how many of you remember when the IRS used to give those "supplement," checks to everyone?

ah the good ole days!!!

i think it was under Clinton? maybe?

i cant remember the exact word for it, they called it cash ____ supplement? maybe? i can't remember.

it used to come it seems, once on your tax return in April, and the like sometime in the early fall possibly? i think everyone got the same amount, or it might have came 2 amounts, it was like $600-$750, i think it happened 2 or 3 years in a row, with maybe another lingering year in there somewhere later, i remember it was really cool, because (i probably just wasn't very aware of this type of stuff back then) i never knew when the check was coming/expected it... then BOOM! they say quantitive easing time!! and in a week the check is mailed and arrived in typical IRS time 4-5 weeks, direct deposit was pretty uncommon back then so i remember waiting on the checks to come! 600 bucks back then spends like 1600 does now. (that might have actually been the term i was trying to think of earlier)
