IRS reverts to clunky bureaucracy

I take back my kudos for the Internal Revenue Service.

I thought they were actually going to be all nimble and smart by direct depositing the federal stimulus money to the folks that used direct deposit for their tax refunds.

Then, today, I get a letter from them, telling me that they direct deposited the money.

Thus, nullifying any savings of them not actually mailing me a paper check.

They sent a letter telling me to expect a payment, they paid me, then they told me that they'd paid me.

Good grief.  This is (one example) why I lean toward Libertarian.

84 cents of postage times however hundreds of millions of us there are...  just gone, but that we're all going to be paying interest on that number to China, Saudi Arabia, (and whomever else is buying our debt) for the next 30 years or more.

Actually, we're all (nationally) going to be paying interest on the amount of our collective and various stimulus checks as well.

Makes me want to go right out and spend to stimulate the economy... at the liquor store
