in authorized illegal use of funds for personal gain,

Spend the money the way you want... I am certain that the majority of you will still find it easier to blame someone else for why it isn't enough, or why we should not have received it in the first place, or how it is blood money from a war that is unjust, or find ways to tie it back to the White House and how they are causing the weeds to grow in your backyard and the paint to peel on your house. I am sure you will look to tell someone that because you do not have a car that is newer than 2000 that someone in Washington, (those who generally have an (R) behind their name) owe it to you that you have a new car or it's just another example of how they hate you and your children. I am sure you will still be the same miserable, class warfare, angry, envious, and bitter folks that you were before the extra money (which is yours ... by the way, in case the govt. keeps from telling you that) came to your household.

i say we all take our money and put it together and we would have enough to build and own our own white house to run, no bull **** jobs and no more partying on our tax dollars, and we could close the old one so we dont use un-necessassary
electricity , and know more congress or presidents screwing other people- shame on them there married and supposed to set a good example for our future generation-i wonder how much of our tax dollars went to pay for jenna bushes wedding?????
