Last year you got a $600.00 stimulus check.  
Forget it for this year.

This year the Obama Stimulus package is all about rebates.
Nobody is getting a stimulus check. That sucks but there are other changes that will happen for the better. Lots of them.

People on Social Security and those who are retired and disabled people, may be eligible for rebates.
The recesnt $800 billion stimulus pakage has no provisions to send checks to people in 2009. 

Last year Bush sent the money but it was a feeble atempt to stop the bleeding in the economy. It didn't stop the recession.

It won't be raining money

The 2009 tax credits and social program funding with money from the $800 billion package has other benefits for people .
