The craziest thing that ever happened to me was getting a $200 check in the mail in Bush tax back program. I was like WTF? why are they sending every body money and why of all people me?? Idiots.

Well it if costs something under $1 billion every year just to print $1 paper bills (that are the current replacement for a dime), then what did it cost to print and mail that $200 check? Oh. It lowered unemployment numbers.
