Yeah a lot of voters going into the last election had the idea they were going to get immediate government rebate checks - even before he was inaugurated, somehow. $5k was the number I kept hearing. It was all based on a rumor but it spread like wildfire. This shit works, unfortunately. It's like the lotto that they actually won once.
