In 2008 the federal government mailed stimulus refund checks to taxpayers.
"It's more than just giving someone an unemployment check"
"It's also helping those people with their health insurance while they've lost their jobs and more important than just that unemployment check, it's to do what we can to give people a paycheck."
"juice the economy to make sure that we can avoid a hard landing"-
Paul Ryan
Ryan really loves spending money...anyone remember his plan to pay for the checks he voted to mail out?
