$42 million seems like a bunch

Okay, lets see a show of hands, who out there doesn’t know about the tax rebate/stimulus thing?  Anyone?  So that’s good.  Okay, who doesn’t know that you need to file a return to get it?  Oh, just a couple folks who didn’t file a return last year either, like people living on social security, or veterans benefits.  Okay, so the IRS is going to spend $42 million sending those people letters.  Wait, what’s that you say?  The $42 million is for the IRS to send letter to people who are already filing taxes every year?  What about the vets and SS folks?  Oh, maybe you’ll send them a letter later, but that amount isn’t included in the total.  Hmmm…why doesn’t this make any sense?  Oh, right, it’s the government.
