The U.S. government is classy.

Ready for your economic stimulus check?  Who isn’t!!!  Here you go!!!

PSYCH!!!!  No check for you!  What do you think this is a fucking hand-out?!?!?  Your idiocy is only matched by your belief that you’d actually get something for nothing.

The U.S. government has “intercepted” $2 billion in checks to compensate for your outstanding student loans, or child support payments, or back taxes.  It’s a political sham.  Be on my side, I’ll be on your side… until the last minute, when I’ll take that rug you’re standing on and laugh while you fall on your ass.

Before you condemn me, I’ll admit I do agree (partially) with the reason the funds have been stolen from you without your consent.  BUT, what I find tactless is the way it was done.  To rally everyone around the idea of “economic stimulus” and now the entire idea turns out to be bullshit.  If you don’t think this was intended from the beginning, you’re as naive to politics as a Geek Squad employee is to a sex life.

So sorry, dear interceptee, no sweet new iPhone for you.  No government love.  Betcha wish you forked over that hard earned dough to your alma mater now, dontcha!
