Where's My $1200.00?

When I heard about the legislation, my reactions, in order, were:

- They'll never get it passed.

- Great for those working, but won't affect us since SS is secure - for now anyway.

- What? We really get it too?

- Oh, we'll have to wait a few months because we didn't (need to) file income taxes either '18 or '19. They don't know that they know our direct deposit bank info.

- Now that we filed, we didn't need to after all?

- So how long do we have to wait?

- Boy, good we don't have to wait the extra couple months for a "Trump-signed" check. The asshole.

- So... when do they start sending them out again?

- OK, they're going out, where do we fit in their priority list?

- Wait, what? Minuchin is telling the banks they can steal these checks from anybody in arrears?

- Say what now? He's known he needs to address the issue for over two weeks now, and not even started the process that was outlined to him to fix it?

- OK, ours are still not in our accounts, but we can be patient a while.

- While we wait, what might we decide to spend it on?

- Ohhh, that list is too long: what's important and what's fantasy?

- Say, has anybody noticed the check about exactly covers the current price of cremation? Might be best to just save it for now. When it comes.

- When's it coming?
