Have you noticed people do not trust anything about the stimulus checks because of Trump.

I was afraid to use the IRS website, I did use it because I said if I wait for a check Trump and his band of crooks could fuck that up also. What the hells the difference, you know what I mean.

Because of Trump I do not trust anything anymore, It's called survival.

I think I know less now than before I tried.

So I just wait, and check my credit union from time to time to see.

to offshore accounts and still maintain the idea the missed payments are "technical glitches" and "isolated incidents" that are
"bound to happen in a project of this scale."

When a tax prep service gets paid with your refund, they send the IRS their bank data, then pull the refund, then send you the remainder. That means that the IRS doesn't have your check #.

This wasn't well thought out. Unfortunately, if you show me one error, then I suspect there are a half dozen more that I haven't seen yet, because I know you didn't work through the problems before deployment.

I hate that agencies are being forced into making errors, just so government can be drowned in that bathtub.
