Answer 1

Favourite answer

Bush sent those out as a tax cut to taxpayers.... I was thrilled, because it helped pay my rent that month.

BTW, it was $300 for my tax bracket.

Answer 2

The federal government borrows enormous amounts of money every year, so stimulus checks are not "tax refunds."  They are borrowed money checks.  In 2020, the federal government borrowed $0.50 of every $1.00 it spent.
