What will you do with your meager tax refund? How much will you receive? Not much by comparison. To me, it would be better to leave that money and pay down the national debt (assuming they would do so), rather than send everyone a few dollars. It is nothing more than a political ploy. You will receive what, $600 maybe a $1000 more or less. Sure you can use it, but for what? More "toys?" And the poor people who need the money will not receive much because they have not paid much. So all the politicians are doing is trying to convince you that they are really working in your favor--and you know the truth of that!!!
