Ok so am i the only one who hasn't gotten their stimulus check yet?

Question

The dollar is not dead you idiot. You're jumping the gun. It wasn't dead even during the depression. How do I know? BECAUSE WE ARE STILL USING IT TODAY! Until the time comes when no one uses it anymore its still alive and being used. Until then, it is not dead. Do you need to go back to the third grade?

Besides, if the dollar is that dead then why don't you give me your stimulus check? Its obviously not doing you any good?

Answer 1

Nope - I haven't seen mine yet either...

Answer 2

I haven't yet either.

As to the dollar being dead: Our government has so drastically inflated the currency, the dollar is all but worthless (compared to its former buying power.)

To get an idea of the diminished buying power (and relative worth of a dollar,) calculate the cost of an pennyweight of gold in 1900 vs today. (20 pennyweights to a Troy ounce.)

In 1900 the cost was $1. (close enough)

In 2008 the cost is $1000. (also close enough and easier math)

The value of gold has actually gone down because there is more of it and because mining techniques are better now. So since the value has become less and the price more, we can know that the difference can only be attributed to the lessened value of the medium of exchange, the dollar. Basically, without getting too terribly complicated, the U.S. dollar is worth 1/1000th of a dollar, and so it's buying power is equivalent to .001¢.

Also, we still use our dollars only because the government forces us to. Look it up!

Answer 3

Nope, we don't have ours either.  I'm starting to doubt if we are going to get one.  :(

Answer 4

Why don't you go on their website and it will tell you the exact date you will get your payment, unfortunately I don't know the web address, sorry!

ad det:s... found it, it's

www.irs.gov

Answer 5

If you did not file for it, you don't get it.  If you filed for it, you should get a second letter telling you when you should get it.  If the check does not arrive within 6 weeks after you get that letter, the letter explains what you should do.

Answer 6

Argentina, Brazil to drop U.S. dollar in bilateral commercial transactions

    BUENOS AIRES, March 15 (Xinhua) -- Argentina and Brazil are to scrap bilateral commercial transactions in U.S. dollars and start using their own currencies from August, an official in charge of currency settlement at the Argentine Central Bank said here Saturday.

    The new payment system is aimed at reducing costs in commercial transactions and would benefit small and medium-sized enterprises, the official said.

    Under the new system, there will be a unified exchange rate between the real and peso, the so-called reference rate, which will be applied by Brazilian and Argentine central banks at the end of each day.

    Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva reached an agreement to establish a new payment system with his Argentine counterpart Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner during his visit to Argentina in February.

    Technical preparations are underway for the new system, which the two countries will adopt in several steps due to the large amount of bilateral trade.

    Brazil is Argentina's largest trading partner, while Argentina is Brazil's second-biggest trading partner after the United States.

    Bilateral trade stood at around 23.6 billion U.S. dollars last year.
