I got my $600 economic stimulus check in the mail yesterday. I’ve scanned it and included it for all the world to see. (with minor editing to protect my family’s privacy)

This is supposed to help the U.S. economic my stimulating a mini-buying spree nationwide. But many people I know will just use the money to help pay off maxed-out credit cards.

A also know people who are not getting checks because they were laid off from their jobs and didn’t make any money last year. No stimulus for them.
