It's a political add. It adds nothing to the value of the check and serves no purpose other than to promote Donald Trump to the recipients. I also suspect, but cannot prove, that if Obama had done this in 2009, you (and others on the right) would have been outraged at his abuse of his powers and government resources to promote his campaign for re-election.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

And yes - I know the IRS is denying it - but their denial doesn't hold water. They admit this change requires alteration to the coding, which then has to be tested, and that all of this was done last-minute because the requirement was kept secret until the very end. You cannot do that and not cause a delay.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Personally, I'd be pretty disgusted if I was in the hole with creditors biting at my heals and my much needed financial relief was delayed another week just so a narcissistic, self-aggrandizing president could get has name printed on my check.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

I'm sure you don't, Pix. After all - he's "your man" and he gets defended for pretty much everything he does. And I have no clue what the golf trips have to do with this.

On the surface, I'd agree with you about it's 'importance' if there was no actually delay in issuing the checks required to put his signature on them.
But this is a campaign year, and that is free advertising for the republican candidate at the federal government and taxpayers expense.

Fiscal responsibility is now a quaint, obsolete notion. And it doesn't help that we have a person in the Oval Office who doesn't care because our massive debt "won't be a problem until he's out of office."
Fiscal responsibility was one of the few things I used to be largely aligned with the Republicans on. Now that too, along with so much of what the Republican party used to stand for, is abandoned in favor of "Trumpism."The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
