No Economic Stimulus for Me

bjarvisI just tried the IRS' economic stimulus payment calculator to see what, if any, stimulation I might hope to receive.
I knew the rebate would decrease for anyone with an AGI above $75k, but I didn't know by how much or at which point the stimulus would become $0. I still don't know that, but the calculator indicates I made too much money in 2007 to qualify. Bugger.
Ah well... I can still mooch off of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

In other news, Zimbabwe has just announced their $50,000,000 bill as they struggle to cope with inflation exceeding 100,000% per year. According to the article, this new denomination is worth about $1 USD and would buy about three loaves of bread.
My immediate thoughts were:
- $50 million bill?! Wow!
- 100,000% annual inflation?! WTF!
- three loaves of bread for only $1 USD?! I paid too much at Safeway!
